Don't Stop the Music
Marcela Mangabeira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's getting late, I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate, Yeah
Who knew, that you'd be up in here looking like you do?
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't
Do you know what you started? I just came here to party
But now we're rocking on the dance floor, acting naughty
Your hands around my waist, just let the music play
We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music D.J let it play
I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music D.J let it play
I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the Please don't stop the music
Baby are you ready? 'Cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show, Oh
Do you know what you started? I just came here to party
But now we're rocking on the dance floor, acting naughty
Your hands around my waist, just let the music play
We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music D.J let it play
I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music D.J let it play
I just can't refuse it, like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music.
The song "Don't Stop the Music" by Marcela Mangabeira talks about a person who goes to their favorite place to escape and de-stress. When they arrive, they unexpectedly meet someone who catches their attention. The attraction is undeniable, and they end up dancing together all night. The lyrics convey the excitement, passion, and energy of being on the dance floor and enjoying the moment without any inhibitions.
The chorus emphasizes the significance of the music as the driving force behind their connection. The lyrics encourage the DJ to keep playing and not to stop the music because it is what is making them feel alive. There is a sense of urgency in the words, which depicts the intensity of the emotions the singer is feeling - they don't want to stop what is happening because it feels too good.
The song's overall message is to let go and have fun, to let the music take over and to lose yourself in the moment. It also touches on the idea of taking a chance and seizing the opportunity to connect with someone new.
