Stop
Rose Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No light in the dark
No words for the silence
No peace to be found
You take my breath away
You take my love away
Take all that's left of me
How do I stop?
Stop the bleeding
How do I stop?
Stop the needing
How do I stop?
Stop repeating
The cycle
The cycle of sabotage
Love shouldn't be this hard
Whenever I get this far
Repeating the cycle, the cycle
Pain is at my window
The storm is at my door
Your sorry is my weakness
Leaves me wanting more
You take my breath away
You take my love away
Take all the best of me
How do I stop?
Stop the bleeding
How do I stop?
Stop the needing
How do I stop?
Stop repeating
The cycle
The cycle of sabotage
Love shouldn't be this hard
Whenever I get this far
Repeating the cycle, the cycle
Open the blinds
Life is there on the other side
No darkness
Heaven knows my heart
Oh, step in the wind
Let it fill all the emptiness
Mornings coming soon
How do I stop?
Stop the bleeding
How do I stop?
Stop the needing
How do I stop?
Stop repeating
The cycle
The cycle
How do I stop?
Stop the bleeding
How do I stop?
Stop the needing
How do I stop?
Stop repeating
The cycle
The cycle
The lyrics to the song "Stop" by Rose Rose have a dreamlike quality to them, with disjointed phrases and seemingly disconnected images that come together to create a mood rather than a narrative. The repeated refrain of "Isn't it funny how you shine?" adds to this surreal feeling, as if the singer is caught up in a moment of unexpected beauty or wonder.
The first verse sets the stage with an image of sea spray and a woman who is fishing, perhaps suggesting a coastal setting. The line "We're under the ship so get me over" is more difficult to interpret, but it could refer to being lifted up out of the water or rising above a difficult situation.
The second verse shifts to a more introspective tone, with the singer addressing someone as an "imbecile" and expressing a sense of confusion and melancholy. The line "Pain blues singer" suggests that the singer is experiencing some sort of emotional or psychological pain, while the reference to someone playing "just a guitar" could be seen as a commentary on the limitations of creative expression.

If you close your eyes and listen to her voice, you would think that she was a beautiful 50-60 year old woman singing the blues❤❤ but she’s a young beautiful woman with a fantastic voice
