Stay Away
Ektomorf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's all because of you so thanks for that
yesterday night I saw your real face
yeah you got the right to leave
and its better that way
so fuck you go away
never come back again
stay away
you have your way
to fuck me up
you drive me insane
you make me numb
I can't do anything
what the fuck do you want
I changed my whole life
but it wasn't enough
so fuck you go away
never come back again
I don't wanna see your face
stay away
love and hate you know
I feel both for you
this was your chance
but you missed it so fuck you
that was it now it's really the end
it's hard to believe but there is nothing left
I can't live anymore in this fucked up shit
no love, no hate, no fucking regret
so fuck you go away
never come back again
I don't wanna see your face
stay away
The lyrics of Ektomorf's song Stay Away are very straightforward and deal with the subject of a bitter break up. The song starts off with the singer waking up feeling terrible because of the person he's addressing in the song. He saw their "real face" the night before and it seems to have been the final straw. He acknowledges that this person has the right to leave and it's better that way. He then tells them to "fuck off and go away" and never come back, expressing how much he doesn't want to see their face.
The second verse delves more into the feelings that the singer has been experiencing since the break up. The other person has been able to "fuck him up" and drive him insane, making him numb to everything around him. He's tried to change his life to make things work with them but it was to no avail. He then repeats the chorus and adds a line about feeling both love and hate for the other person, but since they missed their chance, they can go away.
The final verse is the resolution of the singer's feelings towards the other person. He acknowledges that it's really the end and there's nothing left between them. He can't continue living in such a terrible situation with no love, no hate and no regret. The song ends with the final chorus and the same message, stay away.
Overall, Stay Away is a song about the bitterness of a break up and how sometimes it's better to just let someone go.
