Set In Stone
Cast Aside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Die you motherfucker
Can't run away from me
You try to fucking change me
You'll never get your way
With every breath you take
Your time is running out
My ways are set in stone
There's nothing left for you

You can't run away from me
What you have
I'll take away from you
Now I know the fucking truth
You don't have shit to say now

Die you motherfucker
Can't run away from me
With every breath you take
Your time is running out

You try to force on me
Your lies and your poison
Not me I chose to
Live my life free and clear
You think you're above
You are going to fall hard
I know I have got




One chance at life
Keep it clear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cast Aside's song Set In Stone are intensely primal and cathartic. The song speaks to an intense anger and frustration with someone who has tried to change the singer, but ultimately fails. The repeated refrain of "Die you motherfucker" speaks to the desire for vengeance against this person, while the lines "You try to force on me/Your lies and your poison/Not me, I chose to/Live my life free and clear" show a fierce determination to remain true to oneself despite the efforts of others. The line "My ways are set in stone" speaks to a sense of unchanging identity and purpose.


The song's chorus, "Can't run away from me/What you have/I'll take away from you/Now I know the fucking truth/You don't have shit to say now" speaks to a desire to assert power over this person who has been trying to control the singer's life. As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly violent and visceral, culminating in the repeated line "Die you motherfucker." This is a song about standing up for oneself, about refusing to be controlled or manipulated.


Overall, Set In Stone is a powerful anthem of empowerment and defiance. It speaks to the universal human desire to be free and independent, and the intense anger and frustration that can arise when someone tries to take that away.
