Stay In My Corner
The Arcs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't always be a winner, babe
In fact, I'm bound to burn
All these bumps in the road, dear
They're just lessons we learned
We learned
Stay in my corner, babe
Stay in my corner, please
Stay in my corner, babe
I will fight for you if you fight for me too
They can steal away my soul
Hang me dangerously low
I don't care for the gold
'Cause I've been down there before
Before
Stay in my corner, babe
Stay in my corner, please
Stay in my corner, babe
I will fight for you if you fight for me too
We sit together forever
By the colour TV glow
Telling stories, allegories
Letting ourselves go
Stay in my corner, babe
Stay in my corner, please
Stay in my corner, babe
I will fight for you if you fight for me too

Overall Meaning

The Arcs' "Stay In The Light" is a song about the ups and downs of a relationship. The first verse acknowledges the realities of life - that sometimes we fail and that success is not guaranteed. However, the chorus reaffirms the commitment to the relationship and the willingness to fight for each other. The second verse describe the comfort of being with someone you love, watching TV together and telling stories. Overall, the song evokes a sense of perseverance and the importance of having someone to rely on during difficult times.


The repetition of the chorus, "Stay in my corner, babe," emphasizes the message of the song. The lyricist is asking their partner not to give up on them, even when things get tough. The phrase "I will fight for you if you fight for me too" further reinforces this idea. The line is a promise that the relationship is a two-way street and both parties need to support each other.


The verse, "They can steal away my soul, hang me dangerously low, I don't care for the gold, 'cause I've been down there before" is a powerful expression of resilience. It suggests that material possessions do not bring happiness, and that even if the person loses everything, they are still willing to fight for their relationship. This sentiment is echoed in the final verse, where the comfort of the relationship is more important than any story or allegory that they could tell.


Overall, "Stay In The Light" is a song that speaks to the importance of commitment, perseverance, and love, even during tough times.

@american76

Thinking of my Best Friend ever!!

Those who don't know him think he's evil or some dumb Shiite like that.

Actually he's the most beautiful soul I have ever met.

I hate to see him down. To hear him cry.

He might wear black, but he is no one to be feared or hated.

In fact he is just like me. PLUS, he knows...the pen can have more might than the sword.

My heart is broken to see him go. In the end. The damage of being alone for so long, 18 for years for me and being too over protected.

Results...just like I described...everyone goes away, in the end.

"Eu nĂŁo serei um campeĂŁo pra sempre meu bem
Na verdade, eu sou fadado a ruir
Todos esses obstĂĄculos na estrada, querida
Eles são apenas liçÔes que aprendemos
NĂłs aprendemos


Fique ao meu lado, querida
Fique ao meu lado, por favor
Fique ao meu lado, querida
Eu vou lutar por vocĂȘ se vocĂȘ lutar por mim tambĂ©m

Eles podem roubar minha alma
Me arriscar perigosamente
Eu nĂŁo me importo o quĂŁo longe eles me levem
Porque eu estive lĂĄ antes
jĂĄ estive antes


Fique ao meu lado, querida
Fique ao meu lado, por favor
Fique ao meu lado, querida
Eu vou lutar por vocĂȘ se vocĂȘ lutar por mim tambĂ©m

NĂłs sentamos juntos
Para sempre
Pela cores, brilho da TV
Contando histĂłrias, alegorias
Deixando-nos ir


Fique ao meu lado, querida
Fique ao meu lado, por favor
Fique ao meu lado, querida
Eu vou lutar por vocĂȘ se vocĂȘ lutar por mim tambĂ©m
