The tentative Stay Awake lyrics. The song hurts and nearly moved me to tears.
Say, the lights are really low enough to play,
Would you cast yourself so solitary?
All alone you prove that I was,
Broken down to move and alright,
Battling the loss you live for,
Meant the world to you,
And would you stay right here?
When I tell you,
That someone out there loves you.
Would you stay right here?
Well I'd tell you,
That someone out there loves you after all.
Sometimes it's always easier at fall,
Then you pick yourself right back and better,
All alone you prove that I was,
Broken down to move and alright,
And if you're walking out the door I'd stop you
Battling the loss you live for,
Now turn to me and I'd say this
And would you stay right here?
When I tell you,
That someone out there loves you.
If you stay right here,
Keep attacking you,
That someone out there loves you.
Is there no one, no one out there?
Is there no one who, no one who cares?
And if no one. no one out there?
Is there no one who, no one who cares?
And would you decimate these thoughts
When you go?
And if you stay right here,
When I tell you,
That someone out there loves you.
Stay right here,
Keep attacking you,
That someone out there loves you.
No one, no one out there,
Is there no one who, no one who cares?
And if no one, no one out there,
Is there no one who, no one who cares?
A song about love, about hope.
Someone out there loves you after all.
Apparently the song is supposed to lift MCR's fan's spirits up. As quoted by an article;
"it's about someone thinking of killing themselves but the speaker (Gerard?) is convincing them not to "stay right here" because someone out there loves them."
And then of course there's the internal struggle, which has been caught perfectly in the song. "is there no one who, no one who cares?" Gerard is trying to say that, however much you feel unloved, someone loves you or is thinking of you. He's also warning his fans :"Would you cast yourself so solitary?" He's asking us whether death is worth it, to condemn ourselves to eternal solitude.
can't wait for the record to come out.
MCR I love you.
