(2/2/20): “Back in the day, we didn't have many ‘energetic’ songs and 10 Mile Stereo was a chance to get loud, it evolved then and always stayed that way and has always been part of the set.” Can you provide any insight to the naming of that song? “Think it was a sudden vision that the music sounded like a really huge stereo in a canyon.” ~ Reddit

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
They say we can throw far, but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever
This push and pull is the force of a wave of time
In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine
They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go
'Cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we saw it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Ride pyramids at night, they carry us on forever
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever
The opening line of the verse, "They say we will go far but they don't know how far we'll go" implies that the singer and their partner have ambition and are taking risks, and while others may doubt their ability to succeed, they believe they will surpass those expectations. The next line, "With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon", is a metaphor for their sense of adventure and their willingness to take calculated risks. The line, "This heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw", builds on the metaphor of the previous line, suggesting that their hearts are unbreakable and they are willing to take chances because of their unyielding nature.
The chorus reflects a sense of perseverance and endurance in the face of obstacles. "It can't be gone, we're still right here" suggests that the singer and their partner have overcome challenges in the past and will continue to do so in the future. "Limbs parallel" implies that they work together in harmony. "We stood so long we fell" suggests that they have been through difficult times together, but have come out the other side stronger. The line "Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever" is a recognition that life is fleeting and we must make the most of our time, and this sentiment supports the idea of the couple taking risks and living in the moment.
The second verse continues the metaphor of the couple as a force of nature, describing their love as the "force of a wave of time". The line, "In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine" suggests that their relationship has not always been easy, but despite this they have persevered. The refrain, "They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw, 'Cause this heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw", is repeated, further emphasizing the idea of the couple as risk-takers who face the unknown with unwavering hearts.

The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw

It was me and her song.
She was in love.
I was in love.
We were forever
But we split apart
We had a kid now we are
Like peanut butter and jelly now we are two different sandwiches
Everytime we hear this song it reminded us of what we went through and how we stayed together now it's gone
I'm back to square one
She made me feel like I'm worth something
My whole life I got how I wasn't ever going to go anywhere
She showed me something I've never seen in myself I lost my motivation I lost my home
I would forever miss you
Lil Chmney 💕💑

When I hear this song.
I remember driving down with the sun coming down in the back of a white 2019 Kia
My girl at the time sitting across from me sleeping
And me just looking at her
I remember the street like a gif it just kept coming up so dark so narrow but full of life
I remember cuddling my ex when she would have a panic attack and I would put her this song while she laid on me while I Slowly scratched her head because it would always relax her and before she went to sleep
She would be unconcsious humming the song
This was me and her song
It took so long.......
We stood so long we fell,
😕It's been a crazy 3 weeks 🙂
Let me tell you something
I got 2 warrants
I'm 17
Im having a kid with my ex
I got to pay 2 thousand dollars
I don't got
Won't be able to see my kid
If I get charged guilty
My baby momma left me a week after we find out we are pregnant
She stopped texting me
I was already sad but I a deeply fell in love
I heard she hit up her ex
Then her old ex
She took me off her fb and the baby and posted a picture of herself long time. Ago
No one will understand how deep I am
How hurt
And the crazy thing is
Is that it happened so quick
If only I could tell you

The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever
This push and pull is the force of a wave of time
In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine
They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go
Cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we saw it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Bright pyramids at night, they carry us on forever
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever
