The lyrics for Shinhwa's "Stay" are about the pain of missing someone who has left, and desperately wanting them to come back. The first stanza describes the feeling of being stuck in place, unable to move forward or forget about the person. The singer wants the other person to just leave and stop tormenting them. But at the same time, they don't really want the person to go - they're still holding on to hope that they'll come back. The chorus repeats the theme of missing the person and needing them desperately, both physically (missing them in your heart) and mentally (feeling like you're going crazy without them).
The second verse introduces a rapper who tries to convince the singer to forget about the person and move on. But the singer rebuffs this advice, insisting that they need the other person and won't be able to survive without them. The bridge highlights the contradictory nature of the singer's feelings, as they struggle to deal with the pain of missing the person but still hold on to hope.
Overall, the lyrics for "Stay" are a poignant expression of the pain of longing for someone who has left, and the desperation to keep them close. The song is a classic example of the emotional ballads that made Shinhwa so popular in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I ❤️ them. I wish the younger generation would "rediscover" Shinwa. Rare to find enduring brotherhood and talent in 1 group.
@wheezy001
Rather, I think the level of Shinhwa's enduring brotherhood is at least 10x more beautiful and meaningful than that of other groups. Not just because of Shinhwa's longevity, but also because of everything they have been through.

Judging from the sweat and the wet clothes, they're supposed to be really tired while singing this. What great stamina & perseverance... Bravo for their excellent performance! Truly, legendary entertainers indeed! And they're in the mid-late 30s as well... #1000wows
