I Will Stay
Flux Pavilion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, what a thing to say
To show me all those wounds you made
Oh, what a thing to say
A handshake with a hand grenade

It's all brand new
To take me on a journey through
Go round and round my head with you
Go round and round my head with you
I sail on silence

There's nothing here, now move along
There's nothing here, now move along
To silent songs, we sing along
To silent songs, we sing along
There's nothing here, now move along
There's nothing here, now move along

Who knows where we are?
Who knows where we are?

I will stay
I will stay
I will stay

Who knows where we are?
Who knows where we are?

I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay

I'll see this through
I'm reaching out my hand to you
Go round and round the bend with you
Go standing on the edge with you
We'll sail on silence

There's nothing here, now move along
There's nothing here, now move along
To silent songs, we sing along
To silent songs, we sing along
There's nothing here, now move along
There's nothing here, now move along
There's nothing here, now move along

(Who knows where we are?
Who knows where we are?)

I will stay
I will stay
I will stay

I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay




I will stay
I will stay

This song gives me an incredible feel of freedom and space. It is as if you’re floating in a big space but ure going for a direction or a goal and you’ll eventually reach it.
