Stay And Defend Lyrics
Everybody always seems to talk about
the light of the hills on fire
Create a hype and then turn it around
You turn me to conspire
What to do, who to see?
I can tell a joke, but this one's on me
Now I'm falling down, falling out
falling backwards, far behind you
Don't go, don't be tired
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
(stay and defend)
Now everybody always seems to talk about
the sun setting in the west
Do we give up, just enjoy the lights
and say we did our best?
(we did our best)
What to do, who to see
when we both know that we can't agree?
Now I'm falling down, falling out
falling backwards, don't be falling backwards now
Don't go, don't be tired
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
Don't go, don't go
Stay and defend
Don't go, stay and defend
Don't go, stay and defend
(stay and defend)
Now everybody always seems to talk about
the light of the hills on fire
Don't go, don't be tired
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
Don't go, dont be tired
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
the light of the hills on fire
Create a hype and then turn it around
You turn me to conspire
I can tell a joke, but this one's on me
Now I'm falling down, falling out
falling backwards, far behind you
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
(stay and defend)
the sun setting in the west
Do we give up, just enjoy the lights
and say we did our best?
(we did our best)
when we both know that we can't agree?
Now I'm falling down, falling out
falling backwards, don't be falling backwards now
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
Stay and defend
Don't go, stay and defend
Don't go, stay and defend
(stay and defend)
the light of the hills on fire
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend
You give a world, then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end
Maybe we run, or maybe we stay and defend

I actually was told via Twitter what this song is about. It deals with the struggle of a couple wondering if they should keep going with this relationship, or see other people.
My take on this song is the idea of propaganda and media lies and the song's saying 'say whatever you want, i'm doing what i love, i don't care what you say, i'm not going to get scared and run away'. I love the Talking Heads feel to this song. Very fun little tune.
