TWICE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They go off every time that we're face to face
Why is it so hard to resist?
Temptation sweet as honey, I know it's too late
I feel it deep inside, I'm gonna lose the fight
Eventually I know that I'll be crossing the line
I try warning myself 'cause I'm in need of help
Can't hold me back, already standing right at the edge
Out of control (hey)
Oh, I been caught under the spot, spot, spotlight
I wanna cave in to the dark side calling to me
The ending's obvious, I know it's not right
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah, hey)
You pull me over to the red, red, red line
I can't escape it you're my weakness and you're my vice
In the shadows you're the only highlight
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah)
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah)
Look in my eyes, you'll see the monster stuck inside yourself
I'm touching, you're touching me and nothing matters for now
There's no controlling my heart tonight
Can't get a hold of it
I see it in your face, the lions out the cage
It's everything tonight or baby, nothing at all (nothing at all)
Tell me what to do 'cause all I want is you
So hold on for your life, we're better off if we fall out of control
(Ooh yeah)
Oh, I been caught under the spot, spot, spotlight (spotlight)
I wanna cave in to the dark side calling to me (it's callin' to me)
The ending's obvious I know it's not right (it's not right, it's not right)
I can't stop me, can't stop me ('cause I know I can't stop me, yeah) (no, woah-woah, hey)
You pull me over to the red, red, red line (I'm ready to go there)
I can't escape it you're my weakness and you're my vice
In the shadows you're the only highlight (highlight)
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah)
Risky, risky, why you test me?
This is an emergency
Help me, help me, somebody stop me
'Cause I know I can't stop me
(Getting closer and closer)
(When I know I'm in danger)
Need to get away from ya
You're like the devil on my shoulder
Look in my eyes, you'll see the monster stuck inside yourself
I'm touching, you're touching me, no, nothing matters for now
There's no controlling my heart tonight
(I can't stop me, can't stop me, can't stop me) I can't stop me, oh
Oh, I been caught under the spot, spot, spotlight
I wanna cave in to the dark side calling to me
The ending's obvious, I know it's not right
I can't stop me, can't stop me (no, woah-woah) (can't stop me, yeah)
You pull me over to the red, red, red line (hey, you pulled me over)
I can't escape it you're my weakness and you're my vice ('cause I'm your vice)
In the shadows you're the only highlight
I can't stop me, can't stop me (can't stop me, yeah) (no, woah-woah)
I can't stop
I can't stop
Oh, I can't stop me
(I can't stop me, can't stop me)
I can't stop me, yeah (no, woah-woah)
The lyrics to TWICE's "I Can't Stop Me" talk about the internal struggle of knowing that something is wrong and potentially dangerous but being unable to resist it. The beginning of the song has the singer acknowledging that they know they are "crossing the line" yet are unable to stop themselves. As the song progresses, they explain that there is a thrill in this darkness that they can't resist. The song is a warning to oneself, but ultimately they give in and are "out of control." The chorus repeats the title line, expressing the singer's lack of control over their actions.
The song metaphorically illustrates the addictive nature of indulging in something dangerous or risky. The "spotlight" that is watching, and the "red line" that is being crossed, show that there are consequences to these actions, but the thrill of the moment is too much to resist. The lyrics repeat that the singer "can't stop me" showing the internal battle happening and their ultimate lack of control. The bridge of the song has the singer asking for help, that they need someone to stop them because they know they can't stop themselves.
Overall, "I Can't Stop Me" is a song about the internal struggle of self-control when it comes to something that is potentially dangerous. It illustrates how sometimes the allure of the dangerous and exciting is too much to resist, despite knowing the consequences of those actions.
