Stop for a Minute
Keane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel I'm floating high above me
Like I'm looking down upon me
Start sinking, every time I get to thinking
It's easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in
Sometimes I feel like it's all been done
Sometimes I wanna change everything I've ever done
I'm too tired to fight and yet too scared to run
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
I feel like a thief who has no faith
Maybe more than by the grade
Of the drugs he took that day
Sinking, in the pain he's been inflicting
Yet he's feeling like the victim
Just a horoscope's to blame
Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out 'til everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm child
And so wherever you go, I will follow
Ugh, yeah
And baby you are just beautiful
From crown to your cuticles
You held down with two sons
You never frown when duty calls
You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it
Even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females
Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
It's like Eve with the apple
A priest in a chapel
Overcome by the devil's tackle
I'm still shackled in the battle
I know, I'm such a hassle
Every time I let me thoughts go
I get baffled
So I hardly pause
I just crossed z's with these gnarly broads
Cause it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
The stage and the screen where it's just me and Keane
And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
(So I guess I'm just a fiend, consumed by the scene)
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
(The stage and the screen where it's just me and Keane)
The lyrics to Keane's song Stop for a Minute delve into the feelings of disconnection and self-awareness that can sometimes overwhelm a person. The opening verses describe an out-of-body sensation, where the singer feels like they are watching themselves from a distance. They admit that it's easier to keep moving forward than to stop and confront uncomfortable truths. The chorus reveals that the singer feels lost and incomplete without a specific person in their life, and they fear digging too deeply into their emotions because it might reveal something they don't want to know.
The second verse continues with the theme of feeling like an outsider or a victim. The singer compares themselves to a drug user, admitting that they might be causing their own pain but still feeling like it's not entirely their fault. They also express a desire to shout out and make everything quiet, indicating that they might feel overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of this specific person in the singer's life.
Finally, the song features a rap interlude from rapper K'naan. He touches on themes of beauty, responsibility, and addiction, admitting his own struggles as a public figure. Although his verses are focused on his own personal experiences, they still fit with the overall themes of the song. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the importance of connection and the fear of being alone.

@danielmedjedovic7068
same esp be a legend!
I still remember my player career:
first season:
- Lazio: 9 goals
half season
Lazio -> PSG
PSG: 2 goals, I flopped at PSG, got benched barely playtime.
PSG ->Almchendolf (got sent there automaticly)
Won the league, and top scorer, became successful
Almchendolf-> Arsenal (played like 2 seasons at Arsenal, believe won them europa leauge), became a successful player
Arsenal-> Marseille (The best move, played like 3 seasons, top scorer, won the double, tripple two times as well two UCL)
Marseille -> Barca (one season, won league, i think also UCL)
Barca -> Marseille (went back, cuz I miss Marseille and won league, cup and ucl again)
Marseille -> real madrid ( went to real madrid, since I always wanted to play there, number 9 was avaible so I played there like 3 seasons, funny thing that I played with Messi xD PES 2011 had unrealistic transfers) I won everything with real madrid. Its also funny if I didnt score within like 70 min, i got subsitution, while in Marseille, the coach never would sub me out)
real madrid -> Marseille, ( went back to Marseille, winning everything there, played 2 seasons more then stopped playing because I got then Pes 2012)
National side with serbia I won 2 times world cup and 1 euro. I believe world cup was like every 2nd season XD
