Stacked Like Pancakes (SLP) is a boisterous Baltimore-based brass-rock band.
Beginning in 2007, Stacked Like Pancakes was founded on an idolization of artists like Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, and Less Than Jake. Following the 2011 debut ska album Weโre Not Insane, SLP and renaissance frontman-songwriter Kellen McKay began to develop an obsession with breaking genre boundaries. SLP has since proven to maintain a thick sonic texture through a synthesis of inspirations including Reel Big Fish, twenty one pilots, Foo Fighters, Paramore, Cage the Elephant, and an untraceable amount of other artists and genres.
Stacked Like Pancakes found their niche in music festivals in 2012, supporting Kid Cudi at Towson Universityโs Tigerfest. In 2014, SLP won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands competition, earning their first appearance on the Vans Warped Tour. When they were invited to return in 2015, the Warped Tour sparked a love for the road. In March 2017, Stacked Like Pancakes was a featured artist for the Vans Warped Tour, performing alongside Bless the Fall, Memphis May Fire, Jule Vera, and Microwave at the official Warped Tour Kickoff Party in Orlando, Florida. During this stretch of time, SLP embarked on several self-booked headlining tours, a national tour supporting ska-parallels Reel Big Fish, and in 2015 released their fan-funded sophomore album THIS IS US.
Concert venues and music patrons alike should be prepared for the stage to shake, the crowd to be wild and unpredictable, and the show to be a deliberate fusion of spontaneity and precision. The bandโs trumpet and two trombonists wonโt be standing in the back or blending in with the backdrop as mere support. In this self-proclaimed brass-rock band, the horns will steal the show, and the Pancake Nation community fanbase is hungry for their band to grow.
Stacked Like Pancakes epitomizes a tough DIY band despite a meaningless band name, and are rightfully on the rise to claim an international stage of their own.
Don't Say
Stacked Like Pancakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I know
I've been there before
And please don't say that you love me
Because I know
I've been there before.
I gave you one more chance
and that was all I ever did
And you refused them
I send you all my songs
I always thought how could I go wrong
How could I be naive to think that you could really love me
Love me.
So please don't try and talk to me
Because you're everything I don't want to be
So leave me alone
And set me free
I took you to the dance
And showed you all my moves
But you were with someone else for the slow song
And its so wrong
If you don't want my heart
Then I don't want no part
I still feel like maybe we do belong
Oh, what did I do wrong
Don't say that you need me
Because I know I've been there before
And please don't say that you love me
Because I've been there before
I drove you everywhere that you would ever want to go
And I took it slow
Because your love is all I know
And all those roses I left you were all I ever know
Don't say that you need me
Because I know I've been there before
And please don't say that you love me
Because I know,
I've been there before.
(Epic Solos)
Please don't say that you need me
Because I know,
I've been there before.
And please don't say that you love me
Because I know,
I've been there before.
And PLEASE don't say that you need me
Because I know,
I've been there before.
And please don't say that you love me
Because I know,
I've been there before.
The lyrics to "Don't Say" by Stacked Like Pancakes describe a relationship that has already gone through several rounds of disappointment and heartbreak. The singer is calling out their partner for saying things that they don't really mean. The plea to not say "you need me" or "you love me" makes it clear that these words have been used in the past to try and patch things up after a falling out. The singer is tired of hearing them because they know the other person is just trying to keep them hooked.
The lyrics also describe the singer's efforts to make the relationship work. They took their partner to social events, introduced them to friends, and wrote songs for them, but it was not enough. The pain of being rejected at the dance, and seeing their partner dance with someone else only compounds the hurt that the singer is feeling. Despite this, the singer still has doubts about whether or not they belong together.
Overall, the song portrays a relationship that has reached a breaking point due to a lack of trust and meaningful communication.

Please don't say that you need me
Please don't lie about needing me
Because I know
I've experienced this before
I've been there before
I've been in this situation in the past
And please don't say that you love me
Please don't lie about loving me
I gave you one more chance
I forgave you once before
and that was all I ever did
But I won't forgive you again
I showed you all my friends
I introduced you to everyone I know
And you refused them
But you rejected them all
I send you all my songs
I shared my musical passions with you
I always thought how could I go wrong
I believed that our relationship was right
How could I be naive to think that you could really love me
But now I see how foolish I was to think you loved me
Love me.
Love me genuinely
So please don't try and talk to me
Please leave me alone
Because you're everything I don't want to be
You're not the person I want in my life
So leave me alone
Don't try to reach out to me
And set me free
Let me go and move on
I took you to the dance
I brought you to the prom
And showed you all my moves
I danced with you and shared my moves
But you were with someone else for the slow song
But you danced with someone else for the slow dance
And its so wrong
It hurt me a lot
If you don't want my heart
If you don't truly love me
Then I don't want no part
Then I don't want anything to do with you
I still feel like maybe we do belong
I can't help but wonder if we still belong together
Oh, what did I do wrong
I'm questioning what I did to deserve this
I drove you everywhere that you would ever want to go
I took you wherever you wanted to go
And I took it slow
I was patient with you
Because your love is all I know
Because I thought your love was all I needed
And all those roses I left you were all I ever know
The roses I gave you were my expression of love
And PLEASE don't say that you need me
Please don't lie about needing me (again)
And please don't say that you love me
Please don't lie about loving me (again)
Because I know,
I've been through this before
I've been there before.
I know what it's like to be lied to
