STAY AWAY
L’Arc〜en〜Ciel Lyrics

In L’Arc〜en〜Ciel's song STAY AWAY, the lyrics speak of the importance of personal freedom and happiness, while acknowledging the sometimes harsh realities of the world we live in. The opening lines describe the feeling of being free on a vast open plain, indicating a sense of liberation and possibility. The singer then expresses gratitude for their good fortune, acknowledging that they are lucky to have this freedom.

The second verse references the difficulties of navigating a world that can be hostile, and the need to find one's own path. The lines "Karamitsuku sekai ni wa unzara nano sa/Kagefumi shitenaide/Saa trying trying in yourself" encourage the listener to keep trying to find their way, even when it seems impossible.

The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "Causes stain stay away," is a warning to avoid anyone or anything that will bring negativity into one's life. The phrase "Right away on!
