Lyrics

2. STAY AWAY

STAY AWAY

You got a shake in your step

You have a confident, purposeful walk

I'm standing here like a rock

I am steadfast, unmoving

Made out of muscle so big

Strong and muscular

Make the world shout out

Impressive, making an impact

I draw the line in the sand

I establish clear boundaries

I'm not bitch that you hoped

I am not a submissive person

Like any film where the girl and monster play

Reference to a film where a girl and a monster interact

Set in LA

The setting is Los Angeles


Getting tired of dragging down this crumbling road You're the kind that never learns

Expressing frustration with the difficulties of a challenging path; addressing someone who doesn't learn from mistakes

Maybe now you'll finally stay away

Hope that the person causing problems will finally stay away

Stay away

Reiteration of the desire for the person to stay away

Just stay

Emphasizing the plea to stay away

Away

Repetition for emphasis: Stay away

Stay away

Reiteration of the plea to stay away

Just stay

Emphasizing once again: Just stay

Away

Repetition for emphasis: Away


I got a taste of success

Experiencing a taste of success

You taste the blood in your mouth

Feeling the consequences, possibly of a fight, symbolized by tasting blood

Like getting punched in the face

Describing a physical altercation, a punch to the face

And your teeth knocked out

Experiencing consequences, losing something important

You draw the rope to a noose

Creating a metaphorical noose, possibly a self-destructive situation

It's not as tight as you hoped

Not as constricting as expected, perhaps not as dire as perceived

Like any film where the girl and monster play

Reference again to a film scenario with a girl and a monster

Except it's today

Emphasizing that this scenario is happening in the present


Just stay away

Reiterating the plea for the person to stay away
