Stay Tuned
Anja Garbarek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in noise
Somewhere
Somewhere
In between
Got no choice
But to be here
Somewhere
If you can hear me
If you're still there
Stay tuned
There is more to come
Oh
Don't start searching
I'll get back
To you
Riding waves
Trying to reach
Somewhere
Somewhere
Cannot share
This moment with you
I'm particles in the air
You can't see me
But i'm here
So if you can hear me
If you're still there
Stay tuned
There is more to come
Oh
Don't start searching
Stay tuned
There is more to come
Oh
Don't start searching
I'll get back to you
I'll get back to you
I'll get back to you
The song "Stay Tuned" by Anja Garbarek is a reflection on feeling lost and disconnected from someone or something important. The first verse sets the scene of being lost in the noise or in-between spaces, with no real control over the situation. The chorus speaks to a distant or absent listener, asking them to stay tuned and promising to return with more. The second verse continues this theme and highlights the inability to share the current experience with this person, but still emphasizes their presence.
The lyrics can be interpreted in a variety of ways depending on individual experiences, but the song seems to capture the feeling of longing for connection or communication that is just out of reach. The repetition of "somewhere" and "stay tuned" adds to this sense of being lost in a limbo or searching for something concrete.
Overall, the lyrics in "Stay Tuned" are cryptic enough to allow for multiple meanings and interpretations, but they also capture the mood of someone trying to communicate across a divide.
