Set In Stone
BlackGryph0n & BAASIK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break me from the stillness of this stone sarcophagus.
Set me free from the mind that tortures me, torments me,
Prisoner of IMmortality.
(Set in stone)
Save me
(Set in stone)
Free me!
What they need
Is it them or just me
Born to be a cursed entity.
(Can't they see) that they live in captivity,
Bound by the laws of their false reality?
(Set in stone)
Save me
(Set in stone)
Free me!
Close my eyes for a moment only, and now I'm blind for eternity
(Pain without gain is insane)
How can I be alive when my heart's not beating
I-I-I would have shown you mercy, did you think you could change me
(I will remain just the same 'cause I'm)
Still alive but my hearts not beating.
Stone. Set in stone.
Eternal throne. All alone.
Set in sto-o-o-o-one
Set in sto-o-o-o-one
Set in sto-o-o-o-one
Save me
Free me
The lyrics to BlackGryph0n & BAASIK's song Set In Stone speak of life, death, and the afterlife. The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer is trapped in a stone sarcophagus, unable to move or escape. Through the next set of lines, the singer begs to be set free from the imprisonment and the mind that tortures them, hinting at the idea of immortality as a curse and the inability to escape the never-ending cycle of life and death.
The singer questions whether others are also living in captivity, bound by the laws of a false reality. They express their desire to be free from the expectations that others have of them, stating that they cannot be what others want or need, and they are a "cursed entity" destined for eternal torment. The song's chorus continues to beg for freedom from the bonds that keep the singer trapped, both physically and mentally.
The song's middle section delves deeper into the concept of life and death, with the singer suggesting that life without purpose or gain is insane. They express their confusion and pain over the idea of being alive while their heart is not beating, possibly hinting at the idea of being technically alive but not truly living. The end of the song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desire to be saved and freed from the stone that encases them.

I've heard lots of good stuff by you guys, but this has to be the best thing I've listened to from you so far. You guys seriously need some sort of record label with all this talent.
Keep up the incredible work!
