The meaning of "Stay!" became clear to me a long time ago when someone I loved was going through a very similar situation of the woman depicted in the lyric. Although I understood that the narrative is meant to be her guardian angel, I felt as if I had played that part before.
The person I loved was abused and degraded continually by someone she claimed to love. And though I did every thing I could to help her see her way out of destructive habits and abusive relationships, it was as if she couldn't hear me, like she wouldn't accept my help. Almost like I wasn't even there, so all I could do was watch helplessly as she virtually destroyed herself.
So anyway, this song has always been very personal to me and very close to my heart. Because I feel like I've lived it, I can relate to the loneliness and sadness and helplessness the woman's angel must be feeling, unable to do anything but watch her destroy herself, knowing she won't listen to reason; knowing she's too far gone.
It's a sad, beautiful song. I have only seen clips from the video, but it looks gorgeous. This is an amazing song that just about anyone can empathize with and appreciate on an entirely human level.
