LYRIC CORRECTION: By tomorrow we'll be swimming with the fishes Leave out troubles in the sand And when the sun comes up We'll be nothing but dust Just the outlines of our hands By tomorrow we'll be lost amongst the leaves In a wind that chills the skeletons of trees And when the moon, it shines, I will leave two lines Just find my love, then find me But don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose you Don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose Lose you By tomorrow I'll be left in the darkness Amongst your cold sheets And your shoes will be gone And your body warmth no longer beside me So don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose you Don't bring tomorrow 'Cause I already know I'll lose I'll lose You |

| Daughter – Still Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Like so many, I think this is about two people falling out love with each other, but still clinging to the ghosts of the love they once shared. I was in this exact situation, living with a boyfriend for two years, the last six months was a living imitation of this song. I'm not even sure I could describe it any better than this song does. Laying in bed next to someone you used to adore, both of you awake pretending the other one isn't, both craving intimacy if only to bring back that love...but it never does. The words behind words, the viciousness that feeling trapped in a dead relationship brings out, it just spreads like poison. Eventually we parted ways and I left when I just couldn't do it without losing everything of myself,but it was hard to get to the point that I could separate from someone who had a hand in every part of my life. Not just emotionally, but financially as well. I think that's a big part that makes you feel like you have nowhere to go. You're living with someone, sharing financial responsibility, and if you're young or don't have a lot of money saved, it really does leave you in a prison you made yourself when a relationship dies. Anyways, that's my interpretation. | |

I love music, mainly because so many people can have different views on what the lyrics mean, regardless of it's writer's intent. ^.^ Personally, I think it's about two people who are utterly alone without each other, maybe the only friend either one has ever had, and they've shared their whole lives with each other. Making promises, vowing to always be together, even in death. Which is how I interpret the first stanza. But one day, they realized their friendship has been irrevocably changed. Maybe one friend changed for the worse while the other stayed the same. If you've ever had someone that was literally the only person you could trust, that had your whole heart (in a platonic sense in this scenario) and that you've shared everything with, made plans for your entire life to be "sisters" with, and then suddenly one day they change and abandon you...it's earth shattering. You not only feel like you've lost a friend, but a part of yourself. Your future plans are suddenly erased, your past memories are muddled and clouded with bitterness, and you're alone because the only person you had walked away. It's like being left hollow and lost in the middle of nowhere without the first clue on how to even move forward.So essentially you both fell the same day, you woke up wanting the friendship back desperately, but they never did. You can't stay where you're not wanted, everything is on fire because you no longer have them or recognize them. So you have to run, it's the only thing you can do if you don't want to burn in the agony of losing that person, of being abandoned. So you run for your life, and you hold all those emotions inside ("You can only hold back the river so long.") You feel like you can't trust anyone again, since the only person you trusted so much, betrayed you, became someone you didn't know. ("She had fire inside you, and that terrified you.") And I take the lines "Run for your life." and so on as someone new in your life, or someone that cares for you, trying to save you from yourself. Trying to remind you that even if you never trusted them or really depended on them, that you're not alone. That they know a large part in you wants to reach out again, but is too scared. ("I know the hunger in you is strong.") So they try to reach out for you, telling you to run from what's gone ("And leave all that's burnt behind."), telling you to leave the burnt bridges in the past and make new ones. Run from the pain instead of wallowing and try to start over. Idk, I might be looking entirely too much into these lyrics and twisting them to fit my own experience, but such is the joy of music. ^.^ |

I see it as the opposite almost. I see it as how things change when you grow older. Instead of the things you do as a child, when you're carefree and everything was so happy, when you're older the reality sets in, and life can get nearly unbearable. So to let loose, to cling to that lost innocence/joy you drink, you have sex and flings, you use drugs, just to escape reality a little. All the while you hope by doing these things the parts you lose during life grow back, your joy and innocence, and maybe in the morning you become who you once were before things got so hard. Maybe go home, and I take home to mean a sense of comfort, safety, and warmth. (regardless of what the literal meaning of home may be.) Either way, I like reading different interpretations of songs from mine. |

Personally, this song really hits home for me as well. My interpretation is different though, and the above lyrics correction helps a lot with that. I was wondering if my hearing was wrong when I first read the lyrics up top. XD Anyways, for me this really relates to a situation I was in with a now ex-boyfriend that I was living with for around two years. We went through something pretty heavy, and after that I was never the same. I do have a problem with depression, but then again who doesn't? Either way, I was in a place where I felt like I was dead inside, as cliche as that sounds. I remembered I loved him before the incident (we'll call it that) happened, but I had nothing left in me to still love him after the first time I broke down about it, showing that amount of weakness for the first time in front of someone ever, and he only said I needed to get off the fucking edge. It was that moment my entire being just shut down. After that we still lived together, he went about his life like nothing happened, while I became this person I didn't know, pretending right along with him. After a while, you forget consciously that you're pretending, that you're heart is tearing apart with each breath. Each day, I would fall further and further into madness until I just felt like screaming because I never dealt with what happened, and the only person I had loved with all my being, who had a part in the incident, just seemed to bounce back. I got cold, started to hate almost everything about him, lashed out with misplaced anger, and just became a shell. I knew inside it was wrong, knew this wasn't who I was, knew that I wasn't being fair, but the pain and anger suffocated me and after not facing what happened for so long, it was easier to never do so. Of course, I finally left because we both couldn't turn back time, and i couldn't become the person he loved so much before because I lost a large part of who I was. Sorry for the long babble, I guess I took this as a therapy post. XD Either way, everything in this song really speaks to my heart. I didn't know if I was human anymore, I didn't know how to stop feeling or acting the way I was, I didn't know how to love anymore, and I felt like I was dying every day. |
