Miracles
✈ Stone Sour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've felt the bitterness and pain
My soul keeps changing like the weather,
the only constant is the rain
I've known your black and white intentions and there's no room
For shades of gray
I never asked you to conform to me
I only begged for you to stay
I waited here tonight for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
I still have dreams that we're together
And I can still taste your skin
Reminders all around surrounded by your light,
I don't want to die again
I don't deserve to be discovered,
I don't deserve to know you care
I only want my promised other, not someone who isn't there
I waited here tonight for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Oh, I waited here all night for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
I waited here all night for you to come
But your love just disappeared
I'm waiting in the dark for miracles
But miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
Miracles don't happen here
The lyrics of Stone Sour's "Miracles" are a plea for someone to stay, even against their better judgment. The singer has experienced pain and disappointment in the past, and they understand the limitations of human relationships, but they still cling to the hope of a miracle. They acknowledge that their own desires might be unrealistic or selfish, but they can't help feeling that they deserve something more than what they've been given. Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation, as if the singer is hanging by a thread and can only hold on for so long. They wait all night for the other person to come, but ultimately they are left alone in the dark.
The song's chorus repeats the line "miracles don't happen here" three times, stating the sad truth that sometimes, no matter how much we hope and wish and pray, the things we want most just aren't meant to be. The imagery of rain and darkness, as well as the mention of feeling bitter and waiting for something that never comes, adds to the sense of longing and disappointment. The song is a reminder of the risks involved in putting our hearts on the line, and the potential pain that can follow when things don't work out as planned.

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
And while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me
'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you
And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you
Who are the stars
Who are the stars, they lie

I remember being a child and my parents didn't like "the guy from slipknot" and hated me listening to them, but they loved listening to Stonesour on the radio. If only they knew. 😅

My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
