I Will Still Love You
Stonebolt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Love 'em and leave 'em
Give them the air
Hurt and deceive them
Say you don't care
Break their hearts and let them fall
Like rain on your back stairs
Then call me up tomorrow
When the moon disappears forever
And the sun shines electric blue
And the mountains and trees tumble into the sea
To rest there for eternity
No matter what you do
I will still love you
So if all your bridges go up in flames
And if all your lovers strike you too tame
Or some sad song of love you hear
Can make you call my name
I will be there in a minute
And you know I'll feel the same
When the moon disappears forever
And the sun shines electric blue
And the mountains and trees tumble into the sea
To rest there for eternity
No matter what you do
I will still love you
So the weary traveler
Tired of passing through
Stops to get his bearings
And stays on to wait for you
When the moon disappears forever
And the sun shines electric blue
And the mountains and trees tumble into the sea
To rest there for eternity
No matter what you do
I will still love you
I will still love you

The theme of this song is unconditional love, no matter what the circumstances. The singer promises to always be there for the other person, despite their flaws and mistakes.

The use of the symbol of the moon disappearing forever and the sun shining electric blue, followed by the mountains and trees tumbling into the sea for eternity, is a metaphor for the end of the world – even in the face of the apocalypse, their love will still exist. The song ultimately is a declaration of undying love, a promise to always be there regardless of the situation.
