It’s My Stop blends introspective songwriting with a hypnotic groove, offering a modern Americana take on existential fatigue. Anchored by a haunting verse riff and rhythmic momentum, the track rides a metaphorical westbound train through crowded towns and quiet inner battles. Rooted in alt-country and shaded by folk-rock influences, it captures the tension between motion and stillness, simplicity and struggle—ultimately arriving at a stark refrain: “I just want off.” A standout cut for fans of thoughtful, road-worn storytelling.

Lyrics

Catch the westbound line
Run away run away it’s time
To the salve a fly
In a skull I’m trapped inside

Rolling along
Through crowded towns
Silent in sound
Thinking alone
Face in the ground
Oh yeah

Down on the street
A faint voice, it creaks
It’s my stop, I just want off
It’s my stop. I just want off
It’s my stop, I just want off
It’s my stop. I just want off
Is the void staring back at me

In the darkest times
Should the light of the stars also hide?
It’s hard to find
There’s a head, and my mind’s inside

Crawling along
Limbed tragedy
Hope parody
Headed machine
Dust yourself off, proceed
Oh yeah

Down on the street
A faint voice, it creaks
It’s my stop, I just want off
It’s my stop. I just want off
It’s my stop, I just want off
It’s my stop. I just want off
Is the void staring back at me

Down on the street
A faint voice, it creaks
It’s my stop, I just want off
It’s my stop. I just want off
It’s my stop, I just want off
It’s my stop. I just want off
Is the void staring back at me
