Stop
Overhood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was surrounded by barbed wire
I used to hide used to lose every desire
I always liked to climb fences
Dig in the dirt
Sit with my buddies on the curb
And I used to always see that girl
Walking by the stoop
As an adult I had to start to work
First time in my life I felt like a jerk
Can't move
I feel so feeble
The commuter train is filled up with people
All the heads moving like buoys in the see
And I am waiting for the sky to fall down on me
The train stops
The commuters get out
Got a sinkin' feeling
Don't know what it's about
Now I am a man
I just made a small step
I wrote a few songs
And changed my whole rep
I'll never forget about the childhood curb
Climbing fences, digging holes in the dirt
A few songs later
A few records more
Sitting by the window
I feel my brain's sore
Is my pulse knocking ?
Or is that the door?
Put my feet on the floor
Think it's time to go
The doors are breaking
The windows are gone
The foundation's now shaking
The jacket's on wrong
Makes no difference
I don't give a fuck
I feel it here, the gig, I feel it now
I am a man
And I need land
My feet to feel solid ground where I stand
The train stops
I gotta get out
I don't know what it is about! X3
The train stops
I gotta get the fuck out
(Policeman)
Unit 23 requesting immediate backup
We need helicopter and ground support
Within a three mile radius
Of 12 and 108 street
I'm surrounded by some.. I don't know
10 000 rowdy people of various ages
This could be a riot or at least turn into one
But actually, I heard something about
A group called OVERHOOD
Performing some gig tonight
I'll need that backup fast the mob is multiplying
Backup immediately
I need backup, fast
Break down
The lyrics of Overhood's "Stop" tell the story of the journey of a person from childhood to adulthood. The first stanza starts with the memories of the singer's childhood, where he talks about how he was always surrounded by barbed wires and had lost all his desire to live. However, he found joy in climbing fences, digging in the dirt and hanging out with friends on the curb. He also remembers seeing a girl who used to walk by the stoop, and he particularly likes her skirt.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about transitioning into adulthood, and how he had to start working, feeling like a jerk at his workplace. He describes commuting on a train, surrounded by people whose heads move like buoys in the sea, and waiting for the sky to fall on him. When the train stops, he feels a sinking feeling, but he doesn't know what it's about.
The last stanza has the singer in a contemplative mood as he reflects on his current situation. He is now a man who has written a few songs and recorded some records but still remembers his childhood joy of climbing fences and digging in dirt. He feels a pulse knocking or is it the door? The doors are breaking, and the windows are gone, the foundation's shaking, and the jacket is on wrong. It's a chaotic scene, but he doesn't care anymore because he has found what he was looking for, and he feels alive.
Overall, the song tells the story of a person's journey, the struggles they faced, and the realization that we should never forget our roots.
