Skegss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not scared to live my life
I'm glad you let me
But I swear I should be dead already
I just tend to live my life
I'm glad you let me
I'm going to everywhere
I'm going to everywhere
Even if the light is red
Even if the light is red
Even if the light is red
I'm not stopping
I swear I should be dead already
I'm not scared to live my life
I'm glad you let me
But I swear I should be dead already
I just tend to live my life
I'm glad you let me
I'm going to everywhere
I'm going to anywhere
I'm going to everywhere
Even if the light's red
Even if the light's red
Even if the light's red
I'm not stopping
I'm not stopping
I'm not stopping
I'm not stopping
The lyrics to Skegss's song Stop express a sense of gratitude for living life to the fullest, despite the singer's feeling that they should have died already. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song suggests the singer's recognition of their own mortality and perhaps a recklessness or fearlessness in their approach to life. The lines "I'm going to everywhere, I'm going to anywhere" conveys a sense of adventure and freedom, indicating perhaps a desire to travel and explore new experiences without hesitation.
The repetition of "even if the light is red, I'm not stopping" reinforces this idea of fearlessness in the face of perceived danger or risk. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's determination to live life on their own terms, regardless of societal norms or expectations. Overall, the song Stop can be seen as an anthem for living life to its fullest, embracing adventure and taking risks, and being grateful for every moment.

I'm 50 years old and these guys are fantastic. Funny how they never won any reality / idol / TV shows. They just get out there and play live shows in front of real audiences and write great songs. Music how it should be. These guys have a huge future. Respect!
