Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still and know
And colors you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still and know
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know I am
I think this song has religious meaning to it. The Fray's band members are christians.
"When darkness comes upon you and colors you with fear and shame Be still and know that I am with you And I will say your name." - Darkness is things like fear and shame in the bible. God tells us not to worry though because he is always with us. He knows our name, he knows every cell of our bodies. Be still meaning be calm or be okay because I am with you.
"If terror falls upon your bed And sleep no longer comes Remember all the words I said Be still, be still, and know." - Terror is just more darkness. Hard times. Remember the words that God has said. He will always be with you.
"And when you go through the valley and the shadow comes down from the hill If morning never comes to be Be still, be still, be still" - Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
"If you forget the way to go And lose where you came from If no one is standing beside you Be still and know I am" God will never leave us nor forsake us even when we feel like there is nobody else. He is always there to guide and comfort us.
Even though I think the same thing, I still love how you put this! This is one of my favorite songs!!!

I really like this song, it's really nice to hear a song like this that doesn't need to have a huge build up or go for five minutes, it's just calm and gets the point across. I feel like it may be about death, and not being afraid of it. "If morning never comes to be, be still, be still, be still"
First heard this on The Vampire Diaries during a death scene, that may contribute to my feeling towards it.
I think this song is from God's point of view, talking to us, letting us know there is there and we don't have anything to worry about. The title is most likely inspired by Psalm 46:10 (NIV) "Be still, and know that I am God."
I really like they were subtle about it, and don't beat the religious overtones over your head. It's very classy writing.
Best line in my opinion: If no one is standing beside you Be still and know I am
I also feel the same way about it!!! I love the calm feeling from this, and if a non believer is listening to it, they can also interpret it different. But I strongly feel for us Christians it is to us, from God and/or Jesus! I listen to it, after work, or after school in my car, I picture Jesus sitting in the passenger seat. I also love the line that you think is the best! The whole song is just very powerful! I love it so much, and it is pretty simple!!!

I think that this song is about how a guy comforts a girl who's really sad and hurting.. He promises that he will be there for her no matter what and when the whole world collapses around her, he will be there to pick her up and say "don't worry. All will be well". He tells her to "be still" without panicking and be calm. He deeply cares for her and loves her endlessly and promises to stand by her no matter what. :)
a really beautiful song. seriously words cant describe how much impact this song has
My opinion of this song, is pure peace. I think it is a biblical reference to God's word's saying, "Be still and know that I am God." It gives me piece of mind that no matter how hard something in life is, I know to just take a deep breathe and know that God is with me.
I totally agree with you!!! This song is just purely beautiful!!! And I am learning how to be still always!

A simple song, exudes peace and calm. The kind of song that makes one sleep at night. Comforting. Beautiful. :)
I believe it has religious meaning as well, that God is telling us no matter how hard things get he's always beside us, & that no matter what we're never truly alone. I listened to this song on repeat for weeks as I sat in hospice with my aunt as she slowly faded away, & for quite some time after she passed away. I would cry my eyes out missing her & this song helped me get through a very rough time. the words are so beautiful, & the music goes along so well with his voice, it always gave me such peace of mind. I really don't think anyone could've done this song as good as they did.
I do not believe this song is about God (probably because I am an atheist). To me, this song is about death of a loved one who wants to remind you that they are by yours side even though their presence is not physical. On the other hand, this song could be about not necessarily losing someone through death, but about being far away from someone you love and miss for a long period of time.
This song brings me to tears almost every time I listen to it. It is beautiful and comforting and the lyrics are just incredible. This song is so calming. It's like a gentle reminder that the ones we love are with us in our hearts all the time, even though they may not be there with us physically. The Fray is saying that when you feel completely alone in times of difficulty and during times where you just feel like giving up, you need to remember that you have someone standing by you who loves and supports you. If you think of them, then everything will be alright and you will be able to get through that moment.
@sapphire14 I felt the same as you. It was on Greys this week. seems to fit better.
