Stole The Show Lyrics – Kygo ft. Parson James
Stole The Show Lyrics
[Verse 1: Parson James]
Darling, darling, oh, turn the lights back on now
We're watching, watching as the credits all roll down
And crying, crying, you know we're playing to a full house, house
[Pre-Chorus: Parson James]
No heroes, villains, one to blame
While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone
Our debut was a masterpiece
But in the end, for you and me
Oh, the show, it can't go on
[Chorus: Parson James]
We used to have it all, but now's our curtain call
So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd, and take our final bow
Oh, it's our time to go, but at least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
At least we stole the show
[Drop: Parson James]
At least we stole the show
[Verse 2: Parson James]
Darling, darling, you know that we are sold out
And kisses fading, but the band plays on now
We're crying, crying, so let the velvet roll down, down
[Pre-Chorus: Parson James]
No heroes, villains, one to blame
While wilted roses fill the stage
And the thrill, the thrill is gone
Our debut was a masterpiece
Our lines, we read so perfectly
But the show, it can't go on
[Chorus: Parson James]
We used to have it all, but now's our curtain call
So hold for the applause, oh
And wave out to the crowd, and take our final bow
Oh it's our time to go, but at least we stole the show (Oh)
At least we stole the show (Oh)
[Drop: Parson James]
At least we stole the show
Stole the show
Stole the show
Stole the show
At least we stole the show
Stole the show
We stole the show
At least we stole the show
Stole The Show Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Stole the Show" by Kygo featuring Parson James reflects on the bittersweet realization that a relationship has reached its end, likening it to the conclusion of a theatrical performance. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and acceptance as the protagonists come to terms with the end of their time together. Despite the sadness, there's a recognition of the memorable moments they shared and the impact they had on each other's lives.
[Verse 1]
In the opening verse, the narrator addresses their partner, urging them to face the reality of their situation by "turning the lights back on." They acknowledge that they are witnessing the final moments of their relationship, symbolized by the rolling credits at the end of a movie. The reference to "playing to a full house" suggests that their relationship had once been vibrant and full of life, but now it's coming to a close.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus reflects on the absence of clear heroes or villains in their story, indicating that the blame for the relationship's demise cannot be placed on one person alone. The imagery of "wilted roses" filling the stage emphasizes the sadness and decay surrounding their love. Despite the initial excitement and passion ("our debut was a masterpiece"), they recognize that the relationship has run its course and must come to an end.
[Chorus]
The chorus captures the sentiment of acknowledging the end of their relationship as they take their "curtain call," a theatrical term for the final bow at the end of a performance. They ask for one last moment of recognition from the audience ("hold for the applause") before saying goodbye. Despite the sadness, there's a sense of pride in knowing that they made an impact and "stole the show" with their love.
[Drop]
The repetition of "at least we stole the show" in the drop emphasizes the idea that even though their relationship is ending, they can take solace in the memories and experiences they shared together. It's a reminder that despite the pain of parting ways, they can still cherish the moments they had.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the narrator reflects on the inevitability of their breakup, likening it to a sold-out show coming to an end. Despite the fading affection ("kisses fading"), they acknowledge that life goes on ("the band plays on"). The tears shed are likened to the rolling down of velvet curtains, signaling the end of their love story.
[Pre-Chorus]
Similar to the first pre-chorus, this section reiterates the absence of clear blame and the inevitability of their relationship's end. The imagery of reading lines perfectly suggests that they once had a strong connection and understanding, but now that connection has faded.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the themes of closure, acknowledgment, and pride in the shared experiences of their relationship. Despite the sadness, there's a sense of acceptance and gratitude for the time they had together.
[Drop]
The final drop echoes the sentiment of embracing the memories and acknowledging the impact of their relationship, even as they part ways.
