Still Standing Lyrics
I wish you were here tonight with me to see the northern lights.
I wish you were here tonight with me.
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning.
I wish I could have you by my side.
'Cause I've been down and I've been crawling,
won't back down no more.
Can't you stop the lies falling from the skies?
Down on me, I'm still standing.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised,
conscience clear, I'm still standing here.
Burns like a thousand stars.
Though you are light years away.
Burns like a thousand stars or more.
You're up there, you're always with me,
smiling down on me.
Can't you stop the lies falling from the skies?
Down on me, I'm still standing.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised,
conscience clear, I'm still standing here.
It's something sacred, something so beautiful.
Something quiet to ease the mind.
When the pressure's taking me over and over.
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling.
Pushed around, and always falling.
You're up there, you're always with me,
smiling down on me.
Can't you stop the lies falling from the skies?
Down on me, I'm still standing.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised,
conscience clear, I'm still standing here.
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies?
Down on me.
Still standing here.
Can't you roll the dice?
I might be surprised,
conscience clear.
I'm still standing here.
Here.
I wish you were here tonight with me.
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning.
I wish I could have you by my side.
won't back down no more.
Down on me, I'm still standing.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised,
conscience clear, I'm still standing here.
Though you are light years away.
Burns like a thousand stars or more.
smiling down on me.
Down on me, I'm still standing.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised,
conscience clear, I'm still standing here.
Something quiet to ease the mind.
When the pressure's taking me over and over.
Pushed around, and always falling.
You're up there, you're always with me,
smiling down on me.
Down on me, I'm still standing.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised,
conscience clear, I'm still standing here.
Down on me.
Still standing here.
Can't you roll the dice?
I might be surprised,
conscience clear.
I'm still standing here.
Here.

I actually read it is exactly like that. This song is about a friend of Lauri (the singer) who has died of drugs... I read that in a comment of this song by himself.
i think it's a man singing to a girl he loved who's just died, and they faced terrible peril together or something and now he's left to face all the troubles they once fought together, but he's strengthened even though it's so hard because he imagines her watching over him and staying with him.
no one commented on this song yet? well, then... it's mine!!
right...
well.. my opinion on this song... it seems to me the singer is talking to someone who was close to him who might have died.... ("You're up there, you're always with me, smiling down on me")... and misses that person...
how very technical and deep...
this song is awesome though... definetly one of my faves off the "dead letters" album...
i can see myself singing that if i ever get to see the northern lights... figuratively, i wouldn't randomly burst into song in the middle of the night :S
I can play this song on the piano!! :P
LMAO! simsfreq i would actually burst into the song if i were you! heck i'd do it if i were me! that would rock!
Come on? Anybody else wants to comment about this song? We already know this song is about a friend of Lauries who died. But what the heck does he mean by "cant you stop the lies coming from the skies"? I certainly dont know.
my guess is, "cant you stop the lies coming from the skies" means that since he died from drugs, people r making lies about him and saying stuff and lauri hates hearing it because he loves his friend and he wants the lies to stop
I think that the singer in the song is still very confused as to what he believes is going to happen after death, and so he is asking his friend who he would normally turn to for advice, but who is now dead not to forget him and to help him sift through all of the different religious and scientific answers out there to find the truth -- "Can't you stop the lies falling from the skies" -- but I dont understand the part about his conscience being clear.
well...I don't usually trust in magazines or online interviews(only videos where I can see them and stuff saying whatever they're saying)...and today I was listening to the song, and I think it could be another thing: He's talking to God, he's telling him something like: hey where are you?? I'm still here standing and u don't stop lies or whatever...and I'm needing you, and I wish u were here with me... well..that's only what I feel like hearing the lyrics and dunno...but well, if it's true that thing of his friend...ok, I'm wrong^^ but I see it like that...just like that, I try to look for another meaning and there's no answer in my mind(lol) "conscience clear,I'm still standing here"---->hey, let's talk clearly and seriously, I'm still here and I haven't received a sing from You(God)....dunno, I'm religious and I know how a person feels like that in respect to God and if he's helping me or not......thoughts of mine... well...nothing more rock on!!!!!!!!! LOVE YA RASMUS!! (sorry if my english is bad..I'm spanish)
