about

'Still Life' starts in a familiar universe and bubbles up into another. The shift illustrates an appetite for personal, political and stylistic change, boiling over. The song examines feelings of being worn down and halted by progress, stagnating both in society and individually. It is about breaking free from patterns of still life defined by cyclical, repeated forms of inaction, and predictable modes of conformity.

lyrics

In this indelible life
I’ve seen as much I thought I would
Not all tasks I tried to do in spare
There is a focus that loosens with wear

In intelligible air
I can see the picture without the frame
I know we all have a cross to bear
But I’ve been carrying this feeling around with me for a while
That I don’t care.

A while. Cared for a while

In intelligible air
I can see the picture without the frame
I know we all have a cross to bear
But I’ve been carrying this feeling around with me for a while
that I don’t care,
A while now
that I can’t figure it out.
