The Boy Who Stopped the World
Halting Time's Grip: A Tale of Resignation and Redemption
Lyrics
Don't think you can stop it now
Expressing doubt about the ability to prevent something.
I'd like to see you try somehow
Challenging someone to attempt to stop a certain event.
Realize that it puts it all on you
Acknowledging that the responsibility lies with the individual.
There's nothing you can do
Highlighting powerlessness, indicating an inability to change the situation.
Right now you're sick and tired
Describing a state of physical and emotional exhaustion.
You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
Portraying feelings of sadness and lack of inspiration.
And the clock just won't slow down
Emphasizing the relentless passage of time.
Like it gets it kicks, pushing you around
Suggesting that time has its own agenda, pushing the individual around.
You around
Repetition for emphasis on being pushed around by time.
Maybe in morning it won't be
Expressing hope that the situation might improve in the morning.
Quite as bad it seems
Comparing the morning to the current difficult situation.
But the fact that you can't change
Stating the inability to change fundamental aspects like the speed of sound and the passage of time.
The speed of sound, the reign of age
Referring to uncontrollable natural elements and aging.
Is an understatement to, the state of mind
Suggesting that the current mental state is an understatement given the external factors.
You're not use to, use to
Expressing discomfort with a state of mind not accustomed to such challenges.
You'd be forever known
Imagining a lasting reputation as someone who halted the world and created their own reality.
As the boy who stopped the world
Emphasizing the potential legacy of being the one who stopped the world.
And made his own
Suggesting the individual's ability to shape their own world.
Right now you're sick and tired
Reiteration of feelings of sickness and tiredness.
You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
Repeating the sense of sadness and lack of inspiration.
So I pray for you my friend that you'll fall down
Expressing a wish or prayer for the individual to face challenges and difficulties.
You'll give in
Suggesting surrender or acceptance of the situation.
You'll give in
Finalizing the theme of surrender or giving in to the circumstances.
