Deadmau5 - Stay (Drop The Poptart) Lyrics






Breathe it in now, then breathe it out
Let the air flow over me
Up high, can you tell me what you see?
This life, is it more than just a dream?
Look at me now, then look away
Can you tell me what to do?
Your eyes, they no longer speak for you
Inside, tell me where you hide the truth

Inside, tell me where you hide the truth

If you want me to stay
I need you to know
You can never, ever leave me alone
If you want me to stay
I need you to know
I can't
I can never let you go

I can never let you go

  1. L.... L....

    Hot and gooey on the inside...

  2. �.... �....

    💖💖👍👍🔝🔝🔝🔝

  3. C.... F....

    It's great! But what happened at 11:20 and 11:51?

  4. B.... D....

    How am I just now finding this?!

  5. J.... H....

    "gorgeous" x

  6. O.... D....

    This. This is Joel’s Magnum Opus. This IS deadmau5. This is the mau5 I grew up with.

  7. z.... ....

    I'm going through old favorited videos here on Youtube and found this again. This is so Amazing to me. deadmau5 music is soooo good Thanks Joel

  8. p.... 2....

    this song could get 1b listens and it would still be underrated

  9. h.... j....

    Damn just read the full story of update in the description I hope one day we can have one last update that reads "realesed"

    h.... j....

    hal jordan That’s what Update 9 & 10 are!

    h.... j....

    @Good4Josh I meant this full 13 minutes version, sorry forgot to mention that. I know there is the 9 minutes version wich is still good but doesn't quite have this full lengthy intro 😁 like an extended edit realese would be nice

    h.... j....

    hal jordan Oh, gotcha. The download should be to the 14-minute version, and there’s also the 16-minute version linked in the description

    h.... j....

    @Good4Josh awesome!

  10. V.... m....

    How did I not see this until now?!?

  11. L.... G....

    The chord progression of this song is so...I don't have the appropriate word to describe it.

  12. C.... H....

    “Your eyes, they no longer speak for you” favorite lyric

  13. C.... d....

    tears dudes

  14. E.... R....

    I. Am. OBSESSEDDDDD

  15. J.... D....

    Let me throw a question at you...

    *aRe YoU jOeL?*

  16. F.... A....

    je découvre, et bien j'adore.

  17. S.... J....

    I don't think it would fit, but imagine if this song actually made it to While (1<2). It would make a great ending. This might of well have been the next Strobe.

    S.... J....

    Whether it made it to While (1<2) or not, wouldn't change the fact this is undoubtedly one of joels best works with vocals of all time. Its just there with vocal works such as "I remember", "Move for me", "Spohie Needs a Ladder", and "Let go"...but tbh, I'd say its not only one of his best tracks that has vocals but.. Its one of his best, yet most underrated, tracks ever. I absolutely love this song.

  18. z.... a....

    2019 and still a banger

  19. J.... o....

    Song long enough to monetize brilliant 😂

    J.... o....

    Johan ousback This video isn’t monetized - none of mine are

  20. m.... m....

    What is the robotic voice in the background (barely audible) at 1:03 saying ?

    m.... m....

    I think it says "It's 9-o-clock" - it's an app he uses that says the time every hour. This audio was ripped from a livestream

  21. M.... M....

    I fucking love this song. Also, does anyone know what key this is in?

  22. J.... T....

    1:02 Was that a vst opening lol

  23. M.... ....

    Sounds like Infinity 2009

  24. 0.... ....

    downvoted only because it sounds broken in spots.

    0.... ....

    0xen0 the download doesn’t have those broken spots

  25. M.... G....

    Love this.

  26. L.... C....

    Still listening in 2019!

  27. f.... ....

    finally i found dis

  28. K.... N....

    8:25 is drop

  29. R.... V....

    Hol6 smokes thirteen minutes on this!




    I’m in heaven!

  30. j.... p....

    This is a good one

  31. j.... p....

    Amazing work with the female vocals on point

  32. J.... C....

    Long time Mau5 fan and I find this song in 2019...

    J.... C....

    WTF. Not a true fan

  33. L.... E....

    Love it! So up my musical street even though the lyrics make bugger all sense

  34. d.... ....

    The Chopin of our generation.

  35. O.... C....

    Who else heard some Arcadia in the song

  36. A.... ....

    I am not a fan of the lyrics. Colleen D'Agostino has a beautiful voice but these lyrics sound like a garbage pop song.

  37. a.... d....

    Anyone send me a link to download the full song without error and at 320kbps?
    I did not find any site that I downloaded, I clicked on the link in the video description and I could not download it on my mobile phone.

  38. m.... a....

    i still don't understand how this song isn't going viral

    m.... a....

    mounir ammisaid seems like the masses don’t have the ears or care about amazing work. Joel’s music is truly untouchable, a living god if you will

  39. B.... ....

    Umm.. Can we say... Ecstacy Flashback anyone??
    Wow!
    Creates a sensation/feeling to one of those once-in-a-lifetime dreams where in that moment I'd rather die than wake up from. Just a figure of speech. I hope.
    I'm about to wear this YouTube Server OUT!! (just dated myself, yes!)

  40. B.... ....

    AHHHHH!!! What happened to the electric guitar part near the end that I heard on the long Relax Mix vid??? UGH, Grrr!

    B.... ....

    That’s a different version of the song. It’s called Somewhere Up Here. It’s linked in the description of the video

  41. B.... ....

    11:20 What's up with the skip/blip at exactly 11:20 and two more smaller ones to follow??? I sure hope it's a screw up only on this particular YT V-Audio and not the main Deadma5 Poptart track! Anyone know?

    B.... ....

    It’s because the audio was ripped from a livestream. The download link doesn’t have the error

    B.... ....

    @Good4Josh So the electric guitar is in the final version?

    B.... ....

    @Good4Josh Thx

  42. K.... K....

    Walked in on my 9-year-old daughter when she was doing school homework, noticed this song was playing in the background. "Parenting: Mission Successfully Completed"

    K.... K....

    Level 84 parenting unlocked

    K.... K....

    Congratulations! Very proud of world ❤_❤

    K.... K....

    Ur a fkn loser

    K.... K....

    @Sean Moore wtf

    K.... K....

    That's a blessing man haha. Your daughter really knows what music is and feels it, here's an example of it. Wish more kids listen to stuff like this instead of lil pump, marshmello, etc

  43. H.... ....

    always saunds as amazing as i heard it for the first time

  44. b.... ....

    A most beautiful piece of music, timeless...

  45. E.... B....

    i cried

  46. F.... F....

    9:39 hidden message?

    F.... F....

    It was an app on his computer that on the hour said what time it is with a robotic voice. This song was ripped from a livestream

  47. E.... B....

    Vocal free version??

  48. E.... B....

    Is there a version with no vocals on YouTube?

  49. M.... ....

    A true electronic masterpiece with real, deep, meaningful lyrics.

  50. M.... ....

    something's off with the beats. Probably just youtube compression.

  51. k.... ....

    13+ minutes of pure eargasm :)

  52. B.... L....

    That shine black deadmau5 art is enough to give me chills, then add a song like this on top of that feeling..... truly incredible

  53. S.... _....

    I want a poptart now... I literally drove to Walmart to get a poptart what a waste of gas

  54. s.... c....

    My boyfriend and I drove around Puerto Rico listening to this .It was the best time of my stupid life.

  55. s.... c....

    This song is perfect .

  56. c.... ....

    Great to dance to! Deadmau5 you are awesome 👏

  57. T.... ....

    Great track but what happened at 11:20??? You had to notice that before posting this on youtube.

  58. v.... ....

  62. C.... S....

    Let's get it, people!

  63. D.... O....

    Her voice and this beat makes me fly

  64. T.... ....

    bro Somewhere Up Here is not even in this song at all, have you actually even listened to that song?? rename this video to extended mix and erase Somewhere up here on the title

    T.... ....

    Tostedpoptarts4444 Read the description. The song was called Somewhere Up Here at one point

  65. F.... F....

    Extended mix fails 11:18~11:23, 11:50~11:53

  66. S.... ....

    I forgot how haunting this song is.

  67. u.... g....

    why /Somewhere up here thats a completely different song

    u.... g....

    Big Gay please read the description - in the first Update I mentioned, Deadmau5 himself stated that Somewhere Up Here was the name of the track. He would later change the name to Stay

    u.... g....

    Good4Josh ok mb

  68. P.... ....

    Someone talking at 9:36?

    P.... ....

    It's Deadmau5's talking alarm clock. This audio was ripped from a livestream

  69. R.... B....

    whats with the skipping at 11:xx?

    R.... B....

    Audio error from rip; the download doesn't have the skip

    R.... B....

    thanks man i love the song/cut though.

  70. C.... M....

    Deadmau5 is a fuckin boss.

  71. A.... M....

    Not strobe, but every bit as good as I Remember.

  72. B.... T....

    Amazing

  73. K.... F....

    This track skips a beat, its not a smooth transition.

  74. b.... a....

    Thanks for the upload. Toward the end the vocals go wonky and a chunk of the song skips forward. Otherwise, love this track.

  75. C.... D....

    I’m only hearing this now, 💗🍀👏👏👏👏

  76. B.... ....

    The feeling and mood this song gives me is indescribable, it makes me feel like crying tears of happiness and sadness at the same time, and it’s one of the only songs I’ll ever sing to. Colleen’s emotions can really be felt and I love it. Reading the backstory is extremely sad, but it really helps to understand the emotions you can feel when listening. I feel like I’ve experienced something, not just listened to another song, and I love that deadmau5 could never finish it, because it shows even he couldn’t end such an amazing song. Sorry for rambling, I just had to say what I thought <3

  77. A.... ....

    I feel like I'm floating listing to this.

  78. N.... B....

    Now there's Tune ;)

  79. t.... ....

    Looool "Joel, if you are reading this, and want me to take this video down, please message me or comment and I will gladly remove it."

  80. g.... g....

    Breathe it in now, then breathe it out.
    Let the air flow over me.
    Up high can you tell me what you see?
    This life isn't more than just a dream.

    Look at me now, then look away.
    Can you tell me what to do?
    Your eyes, they no longer speak for you
    Inside tell me where you hide the truth.

    Inside tell me where you hide the truth...

    If you want me to stay, I need you to know.
    You can never, ever, leave me alone.
    If you want me to stay, I need you to know.
    I can't... I can't never let you go.

  81. J.... J....

    I love this song, i have heard it 100 times, and it is not dull yet. Greetings from Frankfurt / Germany.

  82. M.... D....

    I dont care enough to search through the comments, but WTF is any self-respecting "artist" hoping to achieve with the insulting shite beginning at 11:20? if its on purpose (as most garbage like this is), are you that much of a cunty low-functioning narcissist that you want to alienate your longtime supporters who've promoted (and up to THIS SECOND) your work....by a nauseating wake-up that youre not who I thought you were as an artist? So its just about money and your fragile retarded ego?
    I really am just done with you after this,

    M.... D....

    c g Lol read the description. This was ripped from a livestream and there was a fuckup. The real song doesn’t have that

  83. O.... G....

    Love 😍😍😍😍😍😍

  84. A.... D....

    HOLY FUCK THIS IS GOOD

  85. S.... ....

    deadmau5 is depressed since he hears the same nonsense in Techno all over the place, and he is just pointing it out...

    S.... ....

    Sucks that he grew out of his own name...

  86. M.... ....

    What does the robot voice say in the background at 9:37?

  87. d.... ....

    So boss how youve chronicled the track

  88. K.... M....

    Still listening in 2018 XD

  89. T.... C....

    You can actually hear A Different type of Music From a Billionaire that doesn't even have a Passion at Making Music at all..
    .
    What a Genius you are Joel..

  90. P.... B....

    God bless deadmau5 and progressive house!! Eargasm as always....

  91. J.... T....

    This mix is unreal

  92. R.... T....

    awesome

  93. F.... B....

    I can't believe I'm hearing this for the first time. It's a fucking beautiful piece of music. It hits me on so many levels

  94. S.... ....

    The download links don't seem to be working for me :(

  95. J.... ....

    almost four years ago.

  96. A.... G....

    seeing this live was the best thing that has ever happened to me

    A.... G....

    That would have been amazing!!

  97. Y.... ....

    Is it just me or is every second of this song just perfect?

  98. A.... R....

    who's here listening to this futuristic song in 2050 ..?

  99. S.... �....

    Colleen D'Agostino has an article about this song. Here it is. "A couple years ago I was playing at The Roxy with my former rock band The Material, and some of the mau5trap records family was there. After my set, they suggested I write some topline to a few deadmau5 instrumentals, but I honestly didn’t think he would ever hear them. During the time I was writing for the deadmau5 tracks, I was going through a lot of personal stuff. I was visiting my Dad in the hospital who was dying, and all of the pain, sadness, love, frustration and anger came together in the lyrics that eventually became “Stay”, or as Joel originally called it “Drop the Poptart”. I emailed the vocals to Joel, and the next thing I knew, he was building a new instrumental for the song and posting clips on SoundCloud. Apparently it resonated with him and his fans, because it received an overwhelming positive response (thanks guys!), and I signed to mau5trap records shortly after."
    A year later after my Dad passed away, I asked Joel if we could give “Stay” an official release on my upcoming EP “Collide”, because the song meant so much to me. After the EP came out this past March, I was thinking of releasing an acoustic arrangement for one of the songs, and “Stay” was the obvious choice. A few amazing and talented friends of mine came together to record and film this studio session and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to show the world the way that this song sounds in my head. It’s purposely not perfectly tuned or flawless, but it captures the raw and real emotion of this song that I wrote for my dad.”

    S.... �....

    I am so hard on myself. When I listen to anything I'm like why do I even like this and then I beat myself up and say I'm immature or something idk why
    Anyway
    .. I knew there was something extremely special about this song and feel awful for not just enjoying it instead putting myself down again. Time to try to be nicer to myself. This song is amazing and I love the article. And it IS flawless

    S.... �....

    ​@obi wulf I appreciate it! Sorry for the late response as I try to stay away from some of my favorite songs so I have not been back here for a while. This song could have so many great meanings. So cool to see how much compassion is in this song... You can hear it in her voice.

    S.... �....

    @aubrey the song just made me so sad after reading that it was about the singer's dad dying.

    S.... �....

    after reading this, every time i listen to this song i cry. thx alot. lmao nah its good to cry sometimes. truly thank you.

    S.... �....

    bless u, girl.. x
