Taken the wrong way / just fuck your lies and your negativity / or maybe i'll have to
Blame my own naivety / i look around / but what do i see / i try to make a sound /
But i can't find a way to scream / i'm not the one who will follow your rules / take a
Good look, do you like a fool? / just fuck your lies and your negativity / or maybe i'll

Left to say / watch your back because i'll attack / better walk away from me / better
Walk away from me / better walk away from me now
The lyrics to Dead Stop's song "Who's to Blame" express frustration and a sense of being misunderstood. The singer feels like no matter what they do or say, it is always taken the wrong way. The repeated refrain of "just fuck your lies and your negativity" suggests that the singer is dealing with someone who is dishonest and pessimistic. The second verse introduces the idea that maybe the singer is partly to blame for the situation, but they quickly reject this idea and assert their independence: "I'm not the one who will follow your rules."
The chorus of the song is an invitation for the other person to walk away from the singer: "Better walk away from me / 'Cause there ain't nothing left to say / Watch your back because I'll attack / Better walk away from me." This is a warning that if the other person continues to interact with the singer, there will be negative consequences. The song ends with the same refrain, "Better walk away from me now," emphasizing the singer's desire to be left alone.
The overall tone of the song is confrontational and assertive. The singer is standing up for themselves and refusing to tolerate dishonesty and negativity from others. At the same time, there is a sense of sadness and isolation in the lyrics. The singer seems to be struggling to find a way to express themselves and connect with others, despite their anger.
