How to Stop
Breaking Silence: Unveiling Hidden Pain in 'How to Stop'
Lyrics
What was it for?
Questioning the purpose or reason behind something
All these things I carried inside for so long
Refers to emotional baggage or burdens carried internally for an extended period
Is this my score, did you let me win, why let me begin?
Asking whether the speaker's achievements or actions were orchestrated by someone else
You’re ignorant, selfish, vulgar, still so beautiful
Describing contradictory feelings about someone's negative traits and beauty
I went down on my knees
Expressing submission or vulnerability
With my hands down, my head down
Symbolizing defeat or surrender
Wasn’t it through blood, that you colored my face
Metaphorically suggesting a traumatic or intense experience represented by blood
When I fell outta grace or was it true love I died for?
Questioning whether a downfall was due to losing favor or sacrificing for love
Sixteen times you showed me how to stop
Repeatedly shown a way to halt or cease
What was it like?
Seeking information or understanding about a situation
Did you open your mouth, while you let him in?
Implying someone allowed another person's intrusion or influence
How was your night?
Asking about the satisfaction or fulfillment of someone's night
Did it please the way that it used to do?
Questioning whether an experience still brings pleasure as it used to
You made me throw up
Expressing disgust or revulsion leading to physical sickness
‘Cause I couldn’t sleep myself away
Unable to escape one's reality or problems
Couldn’t see the ground
Feeling disoriented or lost, unable to find stability
With my hands down and my head down
Describing a state of defeat or submission
I went down on my knees
Reiterating vulnerability or submission
With my hands down, my head down
Reinforcing a sense of defeat or surrender
Wasn’t it through blood, that you colored my face
Symbolizing a significant and emotionally intense experience
When I fell outta grace or was it true love I died for?
Questioning whether a downfall was due to losing favor or sacrificing for love
Sixteen times you showed me how to stop
Repeatedly taught how to put an end to something
