Stay Here
My Brothers And I Lyrics

The lyrics to My Brothers and I's song "Stay Here" appear to be about unrequited love, or at least a one-sided attraction. The singer is pleading for the person they are interested in to stay with them, even if they do not reciprocate the singer's feelings. The opening line, "Turn me all the night," suggests physical intimacy but the following line, "I'm not the one who pay you when you going," implies that there is a monetary transaction happening between the two, suggesting that perhaps the singer is a sex worker.

The next lines, "Maybe like the way you drawn, I'm over here for your lonely," further cement the idea that the singer is being used for company, but not for anything more meaningful. The singer then declares, "Everyone leaves but not me, but not all the one, sad," indicating that they are willing to stay with this person even when others have left. The line "But not all the one" is a bit confusing but may be a reference to the fact that the singer is not the only one who is interested in this person, but they are the only one who sticks around.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Everyone shake hands all the night," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for superficial social interactions or even physical intimacy without emotional connection. The line "And everyone shake hands but they die...pain" suggests that these interactions are ultimately unsatisfying and potentially even harmful. The singer then pleads, "But the only way the truth behind, don't you know thing, I'm not leaving, but don't break my heart, and all of you, I'm only like Phoenix." The use of the word "Phoenix" here is interesting, as it is a mythological creature that is reborn from the ashes of its own destruction, potentially suggesting the singer's desire to rise above their heartbreak and start anew.
