Yukka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I step out tonight
Before I run and hide
You don't know how to love, she says
But you were always on my mind
Now you know my name alright
But you don't know where I hide
You make me think of quiet days
When everything was white
Not like the shades of grey I hide today
I'm tired of playing the games I play
All alone
So come out and find me
The lyrics of Yukka's song "Still" reveal the struggle of a person who is frustrated with a relationship that is not working out. The singer says that this is the last song they will write before stepping out into the night and hiding. The phrase "you don't know how to love" is addressed to their partner, who seems unable to understand or reciprocate the singer's emotions. Despite all the difficulties, the singer confesses that the partner was always on their mind.
The second verse is a lament that the partner does not understand the singer's need for space and privacy. While the partner knows their name, they do not know where they hide when they are not together. The singer reflects on the relationship's past, where everything was perfect and peaceful, unlike the current state of things where the singer feels burdened with secrets and hidden emotions.
The chorus of the song is a plea for the partner to find the singer, to end the loneliness and confusion that is tearing the singer apart. The last line of the song, "Come out and find me," is an invitation to the partner to meet the singer halfway, to work together towards finding a solution to their problems.
Overall, "Still" is a song of longing, regret, and hope. The singer is searching for something that seems just out of reach, and the lyrics evoke a sense of melancholy and sadness, yet there is a glimmer of optimism that things can get better.
Line by Line Meaning
This is the last song I will write
I'm putting an end to expressing my feelings through music
Before I step out tonight
I'm leaving and moving on
Before I run and hide
Before I escape from your toxic love
You don't know how to love, she says
You lack the ability to love me properly
But you were always on my mind
I couldn't stop thinking about you despite your flaws
Now you know my name alright
You recognize who I am
But you don't know where I hide
You're unaware of where I go to escape from you
When I'm not by your side
When I'm not in your presence
You make me think of quiet days
You remind me of peaceful times
When everything was white
When everything was perfect
Not like the shades of grey I hide today
My life isn't as perfect as it used to be
I'm tired of playing the games I play
I'm exhausted from pretending and hiding my true feelings
All alone
I'm alone in this journey
So come out and find me
Come and search for me if you can
