slowly approaching a stop sign to some it means to slow down to others it means "be aware of what's around" to me it means broken promises, empty words, meaningless meanings, twisted intentions, vacant significance. they always said, "you stop at a stop sign." this inanimate object at the end of the road it's supposed to have this strict meaning, "stop" but what does it all really mean if you saw the stop sign and thought it meant "go"
