Reborn
6. Stone Sour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am walking through your streets
I am looking in your windows
I am elemental now, you'll never even know I'm there
I am watching over you, I am living in the shadows
I am just a word to you, but I am very real and cold
Cold to all of this
Cold to how you feel
Cold to all your lucid reason

I AM EVERYTHING I AM ANYTHING I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY I AM EVERYDAY I AM GONNA BE

I am all there is to know, I am all that you've forgotten
I am enigmatic now, you never even knew my name
I am dressed in tragedy, I am by design immortal
I am just the last one left, but I am always here and old
Old and very strong
Old as all you feel
Old as all the world around you

I AM EVERYTHING I AM ANYTHING I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY I AM EVERYDAY I AM GONNA BE
REBORN

I am just a secret now, I am just a vague illusion
I'm a lie you tell yourself that you never truly did believe
I'm a whisper in the dark, I'm a victim and the killer
I am almost ready now, but you insist I don't exist
That I don't exist- that I don't exist, that I don't EXIST

I AM EVERYTHING I AM ANYTHING I AM AUTOMATIC




I AM YESTERDAY I AM EVERYDAY I AM GONNA BE
REBORN

Overall Meaning

"Reborn" by Stone Sour is a song that delves into the idea of being unseen but always present. The lyrics paint a picture of a mysterious and enigmatic figure who is watching and observing the world around them. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes the most powerful forces in our lives are the ones we cannot see or understand. The chorus repeats that this person or entity is everything, anything, and automatic. They exist not only in the present moment but also in the past and the future. They are constant and unchanging.


Throughout the song, there are references to being cold and old. This can be interpreted as the idea that the figure is ancient and has been around for a long time. They have seen everything and know everything, yet they still remain a mystery. The line "I am just a word to you, but I am very real and cold" speaks to the fact that this figure might not be well known, but they are still a powerful presence in the world.


The song ends with a reminder that this figure is almost ready to reveal themselves, but the world denies their existence. It leaves the listener wondering who this entity is and when they will be revealed.
