Stop
Dewald Wasserfall Lyrics

The lyrics of Dewald Wasserfall's song "Stop" describes the process of moving on and letting go. The singer seems to have gone through a difficult breakup and has finally decided to cut the other person out of their life. The first few lines, "Ek het jou vir altyd/Uit my hart uit gesny/Ek het jou vergewe/Maar ek lewe nou vir my" translates to "I've cut you out of my heart forever/I've forgiven you/But I'm living for myself now." This indicates that the singer is focusing on themselves and moving on from the past.

The singer then acknowledges that they have tried to understand the other person but they have been hurt too many times and now must let go. The line, "Ek het soveel probeer/Verbeter, ek weet verseker/Jy’s ’n fout" translates to "I've tried so much to improve/But I know for sure that you are a mistake." The singer is coming to terms with the fact that the other person is not good for them and they must move on.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "Hou op om my hart te laat stop" or "Stop making my heart stop," which emphasizes the idea that the other person's influence is harmful and must be removed from the singer's life. The last two lines, "Jou obsessie met my/Gaan maak dat iemand anders hier seer gaan kry" or "Your obsession with me/Will make someone else here hurt" suggest that the other person's attachment is unhealthy and will cause harm to them and others.

Overall, the song expresses the idea that sometimes it is necessary to let go of someone who is not good for us in order to move on and live a happier life.
