Still Feel It All
MARO
The Lingering Ache of Unrequited Love
MARO's song "Still Feel It All" delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the lingering feelings that persist even after years have passed. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has repeatedly expressed their feelings to another person, only to be met with indifference. This unreciprocated affection leads to a sense of frustration and confusion, as the protagonist wonders if the situation will ever change and if the object of their affection will ever want to be with them.
The chorus, with its poignant repetition of "It's been five years and I still feel it all," underscores the depth and persistence of these emotions. Despite the passage of time, the protagonist remains unable to move on, haunted by memories and sensations that resurface whenever they encounter the person they love. The detailed descriptions of the person's eyes, mouth, and even their smell highlight the intensity of these lingering feelings, which continue to evoke nervousness and emotional upheaval.
The song captures the universal experience of holding onto feelings for someone who does not feel the same way. It speaks to the difficulty of letting go and the irrational nature of love, where emotions often defy logic and reason. MARO's heartfelt delivery and the raw honesty of the lyrics make "Still Feel It All" a relatable and moving exploration of the pain and complexity of unrequited love.
