Stop
Mega City Four Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Stop"
The further away I get
The sharper are the lines
You need some distance
To help you redefine
The harder I look at you
The less you disappoint
I realize no one's to blame
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
For something so important
It's so little
Think about the things you value
And not about the cost
You've gotta get things into perspective
Without it you are lost
They say actions speak louder than words
Whoever they may be
Probably the one's who'll break your back
To bolster up their insecurity
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
For something so important
It's so little
Reach down inside
Swallow your pride
Don't be afraid
Forgiveness is a virtue
Not a crime
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
You might hear something you're missing
Stop and listen
For something so important




It's so little
So little...

Overall Meaning

The song "Stop" by Mega City Four encourages the listener to take a step back and gain some distance from a situation to gain a new perspective. The opening lines, "The further away I get, the sharper are the lines," suggest that clarity comes with distance. It's easy to get caught up in a situation and lose sight of what's important, but by taking a breath, we can re-evaluate and redefine things. The second line, "You need some distance to help you redefine," reinforces this idea of taking a step back.


The chorus of the song, "Stop and listen, you might hear something you're missing," also emphasizes the importance of slowing down and taking notice of what's going on around you. We're reminded that it's easy to miss small details that could be crucial in making an informed decision or understanding a situation.


The lyrics "For something so important, it's so little" suggest that sometimes the most crucial aspects of a situation can be overlooked, seemingly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Mega City Four urges us to think about the things we value and not just the cost. They also remind us that forgiveness is important and not something to be afraid of.


Overall, "Stop" is a song about gaining perspective, taking a step back, and really listening to what's going on around us. It's a reminder that sometimes the smallest details can make the biggest impact, and that forgiveness and understanding can help us move forward.
