Stay Away Lyrics

Nuke dashita daichi de
te ni ireta no wa jiyuu
maybe lucky maybe lucky
I dare say I'm lucky

reeru no ue ni sotte
doko made yukeru kana
maybe lucky maybe lucky
I dare say I'm lucky

yakimashi no sekai ni wa hikarenai kara
kimi no mirai wa acchi
saa trying trying in yourself

causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away

massara na taiyou wa
dare ni mo furi sosogu
maybe happy maybe happy
I dare say I'm happy

urusaku iwanaide ne
shizunde shimau kara
maybe happy maybe happy
I dare say I'm happy

karamitsuku sekai ni wa unzara nano sa
kagefumi shitenaide
saa trying trying in yourself

causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
right away on! BOTHER ME

umarenagara boku wa muhou jyoutai sa
ishi koro korogashi
saa trying trying in myself

causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
right away ...

ukabu kumo no you ni dare mo boku o tsukamenai
nani mo kamo o kowashi jiyuu no moto ni umareta

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think it's about a person who didn't take the conventional road of success cos he thought that the people in coporate/office/blah jobs are like "photocopies" (duplicates of each other with no own personality, and photocopies usually come in low quality, boring black and white) so he decided to "let go of the whole world" (maybe he had such a job that made him feel very lifelss then he decided to quit it)

causes stain, stay away > boring, typical lives "stain" his life/personality/soul so he wants it to "stay away" from him?

anyway i love this song (not just because of the way they dance in the pv x.x) and the above stated was just my opinion so don't whack me if it's wrong >.< and i'm not good with words i doubt i put across some of my points clearly. blah.

Daniel Powter made a cover version with alternate lyrics:

I think it’s time to find a way out Nothing’s gonna hold me down now Feeling LUCKY Feeling LUCKY Feeling REALLY LUCKY

No looking back or second guessing I think by now I’ve learned my lesson Feeling LUCKY Feeling LUCKY Feeling REALLY LUCKY

I’ve been walking down the same street I can’t take the pain no more Needs to change my life completely GOTTA LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND

I’M GOIN’ AWAY, STAY AWAY HAPPY DAYS, COME MY WAY Breaking all the chains that bind me Leaving all the bad...

i let go of the whole world, that's how i obtained freedom maybe lucky, maybe lucky, i dare say i'm lucky

living life on the rails. i wonder, how far can i go? maybe lucky, maybe lucky, i dare say i'm lucky

i am unattracted by a photocopy world your future is there...so trying trying in yourself

causes stain, stay away causes stain, stay away..

the brand new sun pours down onto everybody. maybe happy, maybe happy, i dare say i'm happy

don't speak too noisily - because you're sinking anyway maybe happy, maybe happy, i dare say i'm happy

i'm sick of this twisted world don't stay in the shadows....well, trying trying in yourself.

causes stain, stay away causes stain, stay away causes stain, stay away right away...oh bother me, oh, right away...

i've been reborn and now i'm completely free rolling free like a boulder so trying trying in myself

causes stain, stay away causes stain, stay away causes stain, stay away

right away....

like a floating rumbling cloud, nobody can catch me; if i broke everything, i'd be reborn again.

They don't dance; their heads were CGed onto dancer's heads.
