Stay
Yearning Echoes: Beth De Bacci's 'Stay' Unveils the Heart's Longing
Lyrics
Trying to centre myself
Attempting to find balance within myself.
Trying to stop me going off track
Struggling to prevent myself from deviating from the right path.
It's been a while since I felt
It's been a while since I experienced certain emotions.
Feelings that make me wanna go back
Feeling emotions that tempt me to revert to the past.
To the way I was before I started keeping score
Reflecting on life before keeping track of achievements or failures.
But nothing will change the way I feel
Despite efforts, my emotions remain unchanged.
Nothing can make it go away
No external factor can erase these emotions.
If there was something I could give
If there was a solution, I would offer it.
I'd tell you I could
Expressing a willingness to help, if possible.
Stay
Desire for someone to stay.
How much I want to stay
Emphasizing the intensity of the desire to stay.
Wishing that I could get close
Longing to get close to someone.
Wanting to know how it would feel
Curiosity about the emotions associated with closeness.
If you bought me a blood red rose
Imagining a symbolic gesture (blood red rose) that suggests potential for a real connection.
That said that we could be real
Expressing hope for a genuine relationship.
In a way once I've figured out the part of me I hate
Recognition of a negative aspect within oneself that needs understanding.
But nothing will change the way I feel
Despite self-reflection, emotions remain unchanged.
Nothing can make it go away
Unyielding emotions that cannot be erased.
If there was something I could give
If there was a solution, I would offer it.
I'd tell you I could
Expressing a willingness to help, if possible.
Stay
Desire for someone to stay.
How much I want to stay
Emphasizing the intensity of the desire to stay.
But it's too late
Regret over the timing, suggesting it's too late.
In another life
Reflecting on an alternate scenario or possibility.
You could be everything I need
Imagining the person as an ideal partner.
To realise
Realization that one doesn't have to be alone.
I don't have to be alone
Acceptance of the potential for companionship.
Mmmm
Musical interlude or vocal expression.
Nothing will change the way I feel
Emphasizing the unchanging nature of emotions.
Nothing can make it go away
Confirmation that external factors cannot erase emotions.
If there was something I could give
If there was a solution, I would offer it.
I'd tell you I could
Expressing a willingness to help, if possible.
Stay
Desire for someone to stay.
How much I want to stay
Emphasizing the intensity of the desire to stay.
