Stay And Drown

This song is one my favorite songs by Finger Eleven. To me, this song about a person who feels like everything in his life is fucked up. One of those people that think or say to themselves, "I'm so fucked up." In the beginning, to me, it sounds like he's with someone who doesn't really notice that he is hurting and needs help. And this is why he says, "Was I left alone? Where have you gone? Were you somewhere else just sleeping?" And, "If I wait to wake you I'll never ask you Would you take my hand?" I think is saying that if he waits for her to realize what he is going through he might be waiting forever and never ask her for help. As most have said before me, I think he is asking her if she loves him enough to stay by his side while he tries to work through his problems. The part that really gives me this impression is "My open eyes see everything But I'm passing all the days through a window pane And as the scene would change I'd stay the same." The person feels like the majority of the people he sees are living happily and don't hurt like is and he is feeling like the world is moving all around him but he can't move past what pains him. So he feels like he is standing still and looking at the world through a window and the only thing that doesn't change is how bad he hurts. Something I, and I am sure many people, can identify with.

My Favorite song off their 2nd album. This song hits way to close to home for me. few years back my girlfriend killed herself and that whole week leading up to it i was trying to find the words to tell her i loved her. I never got to, and i feel like if I just had been able to do it without being scared of what she would say she'd still be alive. Thats how i see this song, as my flash back to those days so long ago.

This song is deeper and darker than one would observe from the surface. At one level this song likely pertains toward a perspective of quandary from someone who is reserved in their acknowledgement of love. But at another level, the romantic lead is either struggling with something and/or seeing the relationship struggle as he feels dragged down under. Will he wait until it is too late and the other has to drown with said romantic lead? Or will the other pull their head out of their butt before he is gone for good? 'His open eyes see everything' and 'don't forget it'!

i guess its about asking a girl if she really loves you. or something like that. im not good at this shit. but i love this song.

lol.....nice try u dumb fuk, its about asking a girl is she will be with him forever and how as time passes bye it seems dat he jus sits dere and watches it through a window
