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
