Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She is my redeemer
The architect of my dreams
She'll stay with me forever
The mention of her name
Goes through me like a spear
The mention of her name
And I will surrender
There's no need to hide it
There's no need to doubt it
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Your voice in the morning
Makes everything clearer
All my doubts are gone
And pain I can't remember
Deity incarnate, celestial redeemer
To me your name is sacred
To you I will surrender
There's no need to fight it
There's no need to hide it
There's no need to doubt it
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Pure, complete, unbounded
Absolute and overpowered
Perfect and transcending
For once for all and forever
She is my Christ
She is my redeemer
The architect of my dreams
She'll stay with me forever
Love that won't die
She is revolution
Tender sweet godsend
I'm granted absolution
There's no need to fight it
There's no need to hide it
There's no need to doubt it
Stay in love forever
The opening verse of Ash's song Stay in Love Forever speaks of a person who the singer perceives as his savior, or in religious terms, his Christ and redeemer. The person is described as the architect of his dreams, that completes and fulfills him. The mere mention of this person's name invokes strong emotions in the singer, he feels pierced by their words and is willing to submit to them. The chorus of the song emphasizes that the love between the two individuals should be held onto forever and that there is no need to hide it, fight it or doubt it.
The second verse of the song has a similar theme but talks about the positive impact the person has on the singer's life. The person's voice in the morning removes all doubts and pains, and they are described as a deity incarnate, celestial redeemer, and sacred to the singer. The chorus repeats again, and towards the end of the song, there is a bridge that elevates the person's qualities to pure, complete, unbounded, absolute, and perfect.
The lyrics of Ash's Stay in Love Forever may be interpreted as an ode to a person who the singer deeply loves, reveres and sees as the solution to any and all problems they may have. The lyrics are very poetic and metaphorical, and the person referred to may be a real person or a representation of an ideal love that the singer has. The song has a very positive and uplifting message about the power of love and its ability to transform and inspire people.
