Stop Yourself
Throw the Fight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one more drink she said
Is all she needs to ease the pain
Just one more day until she is sober she is clean
But she won't listen to the people that are helping her

She is spinning out of control
She is slipping out of my arms
She is spinning out of control with no hope of return
She's trying to hold on to (the things she understands)
The feeling of worthlessness
You think you will never be free the burden is always there
But trust me when I tell you that you will be ok I swear

Nobody cares she says
Nobody loves her in her head
Her life is torn apart
Missing the one she loves the most
Because she listens to the voices that are haunting her

She's spinning out of control
She is slipping out of my arms
She is spinning out of control with no hope of return
She's trying to hold on to (the things she understands)
The feeling of worthlessness
You think you will never be free the burden is always there
But trust me when I tell you that you'll be ok I swear

She's burning out
She's letting go
With every last breath she lets me know
Her faith is dead she slits her wrists
And waits for death

You think you will never be free the burden is always there
But trust me when I tell you that you'll be ok I swear

You've got to stop yourself
Rebuild your broken world
Ignore the voices that will bring you down





Stop yourself

Overall Meaning

"Stop Yourself" by Throw The Fight is a powerful and emotional song that tackles themes of addiction, self-destruction, and the struggle to overcome inner demons. The song tells the story of a young woman who is fighting with addiction, and who is spiraling out of control despite the efforts of those who are trying to help her. The verses paint a vivid picture of a troubled soul who is using alcohol and drugs to numb the pain and to escape from reality. She is in a state of despair, feeling worthless and unloved, and is haunted by the voices in her head that are pushing her towards self-destruction.


The chorus of the song is a call to action - a plea for the woman to stop herself before it's too late. The song acknowledges the burden of addiction and the sense of hopelessness that often accompanies it, but it also carries a message of hope and resilience. The repeated line "you think you will never be free, the burden is always there" is a reminder that the road to recovery is long and difficult, but it is possible. The song encourages listeners to rebuild their broken world and to ignore the voices that bring them down, urging them to take control of their lives and to make positive changes.
