Stutter
Starkid Productions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you wouldn't talk to me?
No, you wouldn't talk to me
Yesterday
We were gettin' along
We had that little dancey thing
Well here's a song I sing
It was gonna be fine
But you didn't wanna be
Be the man who'd be with me
No way
But now you saying it's time
Why you gotta be like that?
I don't like the way you act
Around me
So baby come on, come on...
Oh, don't you tell me to go
And say I'm the one
D-d-do you think I'm dumb?
I'm sorry, did I just stutter?
Won't tell you what you know
But this is the end
You were never my friend
You were never my-
You were never my lover!
You remember that night?
When I saw you tremblin'?
I remembered, I don't care
'Bout you
You remember the way
You thought you were at the top
Well I think we're better off
Without you
And I got your number
And I don't mean on my phone
Would've already just thrown it out
If I'd known about
The way you bitch and moan
Remember that way?
How you were way outta line?
Well now you're way outta time
So tell me what you want on your tombstone!
Come on, come on...
Oh, don't you tell me to go
And say I'm the one
S-s-sorry, we are done!
'Scuse me, did I just stutter?
Won't tell you what you know,
But this is the end
You were never my friend
You were never my-
You were never my lover!
Too bad you a loser
Too bad you waste my time
Good thing that I'm around
To keep your ass in line!
You were never my-
You were never my lover!
The song "Stutter" by Starkid Productions is about a past relationship that has gone sour. In the first verse, the singer reminisces about a time when they were getting along with their partner, but then the partner stopped talking to them, leading to the end of the relationship. In the second verse, the singer talks about how they don't care about their ex's feelings and don't need their phone number anymore. They also mention how their ex was "outta line" and now they're "outta time." The chorus repeats the line "did I just stutter?" and emphasizes how the singer is done with the relationship and their ex was never their friend or lover.
The song could be interpreted as the singer taking back control and standing up for themselves after being mistreated in the relationship. They refuse to be treated poorly and are moving on from the toxic dynamic. The repetition of "did I just stutter?" could be a reminder to the ex that the singer is not hesitant to take action and assert themselves.
Overall, "Stutter" is a catchy and empowering breakup song that encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and let go of toxic relationships.

not Okay
I think it's pretty ironic they chose Lauren and Brian as backdancers because..
Draco (Lauren): was never Hermione's lover.
Lupin (Brian): was never James bestfriend.
It speaks volumes to the lyrics:
~You were never my friend
You were never, you were never my lover.~
