Stay Up
Belmont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I buried myself too deep within
The clock moves faster (its always after)
That I can find some common ground with my severed ties
But here I am a broken shell of everything I said I wasn't but turned into in the end,
A selfish friend, too busy taking time for only me a thoughtless trap That's locked inside my head
Because I've got to stop and take my time to let space breath and blossom growth.
I should've known, that I'm breaking my back just to carry this weight alone
Cut to the bone, too busy losing my mind over thoughts of never finding home
Stay up Stay up
Pretend like I never meant to fall this low
Wait up wait up
Descend like we're living in an afterglow
Take a look around at what's inside, before I tear it down in oversight
I'll Pace around my head these thoughts confined, to a bitter place I can't describe

There is just something about adding double bass into pop punk that makes me so happy. Another great song from a really underrated band. Can’t wait for them to blow up 🙏🏻

@chrisbrown2838
LukasW I wouldn’t really consider this easy-core, I feel like it needs more than one breakdown and needs to be a little heavier 😂 but I feel you.
@jahstandedios7

@Jake_Powd
I agree! It makes the pop-punk more funky and more bouncy!
