Stella
Time low Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Three p.m., on my feet and staggering
Through misplaced words
And a sinking feeling, I got carried away

Sick, sick of sleeping on the floor
Another night, another score
I'm jaded, bottles breaking

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor

I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times, let's face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?
Stella, would you take me home?

Two a.m., I'm on a blackout binge again
You know I don't need sleep
And I lost my keys, but I got so many friends

And they keep, keep me coming back for more
Another night, another score
I'm faded, bottles breaking

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor

I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times, let's face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?

One more reason, I should never have met you
Just another reason I could never forget you
Down we go
The room's spinning out of control

Lose myself in a chemical moment
The night life's taking its toll
That's just the way it goes
Come on, Stella, would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor

I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor

I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times, let's face it

Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella, would you take me home?

Overall Meaning

The song "Stella" by All Time Low is about alcohol and the destructive behavior it can cause. The lyrics depict a person who is partying hard and getting carried away with drinking. The singer is in love with Stella, who is likely a personification of alcohol itself. The singer is sick of sleeping on the floor and the drunken behavior that comes with it. Despite being surrounded by friends who are encouraging this behavior, the singer feels alone and is falling in love with the feeling of being drunk. The chorus repeats the line "Stella, would you take me home?" as the singer is asking for alcohol to take him away from his current situation.

The song demonstrates the dangerous effects of alcohol on a person's life. The singer's dependence on alcohol has caused them to lose control and they are struggling to find their way back to a healthier lifestyle. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the damage being caused by their dependence on Stella but cannot seem to resist it. The song highlights the importance of seeking help when struggling with substance abuse issues.

Sick, sick of sleeping on the floor Another night, another score I'm jaded, bottles breaking
I'm tired of living like a rockstar, sleeping on the floor and partying all night. I'm worn out and my excessive lifestyle is catching up to me.

You're only happy when I'm wasted I point my finger but I just can't place it Feels like I'm falling in love When I'm falling to the bathroom floor
You only seem to care about me when I'm drunk and unable to function. I can't figure out why I keep coming back to you, even when I'm at my worst.

It's 2AM and I'm wasted again, unable to remember anything. I don't need sleep and I'm surrounded by people who enable my behavior.

One more reason, I should never have met you Just another reason I could never forget you Down we go The room's spinning out of control
Meeting you was a mistake that I can't seem to forget. We're spiraling out of control and things are getting out of hand.

Lose myself in a chemical moment The night life's taking its toll That's just the way it goes Come on, Stella, would you take me home?
I'm getting lost in the party scene and it's starting to negatively affect my life. I know it's my own fault, but please Stella, take me home and help me out.

You're only happy when I'm wasted I point my finger but I just can't place it Feels like I'm falling in love alone Stella, would you take me home?
You only seem to care about me when I'm drunk and unable to function. I can't figure out why I keep coming back to you, even when I'm at my worst.

3 pm on my feet and staggering
Through misplaced words and a sinking feeling
I got carried away
Sick, Sick of sleeping on the floor
Another night another score
I'm jaded, bottles breaking

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times- lets face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella would you take me home?
Stella would you take me home?

2 am I'm on a blackout binge again
You know I don't need sleep
And I lost my keys,
But I've got so many friends
And they keep, keep me coming back for more
Another night another score
I'm faded, bottles breaking

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times- lets face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella would you take me home?

One more reason I should never have met you
Just another reason I could never forget you
Down we go, the rooms spinning outta control
Lose yourself in a chemical moment
The night life's taking it's toll
That's just the way it goes
Come on, Stella would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times- lets face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm falling in love
When I'm falling to the bathroom floor
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times- lets face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone

stella will forever be my favorite all time low song i know its suppose to be about alcohol, but for me it about being used by some one or something to the point where you louse yourself. and the struggle of not being able to control how things effect you. and its about knowing that someone is torturing you just to see you squirm and still not being able to give them up.

Scsigs define "emo influence." Are you referring to the likes of Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, My Chemical Romance, etc.? None of these are "emo." They are all pop punk, pop rock, or just plain old rock.

someone was like "do you like All Time Low?" and i was like "yeah is that even a ques-" then they started singing all time low by jon bellum or something and i was like really? if that song had a different name maybe i wouldn't hate it so much

Amran Azman

Me too. I told my friend to check out ATL and she just went "all time low low low low low" and I was like "tf?"
Then I figured out that it's actually a song 💀

Illyana Amara

I wonder how many people have accidentally found this back because of that song though.

John Mott

At work, there were several times I brought up the band All Time Low. With two exceptions, people thought I was talking about the song.

Livia Johnson

@Lilith his name is Alex, and people can have opinions. I believe this person is annoyed because this song causes confusion when their opinion is that the band is better. And if you don't like atl, why are you listening to stella?

Rai Rose

I'd be like, "Do you like All Time Low?" and if you said yes, then I'd be like, "Oh cool, so you're fine if I sing Break Your Little Heart at the top of my lungs then."

I realised this morning could be about the beer Stella Artois and it all has a whole new meaning...
And the “I got so many friends who keep me coming back for more” part could be that the friends are alcohol or drugs the speakers addicted to?
And the “I remember how you tasted” could be cause they remember how the alcohol tasted. Maybe from the perspective of an ex alcoholic?
