Ida Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knew where to get them
Brought a lady friend, and I believe her name was Stella, and he said
Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world, if just stay with me tonight
Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world, if you just hold me tight
And I wonder how it will go
A forty three year old hooker from downtown
Maybe it's about time the old man hands over the crown
Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just stay with me tonight
Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just hold me tight,
Hold me tight, hold me tight, hold me tight
And it made me realize, how much you wanna give away just to feel loved
And the Lord blinked to me and asked:
What is real love to you? What is fake and what is true?
[Repeat x4]
Oh, Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just stay with me tonight
Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just hold me tight
The lyrics to Ida Maria's song "Stella" describe a situation where "God" (presumably a drug dealer or someone involved in the underground world) shows up with a woman, Stella, whom he wants to give the world. The lyrics seem to suggest that this woman is a prostitute, as she is referred to as a "forty-three year old hooker from downtown." The singer wonders about what will happen when God hands over the whole world to someone like Stella, and reflects on how people are willing to give so much away just to feel loved.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just stay with me tonight," reveals the desperation and longing for connection that the singer feels. There is a sense of urgency and neediness that pervades the song, as the singer seems to be searching for something that they cannot find. The final lines of the song, where the Lord asks what is real love and what is false, suggest that the singer is struggling with questions of authenticity and meaning in their relationships.
Overall, the lyrics to "Stella" are dark and introspective, exploring themes of love, loneliness, and the human desire for connection. The song is a haunting reflection on the emptiness of modern life and the ways in which people struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving.
