Stay

GUTEN TAG!

I realize that posting this at night and saying good morning in German is relatively senseless...but its my blog, so AHAA! Anywho! This is one of my FAVORITE flyleaf songs...I'm probably going to use the word FAVORITE for most of the songs I upload...but this one reeeally is fantastic! If you want to know the interpretation of the song, read below. If you just like good music, don't bother to read, and just enjoy the song! :D

At the start I will say that this song is sad...but this band sings about real life stories and circumstance that happen to them along their christian walk; whether its witnessing to someone, or down right professing the truth.
I'm going to explain the lyrics, because most people who listen to this song with me don't understand the song because of the poetic imagery Lacy Moseley (song writer) uses to describe the situation the person in this song is in.

The lyrics themselves explain a story about a person who is abused, both physically and emotionally. The part of the song where it says "dressed up like a car crash, your wheels are turning but your upside down" basically describes the persons life as a mess, and she's alive but numb. The part of the song where it says, “Vampire or a victim, it depends on who’s around.” means that the person acts differently according to her surroundings. “If you look, you look through me. And when you talk, its not to me. And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing.” is going on to talk about the depression making the person numb. The chorus then goes on to say, "If I could stay, then the night would give you up, stay, then the day would keep its trust. Stay, and the night would be enough" is the singer (Lacey Mosley) saying that she wants to be there for her when she needs comfort...all she has to do is stay with her. The rest of the lyrics talk about how the singer (Lacey) tells the person that she’ll be there for them, if only they reach out for help.However the song makes it clear that this person is numb to the love around them because they are so close to the fear and sin they've been exposed to. “If you listen, I can call...If you jump, you just might fall...and if you shout, I’ll only hear you." Then, the very end, the person in the song, is the angel Lacey is singing about. “As an angel runs to ground, just a bang, and a clatter, as an angel hits the ground." The song was written because she was not able to save the persons physical body, however she was able to show the person Jesus, who ultimately saved their soul.

Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise. 
-James 5:13
