Can't Stop
JES & Ronski Speed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before it all comes down
And I try
But I can't leave you behind
Your ... told me all
I need to know
I lost control
And now it just overflows
There's only so much my heart can take
I'm a prisoner in your cage
I'm a runaway
I can't stop
I can't stop, it's coming
And I can't stop
I can't stop the feeling
I can't stop
I can't stop the loving
And I can't stop
I can't stop, I can't stop
There’s no holding back
We're running out on the edge
This time
But when ...
I'm consumed with inbetween (?)
When we're standing face to face
There's only so much my heart can take
You're my reason, you're my ...
I'm a sacrifice
I'm a runaway
I can't stop
I can't stop what's coming
And I can't stop
I can't stop what I'm feeling
I can't stop
I can't stop the loving
And I can't stop
I can't stop, I can't stop
I can't stop
In "Can't Stop," JES and Ronski Speed present a complex reflection on the overwhelming emotions that love can evoke. The song opens with JES contemplating leaving town to avoid potential heartbreak. However, she acknowledges that she cannot leave her lover behind, and when they are together, her heart overflows with emotion, leaving her feeling like a prisoner in their relationship. JES and Ronski Speed gradually build up to a chorus that emphasizes their inability to stop feeling the intense love that consumes them, regardless of the risks involved.
The second verse further explores the intensity of their emotions by highlighting the adrenaline rush that comes with taking risks in love. JES is fully committed to her lover, even though this means exposing herself to vulnerability and sacrifice. The song's message emphasizes the idea that love is powerful and all-consuming, even if it defies rationality or logic. "Can't Stop" is an apt representation of the type of enduring love that creates a sense of emotional entrapment.

I should leave this town
I need to escape this place
Before it all comes down
Before everything falls apart
And I try
I attempt to escape
But I can't leave you behind
But I'm unable to leave you
Your ... told me all
Your presence gave me knowledge
I need to know
Which helped me gain understanding
I lost control
I've lost my grip on reality
And now it just overflows
And now emotions are overwhelming me
When we're standing face to face
When we're in close proximity
There's only so much my heart can take
I'm reaching my emotional limit
I'm a prisoner in your cage
You have control over me
I'm a runaway
I am trying to escape
I can't stop
I am unable to halt
I can't stop, it's coming
I am powerless to stop what's ahead
I can't stop the feeling
I am unable to suppress my emotions
I can't stop the loving
I cannot stop my love for you
And I can't stop
I am powerless
I can't stop, I can't stop
I am completely powerless
There's no holding back
I cannot restrain myself
We're running out on the edge
We are taking risks
This time
Right now
But when ...
But when confronted with uncertainty
I'm consumed with inbetween (?)
I am disturbed by the unknown
You're my reason, you're my ...
You are the reason for my actions
I'm a sacrifice
I am giving up things for you
