What is love? This is a question which has many factors depending on the stage of life you are in and the background you come from. As a baby, love comes from the person looking after you. You grow a bit more in your body, and as you begin to understand the world, another kind of love takes hold. The one of friendship. Which is unique in itself: you meet one person and become friends right away for life. On the other hand, we all meet people, and we need to find the threads that connect to them for the path of one.
Yesterday was the first time I listened to Stay Love by Lewis Capaldi, and to me, this song is about two things: love and relationships on the surface, but on the other hand, when you read between the lines, like the verse” It’s the perfect crime, with an alibi”, it’s how things don’t feel right but you as the outsider sees them that way so it must be the case right?
Stay Love by Lewis Capaldi lyrics:
Oh love
I’m a mess right now
Can you help me out
‘cos it’s all gone south
Oh love
Make the hurt not hurt
Cos the pills don’t work
They just make it worse
So when the rights are going wrong
And I’m barely holding on
Baby hear when I say
Oh won’t you stay love
When everybody’s leaving
Come on stay love,
To get me through the evening
Oh I pray love
That you’ll always be the one
And when the road gets rough
Don’t give up on us
And this could stay love
Oh life, can be cruel sometimes
It’s the perfect crime, with an alibi
And I try to make it on my own
But that’s a fighters fight
And I’m the loving type
Oh, so when the rights are going wrong
And I’m barely holding on
Baby hear when I say
Oh won’t you stay love
When everybody’s leaving
Come on stay love,
To get me through the evening
You know I pray love
That you’ll always be the one
‘Cos when the road gets rough
Don’t give up on us
And this could stay love
Stay love
Oh if the world is weighing on your back
All your colours fade to grey and black
Oh my darling, I just hope you know
That I’ll stay love
When everybody’s leaving
Yeah I’ll stay love
To get you through the evening
Oh I pray love
That you’ll always be the one
and when the road gets rough
I won’t give up on us
So won’t you stay love
When everybody’s’ leaving
Come on stay love
To get me through the evening
Oh I pray love
That you’ll always be the one
and when the road gets rough
I won’t give up on us
And this could stay love
Stay love
In You:
When it gets rough and unstable
A body full of pieces inside of you
You will fall on the biggest ones you have
The issue is that when
You put them on a weighing scale
Will it heal or will it fall?
