You Can't Stop The Girl
Bebe Rexha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They tryna pull their wings off
So, they can't fly
And, oh, but she's so brave, though
Just like a tornado
She's taking us by storm
You can't stop the girl from going
The truth will set you free, oh
You can't stop the girl from going
You can't stop the world from knowing
The truth will set you free, oh
You can't stop the girl
They tryna take our voices
They tryna make our choices
So we scream loud, loud, loud
And, oh, I know you feel the lightnin'
And it's so excitin'
So, here we come
You can't stop the girl from going
You can't stop the world from knowing
The truth will set you free, oh
You can't stop the girl from going
You can't stop the world from knowing
The truth will set you free, oh
You can't stop the girl
You can't stop the girl
You can't stop the girl
No, you can't stop the girl
Oh, I know you feel the lightnin'
And, it's so excitin'
So, here we come
It's good enough for right now
The lyrics to Bebe Rexha's song You Can't Stop The Girl express a message of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. The song suggests that there are individuals or systems in the world that attempt to limit the potential and voices of others, but they cannot succeed. The lines "Oh, they tryna shoot down angels, They tryna pull their wings off, So, they can't fly," could be interpreted as an allegory for people who try to limit the potential of others, to keep them from soaring or achieving their goals.
However, the lyrics express the sentiment that the brave individual, represented in the song as a girl, still persists, even in the face of such challenges. The chorus, "You can't stop the girl from going, You can't stop the world from knowing, The truth will set you free, oh," suggests that the truth will prevail, and no harmful intentions or restrictions can prevent it from shining. The girl in the song is represented as a force of nature, like a "tornado," who takes the world by storm with her resilience and bravery.
The lines "They tryna take our voices, They tryna make our choices, So we scream loud, loud, loud," suggest a similar sentiment to the previous lyrics. They could mean that society or influential individuals could limit the choices and decisions of people or restrict their voices, but some people refuse to be silenced. The girl in the song, in this respect, is seen as a rebel figure against society's limitations, with the chorus reinforcing the belief that the truth and the girl's voice will always be heard.
