Stop
B. R. M. C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Green light, go
Yellow, go
Always, go
I can't stop going to the forward direction (I can't stop, can't stop, can't stop)
My breaks are broken and I'm ready to die (I can't stop going when I'm on the street)
Coming soon to all theaters near you
My death
To all theaters near you
My death (I can't stop, can't stop)
My death (Can't stop)
Dr. Mark told me to go to Webster bank
Withdraw thirty-seven dollars exactly (Rite-aid)
But ATMs can't take out thirty-seven
But he said if it's not thirty-seven I'll commit
Suicide
My brakes would break and I would die
My brakes would break and I would die
Die (Gon getcha)
I can't breathe my
Suplexin man told me that I' dead
Frozen feature of the week
Wow, wow
I can't stop, I can't stop freezing in position
My brain hurts
With this disposition (Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop, can't stop)
All these guys coming into my lawn
I have no choice but to shoot them (Waiting for the baby to come)
With my second amendment rights (Grrr)
Can't stop, the only way to stop is by
Giving teachers guns
Cuz then, so then
They could shoot all the kids and stop all school shootings
Cuz all the kids would be dead
The only way to stop school shootings
Is arming the teachers
So they can kill the kids
And stop school shootings (Kill the kids)
Arm the kids, arm the kids
Nope you're wrong
Arm the teachers so they can kill the kids
So we can stop all school shooters (Kill, kill)
Kill the kids (Kill the teachers)
Nope, you're wrong (Kill, kill)
Waiting for the baby to come (kill the kids)
Nope, you're wrong (Kill, kill the kids)
What are you, some type of snowflake thinking all the guns should go to the kids? (Kill Kill, kill)
The kids don't deserve them
It requires a man of a larger doctorate (I can't stop, can't stop, can't stop)
That can kill a child with his hands
His bare hands
He's gonna strangle the kids with his throat to the neck and
Then his hands to the face and...
And it's gonna be... Oooh it's gonna be good
It's gonna be a little moist (He's gonna hang himself with his own intestines)
And-and it's gonna be a little moist (he's gonna hang himself with his own intestines)
And it's gonna be a little bloody and it's gonna be a little moist
And it's gonna be a little bloody and it's gonna smell like cream
All different types of cream
There's gonna be seven-thousand types of cream on his fingernails afterwards (Nanananananana)
Underneath his fingernails is all the dead kids
Every last one of them
Every one (For the baby to come)
Arm the teachers so they can kill the kids (I can't stop, can't stop, can't stop)
Arm the teachers so they can kill the kids (Baby's gonna come soon)
The lyrics to BRMC's song "Stop" are enigmatic and meandering, but seem to touch on themes of violence, death, and desperation. The song begins with a disjointed series of traffic signals and contradictory directions to stop and go. The singer seems to be struggling to control their movement and is resigned to an inevitable fate, possibly death. The lyrics jump from scene to scene, referencing a doctor's instruction to withdraw money from a bank, violence against intruders on a lawn, suplex wrestling moves, and finally, the controversial suggestion of arming teachers to prevent school shootings.
The repeated phrase "I can't stop" appears throughout the song, giving it a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer seems to be trapped in a cycle of violence and fear, with no clear way out. The lyrics are fragmented and shifting, making it difficult to discern a clear narrative or message. However, the repetition of certain phrases and images, such as "my brakes would break and I would die," "waiting for the baby to come," and "arm the teachers so they can kill the kids," lend a disturbing and haunting quality to the song.
In summary, "Stop" is a dark and unsettling song that touches on themes of violence, death, and desperation. It uses disjointed and fragmented lyrics to create a disorienting and haunting atmosphere. The singer seems to be struggling with an overwhelming sense of fear and helplessness, unable to break free from a cycle of violence and tragedy.

Intruders are approaching my house, leaving me no option but to shoot them dead with my second amendment rights, even though I'm presenting an aggressive attitude

The only way to prevent school shootings is to arm the teachers so they can shoot all the kids involved, eliminating the threat and effectively stopping the shootings
Arm the kids, arm the kids Nope you're wrong Arm the teachers so they can kill the kids So we can stop all school shooters (Kill, kill)
Giving guns to kids is not the solution, instead we need to arm the teachers so they can shoot all the kids involved and stop all school shootings

Mockingly questioning someone who thinks kids should have guns, I argue that it takes a person with great expertise to kill a child with their bare hands, and describe in detail how the killer will strangle the child and make a bloody mess of the situation, with multiple types of cream present which would indicate murder
Arm the teachers so they can kill the kids (I can't stop, can't stop, can't stop) Arm the teachers so they can kill the kids (Baby's gonna come soon)
Repeatedly stating the idea to arm teachers so they can kill kids and showing a sense of urgency about it as the baby is coming soon

We don't like you, we just wanna try you
I'm tired of running, the feeling ain't coming
This all could be simpler, it all could be simpler
But all this is sickness, the feeling ain't in this
'Cause we don't know where to stop
We don't know where to stop
I try and I try but I can't get enough
I won't fail you, you won't bleed for me
Have I been sinful, have I been sinful
It's all been for nothing, your good ain't for nothing
It's hard not to die when your time has been killed off
But I have been grateful you know this could take hold
We don't know where to stop
We don't know where to stop
I try and I try but I can't get enough
I won't fail you, you won't bleed for me
Try keep your head up high
Time burns so deep inside you, rips your throat out
We don't like you, we just wanna try you
I'm tired of running, the feeling ain't coming
This all could be different, it all could be different
But all this is sickness, the feeling ain't in this

'Cause we don't know where to stop
We don't know where to stop
I try and I try but I can't get enough
I won't fail you, you won't bleed for me
