Stay
Wet Baes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There′s no much to do right now
And you know it
Time is passing now
You're not holding to the ground

And the things that
Were used to be
Healing my heart

Now they want me down

Nothing is forever and you know it
Don′t ya?
Don't be so hard cause

You, you tried to get something
And I don't wanna fight!
I just wanna stop

Staaaaaay
Don′t walk away

Listen to the music
And staaaay with me

Overall Meaning

The song "Stay" by Wet Baes is a melancholic and reflective piece about the singer's longing for someone to stay with them. The lyrics suggest a sense of boredom and restlessness, as the singer laments that "there's not much to do right now." Time is passing by and the singer feels unanchored, as they are "not holding to the ground." While there were things that used to heal the singer's heart, they now seem to weigh them down and bring them further into a state of sadness. Despite this, the singer reminds themselves and the listener that "nothing is forever," and there is no need to be harsh or self-punishing.

The chorus of the song is a plea for someone to stay with the singer, to "listen to the music and stay with me." This refrain emphasizes the singer's loneliness and their desire for companionship. The song's lyrics could be interpreted in a variety of ways, such as a longing for a lost relationship or simply a general sense of ennui and longing for human connection. The sombre and dreamy sound of the song, along with the lead vocalist's melancholic voice, provides a fitting backdrop for the introspective lyrics and enhances the overall mood of the song.

Line by Line Meaning

There's no much to do right now
There's nothing much to do at this moment

And you know it
You're aware of it

Time is passing now
Time is moving forward

You're not holding to the ground
You're not staying grounded or focused

And the things that, were used to be, healing my heart, now they want me down
The things that used to help me cope now have negative effects

Nothing is forever and you know it, Don't ya?
Everything is temporary and you are aware of this fact, right?

Don't be so hard cause
Don't take it so seriously

You, you tried to get something
You attempted to achieve something

And I don't wanna fight!
I don't want to argue about it

I just wanna stop
I just want things to come to a peaceful end

Staaaaaay
Stay with me
