    Stop This Train

    Uploaded by

    The song is about feeling overwhelmed by the speed of life and wanting things to slow down. It describes not wanting to see parents age and wanting to get off the train of life and go back home. Throughout the song, the singer requests for someone to "stop this train" but ultimately comes to accept that they will never be able to stop or change the passage of time.
