Stay Forever
Delain Marco Hietala Lyrics

The song "Stay Forever" by Delain Marco Hietala, captures the feelings of someone in a troubled relationship hoping for their loved one to stay, despite the seemingly insurmountable problems that exist between them. The opening lines "silence in the living room, hours feel like days" paint a picture of a strained yet silent space, where time seems to crawl by. The singer is desperately trying to communicate their thoughts to their partner, but it seems as though they are miles away. The lines "crying for real, yes you're worth the prize" suggest an emotional investment in the relationship, as if the singer is hoping to convince their partner that the struggles are worthwhile.

The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "stay forever, it's never again," creates a sense of urgency and desperation. The repetitive nature of these lines conveys the idea that the singer knows that their time is running out, that this is their last chance to salvage the relationship. The last verse, which states "this empty house is not a home, find the will to stand alone," suggests a resignation to the fact that the relationship has reached its end. The line "flesh and blood have turned to stone" communicates the idea that the emotional connection between the two has died.
