Set In Stone
Black Peaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set in stone, is how we lie
Memories, will surround
A taste, of the light
Cold, is sound
Memories, will surround
Worked for pay
Lost out
To change
Memories, will surround
A taste, of the light
Worked for pay
Memories, will surround
A taste of the light
Of what I heard you say
You'll never see my way
Of all the things we've said
We'll always be this way
Forever
Memories, will surround
A taste of the light
Memories, will surround
A taste of the light
Can't you hear my name
It won't feel the same
Buried hands in shame
You can't hear my name
The lyrics of Black Peak's "Set in Stone" revolve around the idea of permanence and the consequences that come along with it. The opening line, "Cold, is sound," serves as a metaphor for the idea that once something is set in stone, it becomes unchanging and unyielding, much like the coldness that surrounds it. The line, "Set in stone, is how we lie," suggests that as humans, we often hold onto rigid beliefs and perspectives, even if they are not the most rational or beneficial. The subsequent lines, "Memories will surround, a taste of the light," evoke a sense of nostalgia, lamenting the passing of time and the fleeting nature of our experiences.
The later lines, "Worked for pay, lost out, to change" signify that despite putting in effort towards something, sometimes there is a wrench in the plan that brings everything crashing down. This can lead to a cycle of memories surrounding a taste of the past, leaving very little room for growth and progress. This theme of rigidity and stagnation continues in the final stanza where the lines, "Of what I heard you say, you'll never see my way; forever," suggest a sense of hopelessness in being able to change someone's opinion, despite having communicated our own.
