The song "Still Life" by The Horrors seems to be a contemplative piece about the passing of time, waiting and the inevitability of things happening as they are meant to. The lyrics suggest that there is no need to rush things, that giving time is necessary to allow things to unfold on their own. The song seems to be about a person who is waiting for someone or something, and who understands that they need to be patient and let things happen at their own pace. They are listening, observing, and waiting for a moment they desire to happen. This moment could be many things, like a meeting with someone they love, a change in their life, or anything they are hoping for. The chorus, "when you wake up, when you wake up, you will find me," suggests that the person singing is there waiting for them when they are ready to face the moment they desire. The song ultimately closes with the repetition of this line, offering a sense of reassurance and comfort. Overall, the song seems to express a mood of calm contemplation and patient waiting, with the promise of eventual fulfillment.
