Stay
Chasing Freedom: David Higgins' Melodic Journey of Love and Liberation
Lyrics
Through the haze, dark shapes and hour glasses
Amid confusion and the passage of time, there are unclear shapes and symbols.
Shown a face, blurred lines, the moment passes
A face is revealed, but the significance is hazy, and the moment slips away.
But I've been walking through the foggy fields and flowers blooming
The singer has traversed uncertain and dreamlike landscapes where flowers bloom.
To take a taste of the summer wind as clouds are looming
Seeking a taste of the fleeting joy represented by the summer wind while challenges are imminent.
If I leave today, don't try to find me
If the singer departs today, it's advised not to search, indicating a temporary absence.
I've just stepped away, until I'm lonely
The singer has distanced themselves, anticipating solitude before returning.
I'm a slave to freedom, lost, and running wild, uncontained
Expressing a paradoxical state of being a captive to freedom, lost, and unrestrained.
But you're the one that makes me stay
Despite the conflicting emotions, the attachment to someone specific keeps the singer from leaving.
Turn the page, lost words and photographs
Turning the page symbolizes leaving behind words and memories from a bygone era.
Forgotten age, once loved but seasons pass
An era once cherished, but time has passed, and the affection has diminished.
To say I've changed, is just another empty argument I've made
Claims of personal transformation are empty arguments, an internal struggle to remain unchanged.
To stay the same, but it's just the way we break and rearrange
Desiring constancy, but acknowledging the inevitability of breaking and rearranging.
If I leave today, don't try to find me
A repetition of the earlier sentiment about leaving and not being found immediately.
I've just stepped away, until I'm lonely
The singer has distanced themselves temporarily and will return when loneliness sets in.
I'm a slave to freedom, lost, and running wild, uncontained
Reiterating the internal conflict of being simultaneously lost and uncontained by freedom.
But you're the one that makes me stay
The presence of a specific person is the anchor preventing the singer from leaving.
cs Sunset sleeps across her skin, I forget the state I'm in
The calming influence of a sunset on someone's skin leads to forgetfulness of the singer's current state.
If you give me a normal night, then I'll give you a normal life
A desire for a normal night in exchange for a normal life, emphasizing simplicity.
But we're the same, and there's a soft and quiet voice that begs to
Shared similarities and an inner voice urging the singer to drift away to a different life.
Drift away, to another life that we can always change
The constant possibility of embracing change and moving towards another life.
If I leave today, don't try to find me
Repeating the theme of departure, urging not to seek the singer immediately.
I've just stepped away, until I'm lonely
Reaffirming the temporary withdrawal until loneliness prompts a return.
I'm a slave to freedom, lost, and running wild, uncontained
Restating the paradox of being a slave to freedom, lost, and unrestrained.
You're the one that makes me stay, yeah
Highlighting the specific person as the reason for staying.
You're the one that makes me stay, yeah
Repetition for emphasis: the specific person is the anchor preventing departure.
You're the one that makes me stay
Reiteration of the significant role the specific person plays in the decision to stay.
