A still life is a painting, one which captures a moment in time with all shades of light and dark. I like to think that this song represents much of what my life was like in 2019. I had just graduated college and for most of that year my only responsibilities were touring with the band and making sure the grass was mowed by the weekend.

I had aggressively bad sleeping habits usually staying up drinking until the sun started peaking its head over the ridge . Carousing away into the night usually leads to good stories and some bad and I definitely was dealt a black eye and mean scar on my head. .

The song takes a dramatic turn, while still upbeat the party starts to end. Introspectively speaking I share the belief that I often used to think about, the idea that while I write new songs even in my wildest dreams the listener does not want to hear it. Excistitanl crisis ensues and the belief grows that I will cut my hair, shave my face, lose weight and succumb to the pressure of being tied down to endless work, and particularly work unfulfilling.
