Thank you very much for sharing this with us. One of those rare occassions were a complete stanger writtes something that you could have seen yourself writting using those exact words. Your interpretation is so accurate to exactly the way we would interpret the lyrics of this song that it's scary. We laughed when we realized we had both felt and reacted the same to this beautiful song. Stay was a song that we danced too a few months ago and both of us later found out felt there was some meaning as we indipendently looked up the lyrics and later their meanings. Despite all of the compliacations here we are almost a year later and I love her every single day, I appreciate her and I am thankful that she is in my life.
We decided that you only live one life and that life is a very short period in time for each person to find what makes them truely happy. Good friends, I never thought of her as a person who I would share a very deep and healthy love with. We found ourselfves in a very similar situation. I loved reading about peoples drug addiction interpretation and others. I think the song can speak to people in lots of different ways. Especially because the last 8 months I've been falling in love with my best friend and not even knowing it while both of us recently went through the process of ending our long term relationships to be with each other.which was incredibly painful and is still trying.but we definitely fill that void in each other To me it's about two people falling in love despite a million and one complications and what once felt impossible is suddenly real: they are together.doing this thing.a relationship against all the odds but even though they both care very deeply about one another they both still question each other's feelings for the other. they fill the void in each other "I need this hole gone" and defeat the odds stacked against them.this song is a conversation between these two lovers looking back at their romance and stepping forward, not about the demise of a relationship. I think it's a positive song about two people meant to be together. When they look back they both aren't sure what to think about their romance "how to feel about it" because both were unfaithful.but they acknowledge that deep stronger then lust feeling that connects them and that their love is real. "I'm the only one who needed saving" Now they are teaching each other about love "it's not something you take it's given." They are stepping into the scary territory or being together.which once seemed impossible. Turns out he saves her from a horrible mistake and bad marriage to someone who can't love her or feel for her the way he does. Finally, she reaches a breaking point and throws her hands in the air ready to give into the love she's been minimizing for so long and begs him to stay with her. She pretends not to care when he leaves in the middle of the night or goes back to the other woman in his life.but she holds back from asking him to stay even though he tells her he's falling for her. She keeps him at arms distance and around they go.their hot and cold, on and off, friends and lovers, ashamed and passionate. while he dares her to do the impossible: step out of a bad relationship where she is being mistreated or at least not loved the way he loves her. She is in denial about the love developing between them, but can't stay away from him. All along their affair was incredibly passionate and deeper then just two people rebounding or escaping poor relationships. despite both of them being in long term relationships with other people, possibly even married. My InterpretationI see two people who are so drawn to each other with unbelievable amounts of chemistry.
Her need for him has outweighed that fear of vulnerability" It's not just something you take, it's given"Īnd she's admitting that even though she's still struggling with the fear: That fear is causing her to distance herself out of an unneeded sense of protecting herself and he's calling her on it, reminding her that she needs to be open to receiving love and living life: I think it's about two people struggling with intimacy and the sense of vulnerability that comes from realizing you need the other person as well as how fear can cause you to sabotage something you want so badly. Not every song in the world is about drug use, most people in the world are capable of having profound experiences and emotions without the use of drugs or alcohol. Rihanna didn't write the song, Justin Parker, Mikky Ekko did, so I'm highly doubtful it's about Chris Brown It's hard to know which one of us is caving It's not just something you take, it's given Makes me feel like I can't live without you Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know Round and around and around and around we go He said, "If you dare, come a little closer" I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
