Exploring the complexities of a strained relationship, "Still" by Daughter delves into the emotional turmoil and lingering intimacy between two individuals. The lyrics poignantly capture the paradox of a connection where love and resentment coexist, symbolized through imagery like "cold smoke" and contrasting actions such as touching feet and biting words. Despite the evident discord and fading warmth, there remains a stubborn closeness — an unwillingness to let go, highlighted in repeated phrases like "still with hearts beating." This song eloquently expresses the pain and beauty of holding on to each other even when elements of the relationship have grown cold, reflecting the difficulty of completely severing ties that once deeply bound two people.
