STAY?
Luke Royalty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I be your lost boy?
I need to find,
Something I can throw my smoke up at and call it mine
I can give you that, if you’re hearing that
Wait, is there anybody listening to the sunshine?
Apologies pretty soon see youll how carried away,
I can get check my pockets ‘cos I’m searching for change
Tryna mellow out every single time that you say
Are you swinging my way?
‘Cos I’m On top of it all tryna spin it
Losing myself for a minute
I dont need ya help, caught up in it I know,
Nothing will ever stay gold
On top of it all tryna spin it
Losing myself for a minute
I dont need ya help, caught up in it I know,
Nothing will ever stay gold
Nothing will ever stay gold
Nothing will ever stay gold
Think i prefer it here
Just stuck in my own world
Though I’m waiting for the pain to appear
You see its shining like its a gold cos I’m (yeah)
Planning out the future baby it so beautiful
Tell me how it suits ya maybe we can do it all
Don't take it so literal, yeah though I see your love in me this probably the pinnacle




Cos it’s all downhill from here,
My taxis outside someone tell them that I'm here,

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics to Luke Royalty's song "Stay Gold," the singer is expressing a desire to find a sense of belonging and ownership in their life. The opening lines, "Can I be your lost boy? I need to find, Something I can throw my smoke up at and call it mine," suggest a longing for connection and identity. The singer is seeking validation and a place where they can feel secure and accepted. The imagery of throwing smoke up and calling it "mine" conveys a sense of searching for something to claim as their own.


As the lyrics progress, the singer questions if anyone is truly paying attention to the beauty and positivity around them, as they ask, "Wait, is there anybody listening to the sunshine?" This may hint at a feeling of being overlooked or ignored, despite their efforts to find and embrace the good things in life. The mention of apologizing soon and getting carried away suggests a recognition of past mistakes and a tendency to lose themselves in the moment, perhaps as a coping mechanism for dealing with challenges or uncertainties.


The repeated refrain of "On top of it all tryna spin it, Losing myself for a minute, I dont need ya help, caught up in it I know, Nothing will ever stay gold" reflects a struggle with maintaining positivity and stability in the face of obstacles. The singer acknowledges that despite their efforts to stay positive and hopeful, they are aware that nothing lasts forever and that the fleeting nature of life can make it difficult to hold onto moments of happiness and contentment.


In the final verses, the singer reflects on being content in their own world but also hints at a sense of impending pain or difficulty. The lyrics "Think i prefer it here, Just stuck in my own world, Though I’m waiting for the pain to appear" suggest a bittersweet acceptance of their current circumstances, knowing that challenges and heartache may lie ahead. The mention of "Nothing will ever stay gold" emphasizes the impermanence of happiness and success, reinforcing the idea that life is constantly evolving and changing. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a complex mix of longing, acceptance, and introspection as the singer navigates the ups and downs of their journey.
