Can't Stop
Unstoppable Punk Vibes: The Smelters' Sonic Thrill
Lyrics
What's that sound, all the strokes are down
Observing a distinct sound as the guitar strokes are played
And it's just three chords and I don't want more
Expressing contentment with simplicity, preferring just three chords in the music
And the stance is wide, it's four-four time
Describing a wide stance and a four-four time signature in the music
And the fast eighth notes on hi-hats fine
Noting the presence of fast eighth notes on the hi-hats, indicating a lively rhythm
I just don't know but the fast tempo
Expressing uncertainty about the significance of the fast tempo
Makes me feel alive I wanna go go go
Feeling energized and wanting to keep going due to the fast tempo
And I just don't care, all the people stare
Indicating a carefree attitude despite being observed by others
But I'm having fun while they just stand there
Having fun and enjoying oneself while others merely watch
I can't stop
Repetition emphasizing the inability to stop or resist the urge to continue
Can't stop
-Can't stop
-Oh no
-And it goes so fast that it just can't last
Commenting on the fleeting nature of the experience, acknowledging its transience
So I jump around and I have a blast
Engaging in lively physical movement and thoroughly enjoying the moment
All the punk kids know that a punk rock show
Noting that a punk rock show is about enjoyment, not a display of fashion
Is for good-good times not a fashion show
Highlighting the positive atmosphere of punk rock shows
And Im just here once so I'll have some fun
Embracing the opportunity for fun since it's a unique moment
And I'll laugh and scream and just act dumb
Expressing joy through laughter and uninhibited behavior
And I just don't care, all the people stare
Maintaining a carefree attitude despite being observed
But I'm having fun while they just stand there
Having fun while others remain passive spectators
I can't stop
Reiteration of the inability to stop or resist the excitement
Can't stop
-Can't stop
-Oh no
-One-two-three-four
Counting off before a musical section or emphasizing the rhythm
What's that sound, all the strokes are down
Reiteration of the earlier verses, emphasizing the enjoyment and carefree attitude
And it's just three chords and I don't want more
-And the stance is wide, it's four-four time
-And the fast eighth notes on hi-hats fine
-I just don't know but the fast tempo
-Makes me feel alive I wanna go go go
-And I just don't care, all the people stare
-But I'm having fun while they just stand there
-I can't stop
Emphasizing once again the unstoppable and exhilarating nature of the experience
Can't stop
-Can't stop
-Oh no
-Can't stop
Final repetition of the theme, reinforcing the inability to stop or halt the excitement
Can't stop
-Can't stop
-Oh no
