Comes from the Robert Frost poem, "Nothing gold can stay." Often can refer to staying true to yourself and your own character.
More literal meanings can be to stay where you are, in whatever figurative meaning (ie: relationship, city, state, country) you can conjure up.

Employs a variety of meanings, all of which gravitate around themes of maintaining self, integrity, and youth. Used extensively in the straight edge doctrine of pure living to mean "stay free of drugs, alcohol, and other vices."
Derived from the last line of Robert Frost's acclaimed poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay".

Being true to yourself, innocent, uncorrupted, unblemished etc.
Not conforming to what society dictates, but in a sense marching to the beat of your own drummer
