Let's Stay In
Fling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tree of green dressed in violet sky's
Fallen leaf, shadow of time
Touch the stone, drink the wine
Can't stop the rain from falling down.

We used to live without a future
Now my present state is useless
I'm folding up now
I'm falling down
I'm folding up now
I don't know what I want?

Let's stay in, let's stay out
Upside in inside down
Down above up below
Let's go fast let's go slow.
Let's stay in, let's stay out
Upside in inside down




Down above up below
Let's go fast let's go slow.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fling's song "Let's Stay In" convey a sense of introspection and uncertainty. The imagery of the "tree of green dressed in violet sky's" and the "fallen leaf, shadow of time" suggests a contemplation of the passing of time and the ephemeral nature of life. The line "touch the stone, drink the wine" could be seen as an invitation to embrace both the solidity and pleasures of existence.


The repeated phrase "let's stay in, let's stay out" captures a feeling of indecisiveness and a struggle to find a sense of direction. The line "we used to live without a future, now my present state is useless" hints at a loss of purpose or direction, perhaps due to the uncertainty of the future. The repetition of "I'm folding up now, I'm falling down" emphasizes a metaphorical internal collapse or crumbling.
