Уйди но останься
Cream Soda Lyrics

The lyrics to Cream Soda's song "Уйди но останься" (translated to "Leave, but Stay") convey feelings of confusion, longing, and a desire for someone to stay despite the difficulties. The opening lines paint a picture of a distant road, symbolizing a metaphorical journey or separation. It suggests that losing someone and not being able to find them is as easy as losing oneself on a path. The reference to "thorny flowers" represents the difficulty in finding the right words or expressing oneself, much like trying to touch water slipping through one's fingers. The singer acknowledges their own powerlessness to make the other person stay, admitting that they no longer have the strength to hold them back.

The chorus repeats the plea for the person to leave but stay, emphasizing the contradiction and inner conflict within the singer. They admit that their mind is filled with thoughts of the person, providing ample space to get lost in, and their heart is overflowing with feelings for them. The repetition further accentuates the internal struggle and longing for this person who is simultaneously desired to leave and stay.

The second verse adds more layers to the emotions expressed. The reference to streetlights suggests a nocturnal setting where it's difficult to find purpose in staying. The mention of the lights lasting until morning implies a sense of transience and the fading of their connection. The singer laments that finding the person again is as elusive as finding thorny flowers and speaks of words spoken passionately, yet carried away by the wind.
