Can't Stop
Moneybrother Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't have a lot of trouble
Not at all as I used to, oh no
And lately I've been thinking is it them or is it me
Could it be that I've been changing and become what I wasn't before
Was tired of getting nowhere
Ain't tired of that no more

You can't define what happens
It's just time
That you can't stop

I don't have a lot of trouble
Not at all as I used to, oh no
Lately I've been thinking
Is it all because of me

I've seen it happen to so many other guys
Baby is it happening to me, oh no
Losing touch with my feelings, and getting colder now

You can't define what happens




It's just time
Which you can't stop

Overall Meaning

Moneybrother's song "Can't Stop" is a song that details the transformation of the singer from a troubled, directionless individual to someone who has found a sense of peace within himself. The opening line, "I don't have a lot of trouble, not at all as I used to, oh no," suggests that the singer has previously struggled with various challenges in his life, but he has since overcame those challenges. He then goes on to question whether or not the change he has experienced is a result of his own doing or if it is the result of external factors.


The following lines, "Could it be that I've been changing and become what I wasn't before, was tired of getting nowhere, ain't tired of that no more," suggest that the singer has undergone a personal transformation that has allowed him to move forward in his life. The chorus, "You can't define what happens, it's just time that you can't stop," reinforces this idea that change is inevitable and can't be controlled.


The second verse examines the possibility that the singer is losing touch with his emotions and becoming colder as a result. He questions if this is happening to him or if he is simply observing it happening to other men around him. The final chorus reiterates that change is an inevitable force that can't be controlled or defined.


Overall, "Can't Stop" serves as a reminder that change is an inevitable force in life, and that in order to move forward, one must embrace and accept it.

I don't have a lot of trouble
I have less problems than before


Not at all as I used to, oh no
Things have improved for me


And lately I've been thinking is it them or is it me
I am questioning whether the changes are from me or from others


Could it be that I've been changing and become what I wasn't before
I wonder if I am becoming someone else


Was tired of getting nowhere
I was frustrated with not making progress


Ain't tired of that no more
I am no longer content with staying stuck


You can't define what happens
Life is unpredictable


It's just time
Change happens with the passage of time


That you can't stop
We are powerless in the face of time


Lately I've been thinking
I have been reflecting on my life


Is it all because of me
I am wondering if the changes are solely because of me


I've seen it happen to so many other guys
Other people have experienced the same changes


Baby is it happening to me, oh no
I don't want to become someone I don't recognize


Losing touch with my feelings, and getting colder now
I don't feel as strongly or as deeply as before
