Stone
Alessia Cara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So much on my mind
I think I think too much
Read between these lines
Unspoken weight of words
But time comes to rest when you are by my side, it blurs

And I will follow where this takes me
And my tomorrows long to be unknown
When all is shaken, be my safety
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

Change in every wind
The sands of time don't know our name
Oh, nothing's sure, but surely as we stand
I promise I will stay the same
And I've never seen forever
But I know we'll remain

And I will follow where this takes me
And my tomorrows long to be unknown
When all is shaken, be my safety
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Be my stone
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

Oh, steady me, be my source of gravity
While my world's unraveling
Say you'll never change, ooh, oh

And I will follow where this takes me
And my tomorrows long to be unknown
When all is shaken, be my safety
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone




(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Be my stone
In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

Overall Meaning

In Alessia Cara's song "Stone," she talks about the unpredictability of life and how it can be overwhelming at times. She admits that she thinks too much and sometimes can't find the right words to express what she's feeling. However, when she's with the person she loves, everything falls into place, and time seems to stand still. She's willing to follow wherever life takes her, even if it leads to the unknown. She asks that her partner be her safety and her "stone" in a world that's constantly changing.


The lyrics suggest that the couple is facing a lot of uncertainty and cynicism in the world around them. However, they have found solace in each other, which has given them the strength to stand strong. She acknowledges that the future is unpredictable, but she's willing to embrace it because she knows that their relationship will remain constant. The metaphor of the "stone" implies that the person she loves is a source of stability and a foundation to hold on to as life's currents move around them.


In conclusion, "Stone" is a song about finding comfort in someone amidst a chaotic world. It demonstrates Alessia Cara's vulnerability and the need for human connection to feel grounded.

My friend asked me to listen to this a while back..... She died today..... I'm listening to it for the first time and somehow, it's soothing even as my heart breaks.
