“Still,” the closing track of Soccer Mommy’s Sometimes, Forever, encapsulates the raw emotional intensity and introspection that defines the album. Allison’s production insights reveal a deliberate effort to infuse the song with ambient textures, adding depth to its stripped-back composition.
Lyric...
[Verse 1]
I don't know how to feel things small
It's a tidal wave or nothing at all
I can't believe in Heaven now
It's been Hell on Earth for a second
Okay, you win, I'll end my life
Drive to the bridge just to overthink it
I never jump, it's a crutch of mine
Drive to the bridge just to stand there thinkin'

'Cause I lost myself to a dream I had
And I'd never give it all away
But I miss feelin' like a person
'Cause I read the things people have to say
They make me feel like I'm not a person
White little pills take it all away
Drive to the bridge just to stop the thinkin'
[Refrain]
And I can't stand still
[Verse 3]
Keep thinkin' 'bout how to fix my life
I think that "when?" is the bigger question
'Cause I don't know how I’ll feel tonight
Might make an impulsive decision
I'll cut a piece out of my thigh
I felt my heart go skydiving
You got me high for a little while
I still don't know what I was thinkin'
[Refrain]
But I did it still
Yeah, I did it still

That’s the closer.” I like ending things on a grim, beautiful note, but I didn’t know what the record was gonna sound like or what direction it would go. When I wrote the song, I was in turmoil. Li...
