- Still Life LyricsTake a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They where there oh I know you don't believe me
Oh... I never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh... they drain my strength away
Oh... they're asking me to stay
Nightmares... spirits calling me
Nightmares... they won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... begin to see them clear
Nightmares... coming all in time
Nightmares... will give me piece of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh... we'll drown together
It... will be forever
Nightmares... forever calling me
Nightmares... now we rest in peace
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They where there oh I know you don't believe me
Oh... I never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh... they drain my strength away
Oh... they're asking me to stay
Nightmares... spirits calling me
Nightmares... they won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... begin to see them clear
Nightmares... coming all in time
Nightmares... will give me piece of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh... we'll drown together
It... will be forever
Nightmares... forever calling me
Nightmares... now we rest in peace

When we interpret the meaning being expressed, in Iron Maiden's song 'Still Life', the artist exposes the matter of inevitable nightmares and the willingness to face them together, through the pool as a symbol for the subliminal and the dark recesses of the mind. Mostly, still life lyrics highlight angst, despair, self-examination, love loss, and serenity. Simultaneously, the tune underscores the factors like the supernatural, the madness, love that kills, the morality of death, and the shared destiny. The words bring up the themes of evil dreams, ghosts and a dark future, which could be quite disturbing for kids. Besides, the idea of going down with each other adds a somewhat more intense aspect that hints at the more grown-up one. All these points, alongside the general dark and eerie atmosphere, legitimize a PG-13 rating to draw parents' attention to the content.
