| Bombay Bicycle Club – Still Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think this song is clearly about cheating "Held your standards close to heart but late one night you threw them down Simple promises you said you'd never break but now you have" The girl he loved turned into the person she promised she would never be, a cheater. "All throughout the morning though I'm begging no your lips they stay perfectly still" This is the part about the confrontation. He finds out that she cheated on him, and he's heartbroken, asking for it to be a lie, but of course she has nothing to say and her lips "stay perfectly still". "Did he fill the empty spaces was he everything I'm not? There's no force behind my mouth but in just three words he brings you down" This is where the questions are asked, where he wonders what the person who she chetead with had that he didn't, if that person was able to give her what he couldn't and also how the power of "just three words" changed her completly breaking all of her promises. "There's a movement out the door I swear but no your lips they stay perfectly still" This it's the end of it all. I think he still expects an answer to why she did it, but she knows that she could never say what he wated to hear so she just walks out the door without saying anything. I honestly think this is the best song by Bombay Bicycle Club and what I love the most about it besides these beautiful lyrics it's the fragility of his voice when he sings it, 'cause he shows every bit of pain and sadness that a person on this situation would feel. |
