Stay
Finding Freedom in Brokenness: "Stay" by Out of the Dust
Lyrics
Suddenly I can see it
Suddenly, a realization or understanding dawns upon the speaker.
Shadowed skies turning clear
The previously obscured or troubled skies are becoming clear.
Lost inside of this moment
Feeling lost but present in the current moment.
All I needed is here
Everything the speaker needed is now present.
All this pain that I carried
The burden of pain the speaker carried is significant.
Weighed me down like a stone
The weight of pain has been oppressive, dragging the speaker down.
You said child let me take it
Someone, possibly a comforting figure, offers to help the speaker carry the pain.
I'm just glad that you're home
The speaker expresses gratitude for being home, indicating a sense of safety or belonging.
This is where you belong
Affirmation that the current situation is the speaker's rightful place.
So swept up and I don't wanna leave
The speaker is deeply immersed and reluctant to leave the current state.
Riding peace like a river where the waters meet
Experiencing tranquility akin to a flowing river where peace prevails.
Cause I've found such beauty in this mystery
Discovering beauty in the mysterious aspects of life.
Where my heart is broken but somehow it's free
The heart is broken but paradoxically feels liberated.
Help me stay
A plea for assistance or support to remain in this positive state.
Help me stay
Reiteration of the plea for help to stay in the current state.
Suddenly I can feel it
A renewed sense of perception or awareness.
Breath returns to my lungs
Breath returning signifies relief or a sense of being alive.
Wrapped inside arms of healing
Being embraced by healing arms, providing comfort and solace.
Anchored deep in your love
Deeply anchored in the love of someone significant.
Fear that held me is fading
Fading fear and breaking free from doubt.
Grip of doubt breaking loose
Belief is finally established.
Finally I believe it
Realization that the source of comfort and belonging has been present all along.
All this time it was you
Acknowledging that it has always been about that particular person.
Always, only, it's you
Reaffirmation that the person referred to is the constant in the speaker's life.
So swept up and I don't wanna leave
Similar to line 10, expressing reluctance to leave the current state.
Riding peace like a river where the waters meet
Reiterating the serene experience by comparing it to a river meeting calm waters.
Cause I've found such beauty in this mystery
Continued appreciation for the beauty found in life's mysteries.
Where my heart is broken but somehow it's free
Reaffirmation of the paradoxical freedom in a broken heart.
Help me stay
Repetition of the plea for assistance in staying in the current positive state.
Help me stay
Continued plea for help to remain in the present moment.
(Don't wanna, don't wanna)
Expressing a strong desire not to leave the current moment.
Don't wanna leave this moment
Emphasizing the reluctance to part with the current experience.
I feel it in my soul
Feeling the depth of the positive experience in the speaker's soul.
(Your love, Your love)
The overwhelming nature of the love experienced.
Your love is overflowing
A plea for the love to continue, never letting go of it.
Don't ever let me go
Requesting to be held by the overflowing love.
So swept up and I don't wanna leave
Restating the reluctance to leave the current state.
Riding peace like a river where the waters meet
Reiterating the peaceful experience likened to a river's meeting point.
Cause I've found such beauty in this mystery
Continued appreciation for the beauty found in life's mysteries.
Where my heart is broken but somehow it's free
Reaffirmation of the paradoxical freedom in a broken heart.
Help me stay
Final plea for assistance or support to remain in the positive state.
Help me stay
Last repetition of the plea for help to stay in the current positive state.
