Still
2000
what's up brother
don't you hear the churches fall
won't you run and watch it all
hear the bells so blue their sound
and if you're fast you'll be around
it won't be the same again
feel the open wind my friend
don't you know this is the end of this game
"means nothing to me"
and still they wanna know
and still they are searching for the light
and still they wanna grow in you
watch the rivers
see the darkest stream and drown
see how fast it's running down
I won't feel the same again
touch the coldest cross my friend
don't you know this is the end of this game
and still they wanna know
and still they are searching for the light
and still they wanna grow in you
still they wanna grow
and still they are searching for the light
and still they wanna know
to be alone
to be alone
to be alone
I won't be the same again
feed the open mind my friend
don't you know this is the end of this game
and still they wanna know
and still they are searching for the light
and still they wanna grow in you
still they wanna know
and still they are searching for the light
and still they wanna grow in you
to be alone
to be alone
to be alone
The lyrics of ViViD's song Still seem to be a commentary on the fall of religion and the search for truth in a world that seems to be spiraling out of control. The song begins with a greeting between two brothers, setting a casual and familiar tone, before the first line plunges into the heart of the matter. The churches are falling, and the brother is advised to run and watch it all. The imagery of bells that sound blue and a fast-paced wind that signals the end of the game creates a sense of urgency.
The chorus repeats the phrase "and still they wanna know" which implies that people are searching for truth and answers even as everything around them is falling apart. The second verse adds a layer of darkness to the song, with the vivid image of a dark stream and drowning. The lines "see how fast it's running down/I won't feel the same again" are particularly haunting and speak to the idea of irreversible damage.
The bridge, with its repetition of "to be alone," is somewhat ambiguous but may be interpreted as a desire for solitude in the face of chaos. The final chorus is a repetition of the previous one, with the addition of "still they wanna grow in you," which seems to imply that there is hope for growth and transformation even in the midst of despair.
Overall, the lyrics of Still are complex and multi-layered, touching on themes of faith, doubt, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.

what's up brother
A casual greeting to someone, but without any positive emotions behind it
don't you hear the churches fall
Do you not understand the destruction and chaos in the world around us?
won't you run and watch it all
Why not observe the world's collapse with detachment and curiosity?
hear the others
Take time to listen to the voices of those around you
hear the bells so blue their sound
Feel the pain and despair in the sounds of the bells ringing
and if you're fast you'll be around
If you act quickly, you may be able to witness the fall of society
it won't be the same again
Things will never return to how they used to be
feel the open wind my friend
Experience the feeling of freedom that comes with accepting the end of the world
don't you know this is the end of this game
Realize that this is the end of the world as we know it
and still they wanna know
Despite the destruction around them, people still seek answers and understanding
and still they are searching for the light
In the darkness of the world's end, people still hope for a glimmer of hope
and still they wanna grow in you
People continue to search for meaning and growth in their lives, even in the face of destruction
watch the rivers
Observe the natural world that is also impacted by the world's collapse
see the darkest stream and drown
Witness the despair of the world around you and feel overwhelmed
see how fast it's running down
Notice how quickly everything is falling apart
I won't feel the same again
The end of the world has changed the singer's perspective irreversibly
touch the coldest cross my friend
Experience the pain and suffering of the world's end in a tangible way
to be alone
A desire for solitude in the midst of chaos and destruction
feed the open mind my friend
Embrace a mindset of curiosity and openness in the face of the world's end
still they wanna grow
People continue to seek opportunities for growth, even in a world that is ending

One of my fave songs back then. I thought it's not German, because it sounds like American rock band with slight country music vibe.. luv it.
