Stop
Sibel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Us two, it's nothing but all good
You say we're right for each other
So why can't you make up your mind?
Please no "don't know"s, please there's no "maybe"s
I don't want these loose ends no more, uh-oh
I'm sick of explanations, special reasons, excuses and lies
So just stop, stop, stop pretending; make up your mind
So just stop, stop – or I'm suspending; make up your mind
I don't want anything to do, to do with you if you can't promise me
So just stop, stop, stop pretending; I'm telling you to stop
I know I'm not stupid, that you need your only privacy
You should know by now that I've got a life on my own
I know you like things, just like they are, but I can't do this no more
So sick of explanations, special reasons, excuses and lies
So just stop, stop, stop pretending; make up your mind
So just stop, stop – or I'm suspending; make up your mind
I don't want anything to do, to do with you if you can't promise me
So just stop, stop, stop pretending; I'm telling you to stop
Ooh yeah
Why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya stop?
Why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya stop?
Why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya stop, stop, stop?
You say that you're afraid of commitment, yeah
You mean our history is never ending date, too late
Stop, (stop, stop, stop pretending; make up your mind)
So just stop, stop, stop – or I'm suspending; make up your mind
I don't want anything to do, to do (with you if you can't promise me)
Yeah, yeah, (So just stop, stop, stop pretending);
Oh, I'm telling you to stop
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
The song "Stop" by Sibel is a plea to a partner who can't seem to make up their mind about the relationship. The singer finds their partner to be "perfect" and acknowledges that their relationship is "nothing but all good" but is frustrated by their partner's indecisiveness. The singer pleads with their partner to stop pretending and make a decision, as they are tired of the explanations, special reasons, excuses, and lies that come with the ambiguity of their relationship. The singer makes it clear that they do not want to continue in a relationship with uncertainty and asks their partner to promise them that they will stop pretending.
The lyrics suggest a level of frustration and desperation on the part of the singer. They want a clear answer from their partner and are tired of the uncertainty that comes with not knowing where they stand. The repeated refrain of "stop, stop, stop" emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the singer's desire for resolution. While the specifics of the relationship are left unclear, the song captures the emotional depth of wanting to be with someone who can't commit.
