Stop
DJ Spinna & Mr. Thing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn’t have to be this way
Stop kissing me, turn on the light
I know I’m gonna have to pay
'Cause some maybe missed her (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And you say I'll be a headlong man, and that’s hideous
And something got me stumbling like I’d poke under one
So hey, stop kissing me, 'cause I know I couldn’t treat you right
Stop kissing me I told you alright
It never had to be so bad
From your head to your backbone
I'm gonna make you kiss me, well
I made a mixture (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And I know I’ve done something bad (oh yeah yeah yeah)
And quaking in your boots, and you're carrying on
'cause you don’t know what's happening when the kissings begun
So hey, stop kissing me, 'cause you know I couldn’t treat you right
'cause you know I couldn’t treat you right
Well you made a mixture (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And I know I’ve done something bad, oh oh oh
And quaking in your boots, with your carrying on
Why such a big mistake, I felt the kissing is gone
So hey, stop kissing me 'cause you know I couldn't treat you right
So hey, stop kissing me 'cause you know I couldn't treat you
So hey, stop kissing me 'cause you know I couldn't
Woaaaahaahao
The lyrics of DJ Spinna & Mr. Thing's song "Stop" tell a story of a person who is asking their partner to stop kissing them because they know they cannot treat them right. The singer seems to be aware of the toxic dynamic they have with their partner and tries to break it by asking them to stop. However, their partner persists and keeps kissing them, even though the singer knows it will lead to more pain and hurt. The song is a plea for the partner to stop and break the cycle of abuse, but it is also an acknowledgement of the singer's own flaws and shortcomings.
The lyrics are rich with metaphor and imagery that convey the complexity of the situation. For example, the line "From your head to your backbone, I'm gonna make you kiss me" suggests that the singer has some kind of power over their partner, but it is not clear what that power is or whether it is healthy or not. Similarly, the line "And something got me stumbling like I'd poke under one" is cryptic but evocative, suggesting that the singer is feeling disoriented and uncertain about their own actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Stop" are a powerful commentary on the dynamics of abusive relationships and the difficulty of breaking free from them. The song is a reminder that it is important to recognize and confront toxic behaviors, even when it is difficult, and that healing and growth are possible with the right support.
