STOP
Embrace the Moment: Blanket Approval's Call to Pause and Listen
Lyrics
Stop, your fingers, they swipe so damn quick
Addressing the rapid scrolling/swiping behavior, possibly on a digital device.
But if you give me a second mine will tell yours why to click that shit
Encouraging a pause to understand the reasons behind actions, particularly in online interactions.
I write songs to soothe the funk in my soul
Expressing the purpose of creating music as a means to comfort or uplift the spirit.
but if you lend me your ears we might both feel full
Suggesting that sharing the experience of music can bring emotional fulfillment.
Just stop cuz this moment's much too sacrosanct
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment and its sacred nature.
Oh I hope you feel it too if you just stop to listen
Encouraging others to stop and appreciate the shared emotional experience through music.
Don't pass me by hugging goodnight when you wish you were kissing
Expressing a desire for deeper connection beyond surface interactions.
You don't want to spend your life wondering what you're missing
Advising against missing out on life experiences and connections.
When all you needed to do, was just
Hinting at a simple solution to the complexities in life.
Stop
Reiterating the central theme of stopping to appreciate the moment.
You look at me and see just another pretty face
Acknowledging the perception of being seen superficially.
But if you stop inside my mind you'll find it's a fascinating place
Encouraging a deeper understanding by exploring inner thoughts and uniqueness.
Full of self delusion, that modern mental contusion,
Describing the complexity and challenges of modern mental states.
If ya hang around,
Inviting others to experience and appreciate the speaker's thoughts and ideas.
You'll love the sound,
Highlighting the positive aspect of the speaker's creative output.
And even my mistakes
Acknowledging and finding value in one's mistakes.
Oh shit
Humorous interjection, possibly in response to a mistake.
Nah sounded good
Self-assured correction of the mistake.
Will feel profound
Asserting that even mistakes can have profound effects.
Oh I hope you feel it too if you just stop to listen
Reiterating the hope for a shared emotional connection through music.
Don't pass me by hugging goodnight when you wish you were kissing
Expressing a desire for more intimate interactions.
I don't want to spend my life knowing what you're missing
Rejecting a life spent missing out on meaningful experiences.
When all you needed to do, was just
Repeating the advice to simply stop and appreciate the moment.
You see I think it's not me but it's you
Suggesting that the issue lies with the listener, not the speaker.
Cuz if you pause your mind and give your time
Encouraging a mental pause and the investment of time in understanding.
Really anyone might do
Asserting the potential for anyone to be appreciated if given a chance.
Someone on tv, a volleyball lost at sea,
Listing examples of entities that might be appreciated with a pause of thought.
Connection's just time times attention
Defining connection as the product of time and attention.
So there's no time for restraint,
Encouraging a lack of restraint in forming connections.
This moment's, it's much too sacrosanct
Reiterating the sacredness of the present moment.
And I got this got this feeling that I ain't
Expressing a feeling of uniqueness or rarity in the speaker's perspective.
It's much too sacrosanct
Repeating the sacred nature of the moment.
And i got this got this feeling that I ain't
Reiterating the feeling of uniqueness or rarity in the speaker's perspective.
Oh I hope you feel it too if you just stop to listen
Continuing the hope for shared emotional connection through music.
Don't pass me by hugging goodnight when you wish you were kissing
Re-emphasizing the desire for more intimate interactions.
We don't want to spend our life wondering what we're missing
Rejecting a life spent wondering about missed opportunities.
When all we needed to do,
Repeating the advice to simply stop and appreciate the moment.
Was just
Restating the simplicity of the solution.
Stop
Final reinforcement of the central theme of stopping to appreciate the moment.
