Stay Close
Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lets lie down low, lie down low
Let your fingers curl
Through mine, through mine
(let your fingers curl, through mine all the time)
Those sirens in the night, in the night, in the night
Let's light the zombies outside, outside, outside
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Don't go nowhere
Let's lie down low
Let's be forgotten
Stay, stay, yeah stay
Move close to me
Let your eyelids find each other
Stay close to me
Let me soothe you
Stay (don't speak)
We got all the time, unwind
Let your blood find your veins
Let your fingers curl, curl, curl
(You can trust me, you can trust me)
Find that something else that they can not reach
Stay close to me
Don't go nowhere
Stay close to me
Don't go nowhere
Just for tonight
Stay close to me, oh
Stay close to me
Don't go nowhere
The lyrics to Basement Jaxx's song Stay Close are a plea to stay close and be present in the moment. The opening lines, "Pull back the chairs, let's lie down low," suggest a desire to retreat from the chaos outside and find a sense of peace and safety with another person. The repetition of "stay close to me" throughout the song reinforces this desire for connection and the fear of being alone.
The mention of sirens in the night and zombies outside suggests an apocalyptic or violent scenario outside, which only heightens the desire for closeness and safety. The line "let your blood find your veins" could be interpreted as a reminder to focus on the present moment and find a sense of grounding.
Overall, the lyrics to Stay Close convey a sense of vulnerability and a desire for human connection and comfort in the face of uncertainty and fear.

Pull back the chairs
Let's get comfortable
Lets lie down low, lie down low
Let's relax and take it easy
Let your fingers curl
Hold my hand and don't let go
Through mine, through mine
Keep holding my hand tightly
Those sirens in the night, in the night, in the night
Ignore the chaos and noise outside
Sirens in the night, in the night, in the night
The world can be noisy and distracting
Let's light the zombies outside, outside, outside
Let's forget the outside world and just be together
Stay close to me
Don't go anywhere, stay with me
Stay close to me
Stay close and don't leave my side
Don't go nowhere
Stay right here with me
Let's lie down low
Let's relax and take it easy
Let's be forgotten
Let's forget about everything else
Stay, stay, yeah stay
Stay right here with me, and never leave
Move close to me
Come even closer to me
Let your eyelids find each other
Relax and close your eyes
Stay close to me
Stay close and don't leave my side
Let me soothe you
Let me calm you down and make you feel better
Stay (don't speak)
Just be with me and don't say anything
We got all the time, unwind
There's no rush, let's just relax and take our time
Let your blood find your veins
Let yourself relax and feel at ease
Let your fingers curl, curl, curl
Keep holding my hand tightly, don't let go
(You can trust me, you can trust me)
You can rely on me, I'll always be here for you
Find that something else that they can not reach
Find a sense of peace and happiness that nobody else can disrupt

Don't go anywhere, stay with me
Don't go nowhere
Stay right here with me
Stay close to me
Stay close and don't leave my side
Don't go nowhere
Stay right here with me
Just for tonight
Let's forget about everything else and just be together tonight
Stay close to me, oh
Stay close and don't leave my side
