Can't Stop
Deepjack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I can′t stop thinking about moments that I lost to you
And I can't stop thinking about things I used to do
And I can′t stop making bad decisions
And I can't stop eating stuff you make me chew
I put on a smile that you wanna see
Another day goes by that I long to be like you

And I can't stop making bad decisions

And I can′t stop eating stuff you make me chew
I put on a smile that you wanna see
Another day goes by that I long to be like you

And I can′t stop, can't stop making
Can′t stop, can't stop
Can′t stop, can't stop shaking
Can′t stop, can't stop
Can't stop

And I can′t stop thinking about moments that I lost to you
And I can′t stop thinking about things I used to do
And I can't stop making bad decisions
And I can′t stop eating stuff you make me chew
I put on a smile that you wanna see
Another day goes by that I long to be like you
I want to be like you

And I can't stop, can′t stop making
Can't stop, can′t stop
Can't stop, can't stop shaking

Can′t stop, can′t stop
And I can't stop

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deepjack's song "Can't Stop" convey a sense of longing and regret for a past relationship. The singer is unable to move on from the memories they shared with their ex-partner, and they continue to make bad decisions and eat food that reminds them of the time they spent together. The line "I put on a smile that you wanna see" suggests that the singer is still trying to please their ex, perhaps in the hope of winning them back.

The repetition of the phrase "I can't stop" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's inability to break free from this cycle of nostalgia and self-destructive behavior. The line "Another day goes by that I long to be like you" suggests that the singer is idealizing their ex, perhaps even to the point of wishing to emulate them. The use of the word "shake" in the final chorus adds a sense of urgency and desperation to the song, as if the singer is struggling to keep themselves together in the face of their unresolved feelings.

Overall, "Can't Stop" is a poignant reflection on the lingering hold of past relationships, and the difficulty of moving on when memories and regrets continue to haunt us.
