Rihanna: Stay Meaning

Song Released: 2011

Covered By: Jasmine Thompson

Stay Lyrics

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air and said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer

Round and around and around and around we go
Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell...

   I think she's trying to talk about two people who are simply trying to help each other survive through mutual affection. It's as simple as that, no matter if it's about her personally or not.

   This song is an illuminati dedication. When Rhianna says "round and around we go," she is speaking of dancing with the devil. Also when she say "I want you to stay," she is also talking to the devil thanking him for being "blessed" with fortune and fame. Most of all songs that are being released today are being are authored people who have dedicated their lives,souls,and careers to the exhaltation of satanic entities. Kanye West's song "New Slave",was an attempt to send a message and to break free from the entities that Jay Z exalts and gives so much thanks to in his song "Holy Grail". Wake up people, these songs have special dedications as well as hidden meanings. Lots of songs using the word "she" doesn't exactly refer to a girl or woman. Note: The music industry and the "machine" its being ran by has often been refered to and/or addressed as "she" in many instances. Wake Up!!

   Rihanna did not write the song...has nothing to do with her and Chris Brown. She may be able to integrate that past relationship into the lyrics but Mikky Ekko wrote them about his personal struggle.

   I think this song is story of two people that do not get a chance to be themselves in a relationship apart from their own - possibly sharing the truest type of friendship that has never crossed any lines. Both of them struggling everyday to try and understand each others situation. Possibly she is in an abusive relationship feeling like the weaker vessel and has another him that helps keep her strong and stand by her decision to stay in this type of relationship but yet daring her to chose another he is also in another relationship they are both tired of going round and round they finally cross the line giving each other the pleasure of sharing a temporary quick fix of love until the next time rolls around, explaining how he is broken and she needs the saving. Awesome song!!

    sorry for my Bad english
    Nothing philisophical behind this at first see, will explain the second interpreation after.
    
    The song first part deal with this famous night when chris brown beated rihanna :
    
    All along was a fever,
    because they were arguing since Chris brown had probably been unfaithful. A girl had sent him a mail on his phone and she wanted to see it "I through my hand in the air i said show me something !"
    
    He didnt want to show and he went upsed he said "If you dare come a little closer" to beat her
    
    "Not really sure how to feel about it " She and he doenst know how to feel about this night... and something in the way you move etc... mean they love each other etc.
    
    
    "Ohhh" mean cry or something like that
    
    "Funny you're the broken one but i'm the only one who needed saving"
    because chris said his error was to beat her she forgave him but she was the one who needed someone to help her.
    
    cause when you never see the light ... mean problem within the couple and, also the light she couldn't see when beaten up (not sure of this)

    She is talking about the relationship from start to finish...from the perspective of the abuse cycle ... And as a co-dependent. Of course with Chris brown! Obvious! Most cycles of abuse start with a fever, a crazy passion that fizzes out and they are left wanting that and stay hoping to find that "fever" again. Many codependents need saving which is why they stay in bad relationships and it sounds like she understands all of this and honestly I have respect for her because she had to work through a lot to get to the point of singing this song. Hopefully they r in therapy together?

    This song may have so many meanings to everyone I respect your thoughts and in many of them they contradict with my perspective. In my point of view this song relates to any kind of situation that anyone's going through that person seems to be stuck in one deep hole there's no way to get out although to find the easiest fastest solution to get them out although life isn't as easy as it gets. Everyone has to reanalize situations like these and look around them view at those who care and does who don't at the end we all make mistakes, but in the beggining there's always a correction.

    It's about true love, love so strong. They can't live apart. Regardless of the situation. Regardless what they have done to one another.
    He/she didn't want to Admit it at first with hot headed believer/ if you dare come a little closer -Because it was so dangerous and a abusive. Drug wise, physically and emotionally.
    Tell me now after all this time they are madly inlove. And they don't know how to feel or what to do about it because its so bad.
    Round and around and around they go with the same vicious cycle. But they hold on. No matter what they do to one another they can't let go.
    They need each other to fill the hole. They are both messed up both mentally unstable. And they both needed saving but were both so evil and lost.
    They are not sure how to feel about it now. Love is there but it's a banished love a bad love. But no matter what it's love.
    They are living a life not worth it without each other.

    This isn't about mental illnss, it is about two people drawn together very physically and then emotion set in. The attraction is so strong they ignore the problems. They deal with the same old issues and there is no real resolution in sight. They don't want to sever but they bith know it is inevitable.The physical relationship is so addicting they can't move forward to end it but they are both unhappy.I have to say this is more realistic than most break up songs on the radio since it captures the emotion hole before pulling the plug. It is truely beautiful and heartbreaking.
