Stay Away
Bunny Knutson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Monkey see, monkey do
(I don't know why)
I'd rather be deal than cool
(I don't know why)
Every line ends in rhyme
(I don't know why)
Less is more, love is blind
(I don't know why)

Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away

Give an inch, take a smile
(I don't know why)
Fashion shits, fashion stile
(I don't know why)
Throw it out and keep it in
(I don't know why)
Have to have poison skin
(I don't know why)

Stay
Stay away
Stay away

I don't know why
I don't know why

Monkey See, monkey do
CI don't know why)
I'd rather be deal than cool

Every line ends in rhyme

The line "I'd rather be real than cool" could be interpreted as a rejection of the pressure to fit in and conform to societal expectations of what is considered popular or trendy.


The repeated phrase "Stay away" could be seen as a warning to others not to get caught up in the same behaviors and attitudes that the singer is criticizing. The lyrics "Every line ends in rhyme" and "Less is more, love is blind" could be interpreted as a critique of music and art that values style and appearance over substance and meaning.


Overall, the song Stay Away seems to be a call to reject conformity and embrace individuality and genuine human connection.
