Witness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's like a fever, it's like fever i'm coming down with
hold this shaking hand of mine
like you're part of me
like your actually a part of me
and everyday i think like this
and every reasoned thought reduces to an empty shell
but there's nobody to tell
that this picture can't be perfect
steal my memories
they are nothing, i could just invent some more
and when i sleep i'll just try waking up
lose some battles win some wars
and in the still of life i feel it pulling from the centre
hear the word and run for cover
some can die before their bodies stop
but i'm still breathing and while i'm breathing
i'd better get up and leave
and when i see my time
high above the day i die
way too high to stop and care
i still want you there, i still want you there
The lyrics of Witness's song "Still" speak about the struggle of coping with life's everyday challenges and trying to maintain a sense of control and composure amidst it all. The song begins with the comparison of the singer's thought process to a fever that they are coming down with. The fever represents the intensity and overwhelming nature of their thoughts and emotions, which become increasingly difficult to manage.
The singer then reaches out to someone else and asks them to hold their shaking hand, indicating a need for support and comfort. They express a desire to feel connected to this person, as though they are an integral part of them. Despite this, they feel alone in their struggle as they have no one to tell about it.
The following lines suggest a sense of dissatisfaction and disappointment with life, as they speak of reduced "reasoned thought" that leaves them feeling empty. They cling to the ideal of perfection and refuse to believe that their picture cannot be perfect. As they struggle with their thoughts and emotions, they say they can steal their memories and invent some more.
Continuing in the same vein, the singer says they will try to ignore their problems and face life with a different perspective. They accept that they may lose some battles but can still emerge victorious from some wars. The song then reaches its chorus, which speaks of a pull from the center of life and the singer's realization that they need to leave and move on to something new.
The next lines indicate that the singer is still breathing and alive, conscious of how precious life is, and wanting their loved one to be there with them even at the moment of death. The song's lyrical interpretation convinces us of the tireless struggle in life and the necessity to move on, no matter what the circumstances are.
