Stop the World
Maxwell(맥스웰) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like the moment has come and I'm gonna get you girl
The shadows are forming across your parts the vision looks absurd
No one around to interrupt the feelings, you stir babe
[Chorus]
Imagine if it was, if this was you, if this was I
So perfectly designed to be here all night
The world stops for me, the world stops for me
And then extraordinary, ordinary things
Things I can't explain, with subtext, the world stops for me
And girl you know just what I mean, I need you girl
Sing me a song, sing it soft, sing it long, girl stop my world, oh
[Chorus]
Someone stop the world, stop it, stop it, stop
Someone, someone stop the world, stop the world
We about to stop the world tonight
We're about to love we ain't got no worries, no battles
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
We about to stop the world, stop the world, stop the world
We about to stop the world tonight
We're about to love we ain't got no worries, no battles
You are my own, yeah
We about to stop the world tonight
Make yourself at home
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
And lay here all night long
We about to stop the world tonight
Oh yeah
The song "Stop The World" by Maxwell is a romantic ballad that speaks to the power of love in stopping and overwhelming the chaotic world around us. The opening lines, "Someone stop the world, yeah/ Seems like the moment has come and I'm gonna get you girl" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is so overcome with his desire for his love interest that he wishes the world would stop so they can be together without any interruptions. He recalls the experience of being with the person he loves, describing their special connection as "extraordinary, ordinary things/ Things I can't explain." He asks his partner to "Sing me a song, sing it soft, sing it long, girl stop my world," emphasizing the transformative power of music and love.
In the chorus, Maxwell sings, "Let the world rage outside, cause when I'm here with you/ The world stops for me, the world stops for me." This encapsulates the feeling of being so wrapped up in a romantic connection that everything else fades away. The repetition of the phrase "someone stop the world" emphasizes the sense of urgency that the singer feels in wanting to be with his love interest. Throughout the song, Maxwell uses metaphor and sensory language to convey the intense emotions of love and desire.
Overall, "Stop The World" is a heartfelt ode to the transformative power of love. It speaks to the idea of finding someone who makes everything else fade away, and the importance of cherishing those moments of connection in the midst of a chaotic world.
