Stick Around
Unveiling Life's Lessons in "Stick Around" by Nik Kershaw
Lyrics
Drink the good stuff down in one
Encourages consuming alcoholic beverages quickly.
Call for another, have yourself some fun
Invitation to order more drinks and enjoy oneself.
Here's to the good life, drink it down
Celebrating the good life and urging to savor it.
Stick around
Emphasis on staying in the moment and not leaving.
The morning after, playing dead
Reference to the aftermath of a night out, pretending to be asleep.
Don't see the black clouds gather overhead
Ignorance of approaching troubles or challenges.
Consequences raining down
Acknowledging consequences coming down.
Stick around
Reiteration of the importance to stay present.
You might just learn something
Suggesting the possibility of gaining knowledge by staying around.
God only knows what that could be
Highlighting the uncertainty of what could be learned.
Stick around
Reiteration of the importance of not leaving.
You might just learn something
Encouragement to stay for potential learning.
God only knows and he won't say
Humorous reference to the unknown knowledge and its mystery.
The wolf is in your dressing gown
Metaphorical reference to challenges or problems.
He's huffing, puffing,
Describing the wolf as a threatening force.
Blowing your house down
Continuation of the wolf metaphor, causing destruction.
The party's over, the love is gone
Indicating the end of a joyful time and lost love.
Think what to do you better run,
Advising to think and take action when faced with challenges.
Yeah you better run or
Urgent advice to run or escape from difficulties.
Stick around
Reiteration of the importance of staying around.
You might just learn something
Suggesting potential learning from the experience.
God only knows what that could be
Uncertainty about the knowledge one might gain.
Stick around
Encouragement to endure challenges without seeking answers.
You might just learn something
Reiteration of potential learning without clear answers.
God only knows so don't ask me
Emphasizing the mysterious nature of knowledge.
Stick around
Repetition of the importance of staying around.
What doesn't hurt me kills me slow
Reflecting on the slow impact of non-harmful things.
What doesn't scare me is nothing I don't know
Facing and understanding fears is essential knowledge.
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
Strength gained from enduring challenges.
When everything goes bad,
Highlighting the inevitability of facing adversity.
When everything goes wrong
Recognition of challenges and difficulties.
Stick around
Reiteration of potential learning from staying around.
You might just learn something
Uncertainty about the knowledge one might gain.
God only knows what that could be
Emphasizing the mystery of potential knowledge.
Stick around
Encouragement to stay for the possibility of learning.
You might just learn something
Repetition of the idea that God knows what might be learned.
God only knows and he won't say
Humorous reference to the unknown knowledge that even God won't reveal.
