Stay Away
Netsiah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear the voices Inside my mind
They, regard around
They watching us
In timing down
Please, take me on
The heart is cold
Please let me know When you be here
To take my soul
'Cause I have, keep going
Take me home
I safe and sound
I don't hear voices
Except yours now
We take pictures
We take them toys
The toys as match
As we our part
Please take me on
The heart is cold
And mine is old
Please, let me know
When you'll be here
To take my soul
'Cause, I
Take me on
Take me on
Take me on
Take me on
The lyrics of Netsiah's song "Stay Away" describe the inner turmoil and confusion experienced by the singer. In the opening lines, the singer reflects on their state of mind, with "safe and sound" perhaps describing the singer's outer appearance while the "voices inside my mind" suggest an inner turmoil that is not visible to others. The next line, "they regard around, they watching us" refers to the constant feeling of being watched or judged, creating a sense of paranoia and anxiety.
The next stanza begins with a plea to be taken in by someone, as the singer's heart is "cold" and "old," which may suggest past heartbreak or trauma. The following line, "please let me know when you be here to take my soul" indicates the singer's desire for someone to rescue them from their pain and bring them comfort. The repetition of "take me on" in the chorus emphasizes this plea for help.
The final stanza describes a happier time, when the singer is "safe and sound" and hears only the voice of the person who has rescued them. They take pictures and toys, enjoying simple pleasures, suggesting that they have found some joy and contentment. Yet the chorus at the end repeats their plea for someone to "take me on," suggesting that the singer is still struggling with their inner turmoil and need for reassurance.
