Still In Love (feat. Eryn Allen Kane)
Thirdstory
The Lingering Ache of Unresolved Love
Thirdstory's song 'Still In Love (feat. Eryn Allen Kane)' delves into the raw and unfiltered emotions of lingering love and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a summer night where the protagonist is trying to catch up with an old flame. Despite the casual setting of drinking wine by the fire, the protagonist is overwhelmed by the realization that they are not over the past relationship. The song captures the internal struggle of trying to move on while still being deeply in love.
The chorus reveals the protagonist's vulnerability and the facade they maintain. They admit to getting high and drunk to escape the memories and feelings that haunt them. The line 'I get high every night when I'm all alone' signifies the depth of their pain and the lengths they go to numb it. The repeated confession 'I'm still in love with you' underscores the central theme of the song – the inescapable nature of their love and the torment it brings.
The song also touches on the jealousy and despair that come with unrequited love. The protagonist imagines their former lover with someone else, which drives them to the brink of madness. The lyrics 'I picture you making love to someone else' and 'I get drunk to shut up all these memories' highlight the destructive coping mechanisms they employ. The song's climax is a desperate plea for reciprocation, as the protagonist yearns for their love to be acknowledged and returned. The emotional intensity of the song is amplified by Eryn Allen Kane's soulful vocals, which add depth and resonance to the heartache expressed in the lyrics.
