What does still life mean? This comes from the song Still life by RM of BTS, talking of which he stated that as a non-native English speaker he interpreted it as life still going on even when it feels still like a painting on a canvas. Ironically, Still Life refers to the painting of inanimate objects completely opposite of what he interpreted. I think it could also mean those pictures we click to embrace those moments in our lives we want to remember forever, as the title suggests.
