Stone Jesus
Buzz Poets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my head I heard a sound
Stone-face Jesus looking down
Caught my eye so I turned around
Stone-faced Jesus looking down
And I understood
Yes I
Felt the rain from the sky
Stone-faced Jesus starts to cry
'Cause all we're living is a lie
Stone-faced Jesus starts to cry
And I know why
Yes I
There was nothing left to say
Stone-faced Jesus turned away
No one listened anyway
Stone-faced Jesus turned away
And I start to cry




Yes I
(Lyrics & Music by Todd Demont)

Overall Meaning

The Buzz Poets' song "Stone Jesus" begins with the singer hearing a sound in his head, which leads him to turn around and see a statue of Jesus with a "stone face" looking down at him. This image seems to shake something loose in the singer's mind, and he begins to understand something profound about himself and the world around him. As the rain begins to fall, the statue of Jesus starts to cry, perhaps mirroring the singer's own emotional state. The song ends with the singer feeling overwhelmed and alone, as the statue of Jesus turns away and no one seems to be listening to his cries.


The lyrics of "Stone Jesus" are open to interpretation, but one possible reading is that they explore the theme of disillusionment with religion or spirituality. The statue of Jesus, with its unyielding, "stone face," represents an idea of faith that is unresponsive to the messy realities of life on earth. The singer recognizes the emptiness of this kind of faith, and feels that all he's been taught is a "lie." The statue's tears could also be seen as a symbol of the singer's own tears, as he grieves for the loss of his illusions about religion.


Overall, "Stone Jesus" is a haunting, thought-provoking song that invites listeners to grapple with big questions about faith, disillusionment, and emotional honesty.
