Stay Here
oOoOO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No tears are falling,
I’m hoping slow fall down
It’s sleeping traffic, as close them on the ground
Pick up cellphone, and in my voice it’s pulling down

It pulses down somewhere
God knows we’re fall a sound
Ask me what I wanna be

Ask me what I wanna do
I’m knocked down
So really I am on

Been out of flame, beating at the wind
I feel so alone, why don’t you just stay here
Brings more than summer skies are letting go
And to your ...asking what you wanna be
I ask you what you wanna do
You’re all I do
So baby you’re not ...

You’re my ... yeah, yeah
Baby you’re my ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stay Here" by oOoOO are poignant and rich with emotion. The song talks about the themes of loneliness and longing for someone to stay with. The first few lines, "No tears are falling, I’m hoping slow fall down, It’s sleeping traffic, as close them on the ground, Pick up cellphone, and in my voice it’s pulling down" suggest a feeling of emptiness and desperation. The singer feels like they are stuck in a state of inaction, waiting for something to lift their spirits.

The chorus then drives home the main message of the song: the singer is hoping that someone will be with them and stay. The lines "Been out of flame, beating at the wind, I feel so alone, why don’t you just stay here" emphasize the point, with the singer feeling like they've been left out in the cold with no one to turn to. The idea of a restless, unfulfilled search for something is further emphasized in the line "Brings more than summer skies are letting go," as the singer desperately tries to find meaning in life.

The final lines of the song focus on the other person, with the singer asking them what they want to be and do. The repeated phrases "You're all I do, so baby you're not..." and "You're my..." show just how central this person is to the singer, with the latter line in particular having a sense of finality to it.

Overall, "Stay Here" is a song that deals with themes of isolation and the longing for a human connection. It captures the feeling of being lost and adrift without someone to share life with.

Line by Line Meaning

No tears are falling,
I am not crying

I’m hoping slow fall down
I am hoping for a slow and gentle descent

It’s sleeping traffic, as close them on the ground
The traffic is asleep, as if it is lying down on the ground

Pick up cellphone, and in my voice it’s pulling down
When I pick up the phone, my voice becomes heavy and sad

It pulses down somewhere
A feeling pulsates within me

God knows we’re fall a sound
God knows we are lost in a sound

Ask me what I wanna be
If you ask me what I want to become

Ask me what I wanna do
If you ask me what I want to do

I’m knocked down
I am defeated

So really I am on
I am trying to stay resilient

Been out of flame, beating at the wind
I have been feeling defeated and helpless, like a flame in the wind
