Stop
Mr Twin Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little did I think that you'd be doing the same for me,
For me
Where this goes I'm trailing behind cause
I can't tell myself to stop
To stop to feel
Feel if I like it
I keep telling myself to stop
I hear it ringing
I keep telling myself to stop
Am I already with you oh what do we do now?
Some day it's all over
Will I remember the scenery then?
The stampede we will all part from
So close to my skeleton
Maybe it's foolish to wanna be alone
I keep telling myself to stop
To stop and feel
Feel if I like it
The lyrics of the song "Stop" by Mr Twin Sister express the feeling of uncertainty and hesitation that one might feel when they are falling in love. The singer is in a foreign place and reflects on how they gave up their trials to be with someone, who did the same for them. However, they are still unsure of how they feel about this person and where this relationship is headed. The line "Where this goes I'm trailing behind cause I can't tell myself to stop" indicates the singer's reluctance to give in to their feelings and let themselves be vulnerable.
The chorus of the song highlights the internal struggle that the singer is going through, where they keep telling themselves to "stop" but cannot control their feelings. There is a sense of urgency and confusion in the lyric "Am I already with you oh what do we do now?" which conveys the overwhelming feeling that comes with falling for someone.
Towards the end of the song, the singer contemplates the transience of life and wonders if they will remember this moment when it is all over. The line "The stampede we will all part from, so close to my skeleton" brings a sense of finality and acceptance that everything must come to an end, including this relationship. However, the final lines of the song indicate that despite the uncertainty and inevitability of it all, the singer still wants to feel and explore their emotions.
