The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Still Love You" by the artist "Tom McRae"

In Tom McRae's song "Still Love You," the lyrical protagonist reflects on complex and contradictory feelings for his lover, using dark and surreal imagery.

The walk through the cemetery becomes a metaphor for a relationship on the verge of life and death. The hero feels like a "ghost," as if a part of him has already died in this relationship. The enumeration of his roles – "a fool," "the one who listens to your cries" – shows desperate attempts to hold onto love, even at the cost of self-deprecation and unhealthy obsession.

The chorus "But I, I still love you" sounds like a mantra, an attempt to convince himself of the sincerity of his feelings, despite all their toxicity.

The image of a "wolf in the full moon" and a "shadowboxer at noon" emphasizes the hero's inner struggle, his confusion and bewilderment. He doesn't understand who he is in this relationship, what role he plays.

The questions "Did I come to save you? Are you water or a wave?" reflect doubts about the nature of love. Is it salvation or a dangerous element that can consume him?

The final repetition of the chorus leaves a feeling of hopelessness. The hero realizes the destructiveness of his feelings but cannot resist them. Love for him is both a curse and the only source of life.
