Still There
VerseQuence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it know there's someone
waiting right here?
That it chooses to fall
at the moment right when my eyes
would start shedding tears
Walking down the path and curves, I encountered you
Why can't I seem
to close the gap
right in between
the you and I
That's satisfied
with both of our smiles
one whole and one broken
I watch your back as you'll never know
I'm just right here keeping you from hurting as you go
turn your back and you would see me still there, I'll stay
I'm okay
There's a sudden gleam of light
does it know there's someone
longing for a smile?
That it chooses to shine
at the moment right when your eyes
would stare back at mine
Going down the paths and curves, I begin to run
You become so hard to reach when you're chasing someone
Why can't I seem
to close the gap
right in between
the you and I
That's satisfied
with both of our smiles
one whole and one broken
I watch your back as you get away
I'll keep on running even if it would take all day
turn your back and you would see me still there, I'll stay
I'm okay
What will I do?
What will I say?
When you start to give up and you fall down on your way?
Do I keep you?
Do I stop you?
Do I hold your hand and walk the path I want to take?
What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
Why can't I seem
to close the gap
right in between
the you and I
That's satisfied
with both of our smiles
one made due to the other
I'll watch your back and you can just go
From time to time I'll walk by your side and let you know
as long as you are happy, I'll stay
I'll be okay
The song "Still There" by VerseQuence is about unrequited love and a longing to be close to someone who is unaware of the singer's feelings. The lyrics describe the emotions and struggles of wanting to be with someone but not being able to, as well as the desire to be supportive and helpful even from a distance. The singer watches this person from afar, wishing they could be together and close the gap between them. The opening lines in the first verse talk about rain that seems to be falling at precisely the moment when the singer's eyes would start shedding tears due to their unfulfilled love.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe a sudden beam of light that seems to shine the moment the other person looks back at the singer, emphasizing the hope and longing that the singer feels for a reciprocal connection. The chorus repeats the themes of trying to close the gap and be satisfied with one another's smiles, regardless of whether or not they are both broken.
The bridge of the song offers up a series of questions about what the singer should do if the person they love falls down or gives up. This emphasizes the singer's desire to be there for their love and support them even if they can't be together romantically. The song ends with the singer pledging to watch the other person's back and be happy as long as they are, even if it means walking by their side from time to time and settling for just that.

Wow perfect! Actually I have Hatsune Miku V3 English too but, It's too hard to make miku naturally.
May be it's little hard to listening cause it's miku.. (She is japanese..)
by the way I want to buy HQ MP3 but I don't know how to buy misic.
Because I'm korean.. (May be there are wrong something in this comment)
So, unfortunately, it seems to not be able to buy songs.

This is so Nostalgic ! hearing this song on 2021. I've been listening to this track last 2016 with someone I used to love. Glad to hear this track in tears again for 4 years since I started listening to this.
The thing that went to my mind to search this track cause I was typing something and I evetually typed "Still There" and then I eventually search for it. Thank You for making me go back and feel the past.
