Stop
Spartan jet-plex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's dark and light
Sometimes the darkness
Wins the fight
There's demons in the past
I face them down
But it never lasts
These memories come fast
I've got to stop
Turning me around
Don't know what's in my mind
Sometimes I'm doing fine
I've got to stop
Turning me around
Cannot unwind my mind
Not sure what I might find
Oh
Same is true
For all the dark
Light can come inside
Bring some small spark alive
I'm in and out
Nothing is left or right
Sometimes it's fight or flight
Sometimes the future's bright
I've got to stop
Turning me around
Don't know what's in my mind
Sometimes I'm doing fine
I've got to stop
Turning me around
Cannot unwind my mind
Not sure what I might find
Oh
I'm a circle, I'm a second
I'm a holy ghost
Feelings hit home so close
Nothing that I had hoped
I'm a circle, I'm a second
I'm a holy ghost
The lightness does approach
My mind tries to revolt
I've got to stop
Turning me around
Don't know what's in my mind
Sometimes I'm doing fine
I've got to stop
Turning me around
Cannot unwind my mind
Not sure what I might find
Oh
The lyrics to Spartan Jet-Plex's song "Stop" express the struggle of trying to overcome past demons and negative thoughts in one's mind. The first verse describes the constant battle between darkness and light, and the difficulty of facing past demons that pop up unexpectedly. The chorus reveals the desire to stop the cycle of negative thoughts and self-doubt from constantly turning inward, and the fear of what might be found if the mind were to unwind.
The second verse acknowledges that everyone struggles with darkness, but also suggests that light can bring hope and change. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty about how to achieve a healthier mindset, as if the singer is stuck in circular thinking that perpetuates negative patterns. The repetition of "I'm a circle, I'm a second, I'm a holy ghost" adds to this feeling of trapped-ness, as if the singer is stuck in a repetitive, unending cycle of negative thoughts and futile attempts to escape them.
Overall, the theme of "Stop" seems to be one of self-reflection and a desire to break free from negative patterns of thinking. It conveys a sense of hopefulness that change is possible, but also the recognition that it's not an easy process.
