I Will Still Love You

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

You know I'll still be there

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


Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stonebolt's song "I Will Still Love You" tell the story of unconditional love. The singer of the song is addressing someone who has left a trail of broken hearts in their wake. The first verse paints a picture of someone who is careless with other people's emotions, casually hurting and deceiving them without a second thought. Despite this, the singer promises to still be there for this person, no matter what they do. The second verse takes a more apocalyptic tone, imagining a world where everything has fallen apart and the only constant is the love the singer holds. The refrain repeats the message that no matter what happens, the singer will still love the other person.


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 verses juxtapose different scenarios, from the mundane to the catastrophic, to drive home the point that their love will endure no matter what. 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.
