Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He came unexpectedly,
Suddenly she feels empty infatuated by his magnetic gaze
She put an action for satisfaction
That's what she chase to won that race

Days gone by, time passes by
Boys come and go
Still you never say no, no

Stop pretending little girl
It's a waste of time
You've been running
You've been hiding
Dont you ever feel numb
Or is that all that you want

Stop pretending little girl
It's a waste of time
You've been running
You've been hiding
Dont you ever feel numb
Or is that all that you want

C'mon little girl shouldn't you know better
There's a greater things then instant gratification

Hey little girl life is not just a stupid race

Hey little girl life is not just a stupid race
(End)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Stupid Race" by The Alastair's seem to tell the story of a girl who falls quickly for a guy who enters her life unexpectedly. Despite the guy's magnetic gaze, it seems that he is only a temporary fixture in her life. The girl, in her search for satisfaction, has been chasing after boys who come and go without ever saying no to them. The chorus is a plea for the girl to stop pretending and realize that life is not just about the race for instant gratification.

The opening lines suggest that the girl did not plan for this guy to enter her life, but his presence has left her feeling empty. The line "she put an action for satisfaction" implies that she is taking action to fulfill her desires for satisfaction, and winning the race seems to be her primary motivation. The timeline of the story seems to stretch over several days, during which many boys come and go but the girl is unable to say no to them.

The chorus is a powerful message that warns the girl to stop pretending and realize the hollowness of her pursuit for instant gratification. Life is not a "stupid race", and there are greater things to pursue than just satisfying one's desires.
