Stop
D'Still'D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is loadedIt's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
No one. . .No one! No way!
Gonna stop, now; Go!
Farm people, book wavers, soul savers, love preachers!
Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had done
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had doneHurrah!
And the water will run. . .Will run!
Will run! Gimme that!
Gimme that - your automobile
Turn off that smokestack and that goddamn radio
Hum along with me, hum along with the T.V.
A-A-A-A-M-M-M-M-M-M.
No one's gonna stop!
The lyrics to D'Still'D's song 'Stop' are a commentary on the state of the world and the need to take action. The opening line, "Save the complaints for a party conversation," suggests that the singer is tired of hearing people complain about the world without doing anything to change it. The next line, "The world is loaded," implies that there is a lot of potential for change and action, but it is not being realized. The line "It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop" can be interpreted as a call to action, encouraging listeners to take matters into their own hands.
The repetition of "No one. . .No one! No way!" adds emphasis to the idea that nobody can or should try to stop the movement towards change. The singer then lists various groups of people, including farm people, book wavers, soul savers, and love preachers, who are all "lit to pop" and ready for change. The line "One come a day, the water will run" suggests that change is inevitable, and the following line "No man will stand for things that he had done" implies that people will be held accountable for their actions.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of change, with the repeated line "And the water will run. . .Will run! Will run! Gimme that!" The verses encourage listeners to take action by turning off their automobiles and smokestacks, and by humming along with the TV. The final line, "No one's gonna stop!" is a triumphant declaration that change is coming and nobody can stand in its way.
