Stop
Breaking Chains: A Call to End Hate and Start Anew
Lyrics
Not seeing eye to eye and only getting worse
There is a growing disagreement, and it's not improving.
Seems all your arguments are dumb taglines that sound rehearsed
Arguments seem insincere, like rehearsed slogans with little substance.
Can't we speak from the heart and forget all the dogma
Advocating for open and sincere communication, moving away from rigid beliefs.
I've known you all my life, I love you like my Grandma
Expressing a deep connection and love, comparing it to a grandparent's love.
But here we are, what are we gonna do now
Expressing a moment of uncertainty about the current situation.
You aim to scar, I aim for healing, man, it's true
Highlighting different intentions—inflicting harm versus promoting healing.
You cannot change my mind, i cannot change your mind
Mutual inability to change each other's perspectives.
Wish we could compromise but really, dude, it may be time to stop
Expressing frustration with the lack of compromise, suggesting it might be time to end the relationship or interaction.
Stop hanging around, it's bringing me down
Suggesting that being in the presence of the other person is negatively affecting the speaker.
Dragging my soul across the ground
Feeling emotionally dragged down by the relationship.
It tears me apart, it's breaking my heart
The situation is causing emotional pain and heartbreak.
This whole world could use a fresh new start
Expressing a desire for a positive change in the world.
Woah, oh yeah, a fresh new start, woah, oh yeah
Reiterating the hope for a fresh start.
Once a government for the people by the people
Describing a shift from a government for the people to one that disrespects and violates its citizens.
Now it's more like hey, fuck those people, violate those assholes
Expressing frustration with the use of slogans and the impact on emotions.
It blows my mind to hear you repeat all the slogans
Surprise at hearing the repetition of slogans.
It cuts too deep releasing all kinds of emotions
The emotional impact of slogans is profound.
Just to be clear, you don't mean nothing to them
Clarifying that the other person means nothing to those in power.
I'm over here, wondering if we can still be friends
Expressing a personal struggle with the relationship but still hopeful for friendship.
You've chosen hate and greed, I choose humanity
Choosing empathy and humanity over hate and greed.
Wish we could compromise but really, dude, it may be time to stop
Repeating the desire for compromise but hinting at the need to end the association.
Stop hanging around, it's bringing me down
Reiterating the negative impact of being around the other person.
Dragging my soul across the ground
Emphasizing the emotional burden of the relationship.
It tears me apart, it's Breaking my heart
Expressing emotional pain and heartbreak.
This whole world could use a fresh new start
Reiterating the hope for a fresh start.
Woah, oh yeah, a fresh new start, woah, oh yeah
Repeating the desire for a positive change in the world.
How much death will it take until we see real change
Posing a question about the need for significant events to drive real change.
How are you not fed up when straight up lies are commonplace
Expressing disbelief at the acceptance of lies in society.
You just can't turn your head and hope it goes away
Advising against ignoring problems and hoping they disappear.
How can we love enough to wipe out all the hate
Advocating for love as a solution to counteract hate.
We know it's wrong, what are we gonna do now
Recognizing the wrongness of a situation and questioning the next steps.
Their crooked laws have got us by the balls, it's true
Highlighting the control of society by corrupt laws.
The wealthy one percent, must be made to repent
Calling for accountability for the wealthiest individuals.
Must kick the corporate stooges right out of the government and stop
Calling for the removal of corporate influence in government.
Stop hanging around, it's bringing me down
Reiterating the negative impact of being around the other person.
Don't wanna believe what you're about
Expressing reluctance to believe in the other person's values.
It tears me apart, it's Breaking my heart
Reiterating emotional pain and heartbreak.
This whole world could use a fresh new start
Expressing a desire for a positive change in the world.
Woah, oh yeah, a fresh new start, woah, oh yeah
Repeating the hope for a fresh start.
