YOU CAN'T STOP ME
(Corbalan Prudant, Ceruti, Del Vecchio)

And old man once told me long ago
there is no sense in going back to what you know
I've always found It hard to let go
to stop to quit to move on face the great unknown
U, Tried to push me down
tried to cut me out
tried to hide who I am

You can't stop me
I'm not backing down
Now I rise to heights I've never seen
never dreamt of cause I couldn't see
You can't stop me
can't control me now
Now I shine like a diamond in the sky
with this to song to you I say goodbye
I say goodbye

Was always stuck just waiting for signs
Not cause, too weak
A slave to you jailer of souls

U, Tried to push me down
tried to cut me out
tried to hide who I am

You can't stop me
I'm not backing down
Now I rise to heights I've never seen
never dreamt of cause I couldn't see
You can't stop me
can't control me now
Now I shine like a diamond in the sky
with this to song to you I say goodbye
I say goodbye

You can't stop me
I'm not backing down.. no.

You can't stop me
I'm not backing down
Now I rise to heights I've never seen
never dreamt of cause I couldn't see
You can't stop me
can't control me now
Now I shine like a diamond in the sky




with this to song to you I say goodbye
I say goodbye

Overall Meaning

The song "You Can't Stop Me" by Maze is a motivational and defiant track encouraging the listener to keep pushing forward and not let anyone else dictate their path in life. The lyrics touch on themes of letting go of the past and not being held back by those who try to control or limit them.


The opening lines reveal the advice an old man gave the singer, telling them that there's no point in going back to what they know. This could be interpreted as a message to try new things and not get stuck in old patterns. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has struggled with letting go of the past but now feels empowered to move on and face the unknown.


The chorus of the song is the most repetitive section and emphasizes the message of defiance in the face of obstacles. The phrase "You can't stop me" is repeated several times, reminding the listener that no one has the power to control their destiny. The song ends with the singer saying goodbye and shining like a diamond in the sky, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for finally reaching their full potential and breaking free from limitations.

When You Love Someone"

What about my heart
What about the feelings I feel Inside
That I can not hide
Do I just give in
Or do I pretend that she's not there
As if I didn't care

You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
When you love someone

What I'm I to do
To think I could lose your love
I just couldn't bear
Didn't know it could
I never thought it would go this far
It just isn't fair

You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
When you love someone

I could be wrong maybe it's true
You fall in love and you don't know what to do
Caught in the middle believe me it's real
And I just can't help the way that I feel

You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
You can't tell me it ain't right
When you love someone

We TOOK SO much of this REAL MUSIC for granted....BRING IT BACK PLZZZZ!

Ladi Bias

I honestly didn't think it would go as far as it did. That was totally unexpected, I couldn't break free. It's been more than thirty years and I still love him although we aren't together. If he shows up today I would drop everything and run to his arms.

Kendell Taylor

This is by far my very favorite Maze song, because the lyrics have so much meaning and when Frankie adds his mellow voice the words just seem to pulsate your Heart and Soul...

Andre Caldwell

Almost aren't any words for how this song makes you feel. It can change everytime you hear it.
