Stay Lyrics

Well, far be it from me to tell you how to imagine what the song means, arstda, but i'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with you in that. Many of the Pink Floyd songs people think refer to drugs, don't.

Pink Floyd have said on numerous occassions that they weren;'t into doing drugs or writing songs about such (Syd Barrett was the only one to go that route, and he wasn't around for this album).

"Stay" is a simple piece with not much depth, at least not as far as having mysterious lyrics. It says what it wants to say outright.

I believe its about a one night stand, if you will, but in a romantic sense, not just that wham bam thank you ma'am type style. The singer maybe just wants to share one night with a person and not worry about the world or its problems.

Great piece...
