Stop the World
Steve Aoki Marnik & Leony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know this isn't right
But it feels so good to us
When we're in our own minds
Pretending it's all fine, mhm-mhm

Blending it all out
But it hits us every time
When we're not together
We're hurting each other

I can't hide
I can't get enough (get enough)
And I want us to collide
We can finally be one (we can finally be one)

We're wasting time
While we know what we want
But it's impossible to try
'Till we're committing to us

I can't stop the world from falling
I can't stop the world
But when your skin is so close to mine
Then we can stop the world

I can't hide
I can't get enough (get enough)
And I want us to collide
We can finally be one (we can finally be one)

You and I
Are running on love (ay, ay, ay)
Wish that we could stop the time
'Cause I can't get enough (oh, ay)

We're wasting time
While we know what we want
But it's impossible to try
'Till we're committing to us

(I can't hide)





(I can't hide)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Steve Aoki, Marnik, and Leony's song "Stop The World" explore the thrill and tension of a forbidden love. The opening line, "Know this isn't right, but it feels so good to us," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the two lovers are aware of the impropriety of their relationship but are still drawn to each other. They are "in their own minds, pretending it's all fine," trying to ignore the fact that their actions are hurting others. The chorus, with its repetitious refrain of "I can't hide, I can't get enough," reinforces the inner conflict that the lovers face between their love for each other and the guilt they feel.


The bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the lovers express their desire to "stop the world" and be together. However, they acknowledge that "it's impossible to try 'till we're committing to us," suggesting that their love is not yet strong enough to overcome external obstacles. Ultimately, the song is a bittersweet exploration of the intense emotions and contradictions that come with a love that society deems "wrong."

Stop The World - Steve Aoki ft. Marnik, Leony

Know this isn't right, but it feels so good to us

We're in our own minds

Pretending it's all fine, mm

Blending it all out but it hits us every time

When we're not together

We're hurting each other


I can't hide, I can't get enough

And I want us to collide, we can finally be one

We're wasting time while we know what we want

It's impossible to try 'til we're committing to us


I can't stop the world from falling

I can't stop the world

But when your skin is so close to mine

Then we can stop the world




I can't hide, I can't get enough

And I want us to collide, we can finally be one

You and I are running on love

Wish that we could stop the time 'cause I can't get enough

We're wasting time while we know what we want

It's impossible to try till we're committing to us
