Cut Copy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing that can hold them together
Fever is passing over me
Changing my outlook forever
The lyrics of "Stop" by Cut Copy convey a feeling of change and transformation. The first verse establishes a sense of impermanence and the temporal nature of life as the leaves fall from the trees. This imagery is a metaphor for the inevitability of change and how nothing in life can remain static. The second line of this verse suggests that there is no force that can hold the leaves together, an allusion to how individual experiences and changes can cause people to drift apart. The second verse describes a feeling of physical illness, with a fever passing over the singer. However, this illness has more to do with the internal transformation and shift in perspective than a physical ailment. The use of the word "forever" in the final line of the verse emphasizes the permanent nature of this internal change.
Overall, "Stop" is a song about letting go of the past and embracing the unknown, with the lyrics mirroring the music. The upbeat, driving synth-pop track creates a sense of momentum and energy, while the lyrics suggest that change and uncertainty can be invigorating and transformative.
Line by Line Meaning
See the leaves falling on the trees
Observing the seasonal shedding of leaves from trees
Nothing that can hold them together
No force able to stop or control the falling leaves
Fever is passing over me
Experiencing a feverish illness which is temporary
Changing my outlook forever
This experience has a profound and long-lasting impact on one's perspective or worldview
