The song "Still Life" by RM (feat. Anderson .Paak) is about embracing life and its constant changes. RM describes himself as a "still life," referring to a type of art where the subject is mostly still and static, but he still keeps moving forward in life. He emphasizes the importance of living in the present and not getting trapped in the past or worrying about the future. RM urges to break free from societal norms and expectations that have been imposed upon us.
Anderson .Paak supports the message as he sings about not being locked in a frame but rather moving and living life to the fullest. The chorus "life is better than death, I'll prove it" highlights the significance of making the most out of life. The post-chorus repeats the idea of being a "still life" but keeps moving, comparing it to growing flowers, representing positive change and growth.
RM also addresses the struggles he has faced in life through lyrics such as "걔네 조롱은 듣지 마 니 귀 버려," which means "don't listen to their ridicule, just cover your ears." The verse emphasizes not giving in to external pressure and staying true to oneself.
