US5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will it burn here still tomorrow?
Watchin' all the people tryin' pass me by
Wanna warn them what's to follow
What's it gonna take for you to believe?
How many mistakes till ya'll gonna see?
They've got you good, look all of you dying!
Only see it through your life can be
They've got you good, cause all of you crying!
You know damn well they wanna burn you
And you know damn well you wont survive
If you're ever gonna hear me
Somebody anybody
Come on and end all you're fighting
Stop!
It's such a disgrace
They're loosing they're face
They're killin' the whole damn human race
Stop!
The innocent die
The children all cry
Why cant we all be allies?
Looking through the eyes of a small young girl
Will her tears be dry tomorrow?
She looks around and wonders why there's so much hate
And she fears of what's to follow
You know damn well they wanna burn you
And you know damn well you wont survive
If you're ever gonna hear me
Somebody anybody
Come on and end all you're fighting
Stop!
It's such a disgrace
They're loosing they're face
They're killin' the whole damn human race
Stop!
The innocent die
The children all cry
Why cant we all be allies?
Stop!
It's such a disgrace
They're loosing they're face
They're killin' the whole damn human race
Stop!
The innocent die
The children all cry
Why cant we all be allies?
Stop!
It's such a disgrace
They're loosing they're face
They're killin' the whole damn human race
Stop!
The innocent die
The children all cry
Why cant we all be allies?
Stop!
It's such a disgrace
They're loosing they're face
They're killin' the whole damn human race
Stop!
The innocent die
The children all cry
Why cant we all be allies?
The lyrics of US5's song "Stop" are a powerful call for unity and action against the violence, hatred, and discrimination that plague human society. The first verse sets the tone by depicting the singer as a witness to the world's troubles, and their frustration at the lack of awareness or concern from others who pass them by. The second verse shifts the perspective to that of a small girl, who represents innocence and hope for the future. She is aware of the hate and fear in the world, and worries about what will happen next. The chorus repeats the command to "Stop" and lists the ways in which humanity is failing to live up to its potential - by letting innocent people die and children cry, by being divided and fighting each other instead of banding together as allies.
The lyrics of "Stop" can be interpreted as a message of peace, love, and understanding or a call to activism and social change. The song invites listeners to recognize the urgent need for a solution to the world's problems and to take action to make a difference. The lyrics also convey a sense of frustration and despair at the slow pace of progress and the resistance of those who benefit from maintaining the status quo. Overall, "Stop" is a powerful and emotional plea for human unity and empathy that resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
