Rules don't stop
■We Are Scientists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not the end of the world
If we're breaking the rules it's fine
I disregard this kind of problem all the time
It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone
If there's no victim then there's no crime
Just draw another if you think we've crossed the line
Forget about it
Rules don't stop me
We'll get around it
Rules don't stop me
Forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Although it may seem unconventional sometimes
Indiscretion is worth a try
If you just play along I promise we'll be fine
So leave your hang-ups back at the door
When you and I are down on the floor
Will you know what to do about it
You know what to do about it
Rules don't stop me
Forget about it
Rules don't stop me
We'll get around it
Rules don't stop me
Forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
It's not as bad as they say
If this is such a mistake
Why does it seem to make you so damn happy?
This is no time to behave
Let's both get carried away
If there's a price to be paid
It won't stop me
Rules don't stop me
Forget about it
Rules don't stop me
We'll get around it
Rules don't stop me
Forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
They don't stop me, they don't stop me
The lyrics to "Rules Don't Stop" by We Are Scientists explore the idea of breaking rules and living in the moment without fear of consequence. The first verse sets the tone by reassuring the listener that breaking the rules is not the end of the world and that it's okay to occasionally disregard them. The singer encourages the listener to see that if no one is hurt by the rule breaking, then it's not really a crime. The chorus repeats the phrase "Rules don't stop me" as a defiant declaration that breaking the rules won't hold them back from having a good time.
The second verse continues the theme by suggesting that sometimes living a bit recklessly and breaking the rules is worth it. They urge the listener to leave their reservations behind and take part in the moment, even if it means breaking the rules. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that nothing will stop them from having fun, even if it means stepping outside the boundaries of what's considered socially acceptable.
Overall, the song presents a carefree and rebellious attitude towards following societal rules, suggesting that sometimes it's important to disregard them in pursuit of living in the moment and having fun.

I will not be deterred by the consequences
They don't stop me
Rules do not hinder my actions
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Do not let the rules limit us

Wellll they are self aware but Alyx gave us a reason to look forward into the future. SPOILER FOR HALF LIFE ALYX DO NOT CLICK READ MORE.
The end after the credits showed us Gordon grabbing the crowbar.... WE CAN HAVE HOPE!
@lemo8986
lowkey i think this is Valve's way of teasing a sequel to a game.
Dota 3? Nah, Dota 2 is still making bucks
Half-Life? Just got Alyx, nah
Team Fortress 3? Maybe, TF2 hasnt had an update for 4 years so they could be working on it
Left-4-Dead? Sold and a new franchise in the same universe just came out
Counter-Strike: 3? Maybe, but CS:GO is still rolling in cash
Portal 3? Probably, Portal hasnt had a game for 7 years and P2 was the most highly rated game in gaming history
Or maybe....
Steam 2: This time with more sales

Sorry, go to work
There are several reasons why you cannot play this game for a variety of reasons.
Why are you bothering me;
I spent all day in the studio.
I have everything, but try something new

Between ruler and instrument
I decided to rust on the walls!
No one except me saw the miracle.
The soul has no freedom at all.
So again I forgot the special season.
I hope half, Alex

Great character
It’s hard to start from scratch.
While the others waited
Another work!
This machine is almost dead
Maybe it's over
So standard
Show me the three rules!
The valve is closed

But a few years later
We will not take action
The engine is running

Stop being lazy.
Look at the truck!
We are working
Good baby!
This is the time to learn.

Imagine if Valve just released all of their third sequels one day with no build up, advertising, or teasers.

Yeah they don’t really need a new tf2 cause the art style holds up to this day, but to be fair the engine is still very old
