Who's Gonna Stop Me
Unraveling Dreams: The Delilahs' Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Once I believed I could be somebody
Expressing past belief in the potential to achieve greatness and be someone significant.
Nothing would stand in my way
Confidence that obstacles wouldn't hinder progress or success.
I was gonna rule the world
Aspiration to dominate the world, with the expectation of support from others.
And all of you would help me
Belief in collective assistance toward achieving personal goals.
But then I got hit
Encountering setbacks or challenges.
And then I got tripped
Facing unexpected difficulties or obstacles.
And then I got wise to my ways
Becoming aware of one's own misguided actions or behavior.
And then I got high
Engaging in substance use, possibly as a coping mechanism.
And then I got down
Experiencing a downturn or low point in life.
And now how I long for those days
Nostalgia for a time when life seemed more promising.
And who's gonna stop me
Pose a question about potential barriers or opposition.
Who's gonna stop me
Reiteration of the question regarding obstacles or challenges.
Who's gonna stop me this time
Emphasizing the urgency of knowing who might hinder progress.
Who's gonna stop me
Repeating the question, seeking clarity on potential stoppers.
Are you gonna stop me
Directly asking if someone specific will be a hindrance.
Who's gonna stop me now
Reiterating the question, seeking an answer about potential obstructions.
Nobody ever told me
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the lack of guidance or advice.
That nobody would ever tell me anything
Highlighting a lack of information or advice from others.
And nobody ever sold me
Stating a lack of persuasion or influence in selling or promoting anything.
On the idea of selling anything
Rejecting the idea of being convinced or swayed into selling something.
And nobody knows
Emphasizing a lack of awareness or recognition from others.
If nobody notices
Highlighting the unnoticed nature of certain actions or situations.
Nobody know what I mean
Expressing uncertainty about understanding or being understood.
And everyone knows
General observation that everything undergoes growth or change.
That everything grows
Acknowledging the universal principle of continuous growth.
Nevermore never evergreen
Suggesting a contrast between 'nevermore' (never again) and 'evergreen' (perpetual).
And who's gonna stop me
Reiteration of the central question about potential hindrances.
Who's gonna stop me
Repeating the question, emphasizing the need for an answer.
Who's gonna stop me this time
Highlighting the immediacy and urgency of the inquiry.
Who's gonna stop me
Repeating the question, seeking a clear response.
Are you gonna stop me
Posing the question directly to a specific individual.
Who's gonna stop me now
Reiterating the central question about potential impediments.
Who's gonna stop me
Reiteration of the inquiry about potential stoppers or obstacles.
Who's gonna stop me
Repeating the question, emphasizing the need for an answer.
Who's gonna stop me this time
Emphasizing the urgency and immediacy of knowing about potential obstructions.
Who's gonna stop me
Repeating the question, seeking clarity on potential stoppers.
Are you gonna stop me
Directly asking if someone specific will be a hindrance.
Who's gonna stop me now
Reiterating the central question about potential impediments.
