Still Goin

Crim3s' song 'Still Goin' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the longing for validation from a distant lover. The repetitive questioning, 'Do you still have love for me?' underscores a sense of desperation and uncertainty. This repetition not only highlights the speaker's anxiety but also mirrors the cyclical nature of their thoughts, trapped in a loop of doubt and yearning. The phrase 'falling, falling, falling' suggests a continuous descent into emotional despair, emphasizing the prolonged suffering that feels like 'years' to the speaker.

The lyrics 'Well, here I am, Give what you can' indicate a plea for any form of acknowledgment or affection, no matter how small. The repeated line 'I shouldn't breathe' can be interpreted as the speaker feeling unworthy of love or even life itself without the reciprocation of their feelings. This line, coupled with 'Speak to me,' reveals a deep need for communication and connection, which seems to be lacking in the relationship.

The imagery of 'A face that aches, A heart that breaks' poignantly captures the physical and emotional pain of unrequited love. The song's haunting repetition of 'love me, love me, love me' at the end serves as a final, desperate cry for affection, encapsulating the raw vulnerability and relentless hope that the speaker clings to. Crim3s' dark, atmospheric soundscape complements the lyrical content, creating an immersive experience that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the sting of unreturned love.
