Stay Loose
Broncho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was the first penitentiary
That I'd ever seen
I used to come just to make it okay
And when the back biting babies tried to tell me plans
I always knew just how much to erase

I've got the kind of plans I'm thinking gonna get me home
And promise things just before I'm awake
She make me add that stupid shit I never do
I used to come just to make it okay

We were a memory
We were a meant to be
Look in love
And STAY LOOSE

Your karma, oh it's been so good to me
You're wasting time has really got me thinking
That you're the other unfortunate one


You got a kamikaze baby on the side of the boat
You check your cash cause I'm gonna get paid
You got your coolin iron body I always do what I'm told
You through your line just to make me obey

Your karma, oh it's been so good to me
You're wasting time has really got me thinking
That you're the other unfortunate one

We've got a memory
We've got a meant to be
Look in love
And STAY LOOSE

You fought for figures, now it's been so good to me
You got me thinking, what you got me thinking of
That you're the other, the unfortunate one

(x3)
She was the first penitentiary




That I'd ever seen
That I'd ever seen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Broncho's song "Stay Loose" are intriguing and slightly cryptic, leaving room for personal interpretation. The song is riddled with snapshots of memories and musings, sewn together with a melody that sounds like an ode to bygone days. The opening line sets the stage for the somber yet nostalgic tone of the song, as the singer looks back at his past experiences in what he calls "the first penitentiary." It’s unclear what this penitentiary could be, but it seems to be a place where he found solace.


As the song progresses, the singer reflects on different aspects of his life, from plans that might get him "home" to "back biting babies." He uses language such as "just to make it okay" repeatedly, implying that he's trying to make up for something or fix something. The lyrics are awash with a sense of melancholic reflection, with the singer fighting between the past and the present.


In the chorus, the lyrics take on a more hopeful tone, with the singer remembering a love that was meant to be. He implores himself to "stay loose" and to let the past be. The lyrics also touch upon the concept of karma, with the singer seemingly grateful for the good karma he has experienced.


In many ways, "Stay Loose" is a song about the passage of time and the fleeting nature of memories. The singer is trying to hold onto something, but it feels like it's always just out of reach. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has struggled but is ultimately finding his way back to a place of love and hope.


Line by Line Meaning

She was the first penitentiary
She was the first woman I felt trapped by


That I'd ever seen
That I was ever exposed to


I used to come just to make it okay
I would visit her just to feel better


And when the back biting babies tried to tell me plans
When my enemies tried to give me advice


I always knew just how much to erase
I always knew what to ignore


I've got the kind of plans I'm thinking gonna get me home
I have plans that I believe will bring me success


And promise things just before I'm awake
I make empty promises to myself


She make me add that stupid shit I never do
She makes me do things I hate doing


We were a memory
We had a past together


We were a meant to be
We were destined to be together


Look in love
We were in love


And STAY LOOSE
And keep things easy


Your karma, oh it's been so good to me
Your past actions have benefited me


You're wasting time has really got me thinking
Your procrastination has made me wonder


That you're the other unfortunate one
That you're unlucky or unwise


You got a kamikaze baby on the side of the boat
You have a reckless partner who may cause danger


You check your cash cause I'm gonna get paid
You're worried about money because I'm about to make money


You got your coolin iron body I always do what I'm told
You have a rigid, unemotional personality and always follow orders


You through your line just to make me obey
You give orders just to control me


You fought for figures, now it's been so good to me
You struggled for success and I am benefiting from it


You got me thinking, what you got me thinking of
You made me think but I don't know what


That you're the other, the unfortunate one
That you're unlucky or unwise


She was the first penitentiary
She was the first woman I felt trapped by


That I'd ever seen
That I was ever exposed to
