Don't Stay
“Don’t Stay” is a cathartic anthem for anyone ready to cut ties with the negative energy in their life. Whether it’s a toxic ex, a narcissistic friend, or a family member that always ruins the reunion, Arcane’s new track is about reclaiming your peace and choosing better for yourself.
“Most artists write songs about wanting someone to stay. This one is about recognizing when someone’s presence is actually damaging, and finally having the courage to say get outta here, do not stay, depart my life, don’t let the door hit you.”
Built on jangly guitars, punchy drums, and fuzzy vocals, “Don’t Stay” pairs raw honesty with a chorus that begs to be shouted in the car on the way to quitting your job. Lyrics like “My life gets better when you’re gone, I think I’m better off alone” capture the relief of closing the door on people who drain more than they give.
Fans of The Strokes, The Drums, and Surf Curse will connect with Arcane’s mix of driving riffs, melody, and lyrical bite. This song is the soundtrack to leaving town, late-night drives, and cutting ties without regret.
LYRICS:
No
I don't know
Just the way I live
It's my MO
Go
You don't need it
But you're conceited
I know
You take the rug out from me
I take the bad, the ugly
Rude
I want the good
Self centered
Documented
Be there
Thought you meant it.
Mood
Always lose
Don't
You say
That you can stay
Can't take the pain
I
Won't make
The same mistake
No not again
I can't keep
Pretending it's ok
It's not ok
My life gets better when you're gone
I think I'm better off alone
Don't stay
Don't
Don't pretend
That you're innocent
Or a friend
You
You're the worst
Only thing that stays
Is the hurt
You take advantage
Don't care about the damage
That you do
It's all bout you
You're so narcissistic
Your time
I don't miss it
Why
rather lie
Don't
You say
That you can stay
Can't take the pain
I
Won't make
The same mistake
No not again
I can't keep
Pretending it's ok
It's not ok
My life gets better when you're gone
I think I'm better off alone
Don't stay
