"Dans ce rock cubiste, concassé, défoncé de breaks et riffs cosmiques, ils n’ont aujourd’hui de leçons à recevoir de personne : leur impatience, leur boulimie et leur frénésie sont désormais leurs seuls mentors."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beat it
And it's closing time
And it's closing time
You got that something i need
Aren't you proud enough
And now i follow my creed
Am I precious enough
Aren't you strong enough
Aren't you strong enough
Won't you ever stand back
Oh I'm down on my knees do you feel things inside
Won't you ever stand back
'Cause you're feeling so good while I'm bleeding so bad
Give it to me
Beat it
And it's closing time
And it's closing time
You got that something I need
Aren't you proud enough
And now I follow my creed
Am I precious enough
You got that something i need
Aren't you strong enough
Aren't you strong enough
Won't you ever stand back
Oh I'm down on my knees do you feel things inside
Won't you ever stand back
'Cause you're feeling so good while I'm bleeding so bad
I'm running so mad
Stand back stand back stand back
Won't you ever stand back

The lyrics of "Stand Back" by Hyphen Hyphen convey a sense of desperation and longing for validation from someone else. The repeated line, "You got that something I need, aren't you strong enough?" suggests a yearning for someone who possesses qualities the singer lacks. The phrase "Aren't you proud enough, and now I follow my creed, am I precious enough" reveals a deep insecurity and a desire for acceptance.
The chorus, "Won't you ever stand back, 'cause you're feeling so good while I'm bleeding so bad," expresses a feeling of being left behind or overshadowed by someone else's success or happiness. The imagery of being on one's knees and feeling things inside suggests emotional vulnerability and a sense of being at the mercy of the other person's actions or emotions.
The repetition of "Stand back" in the chorus seems to imply a plea for the person to step back and consider the effect they have on the singer. The final lines, "Why won't you... won't you ever stand back" reflect a longing for the person to acknowledge and understand the pain they are causing.
Overall, "Stand Back" explores themes of yearning for validation, insecurities, and the complex dynamics of relationships where one person holds power over the other.

Give it to me
Provide what I desire
Beat it
Keep moving and don't bother me
And it's closing time
The end is approaching
You got that something I need
You possess a quality that I require
Aren't you proud enough
Don't you have enough confidence
And now I follow my creed
I am adhering to my principles
Am I precious enough
Do I hold enough value
Won't you ever stand back
Can't you just give me some space
Oh I'm down on my knees do you feel things inside
I am pleading and hoping you empathize
'Cause you're feeling so good while I'm bleeding so bad
While you are enjoying, I am suffering greatly
I'm running so mad
I am becoming extremely frantic
Stand back stand back stand back
Keep your distance
Why won't you why won't you won't you ever stand back...
I am questioning why you refuse to give me space
