Stones
Chris Wood & Meat Lyrics

Try to hold it but it vanishes from my hands
Things that we try to hold onto often slip away from us

Try to swim in it, I wind up on cold sand
Trying to dive in may lead to an undesirable result, like finding oneself stranded and cold

Try to cut it but I cannot make the knife go
It's difficult to make progress or take control of something that is intangible or uncertain

Try running but my legs are moving too slow
Feeling stuck or unable to move forward despite our efforts

So I wait for the wind, burn my head again
Waiting for a sign or direction, hoping for change even though we may get hurt again

A million dollars doesn't buy you much of anything
Money can't buy happiness and we can't buy our way out of every problem

'Cause nothing you can feel good really stays
Even things that bring us happiness or success are temporary and eventually fade away

And I won't feel the rocks when I'm diving in
Choosing to dive in despite the risks, accepting that sometimes we won't feel the bumps and bruises we may get along the way

It's like I tell, it won't be so
Reaffirming oneself that things will be okay despite any doubts or uncertainty

I'll see it, I'll see it
Believing in our ability to eventually see or understand something that may seem unclear right now

These eyes are really made of stone
Referring to oneself as someone who is strong but may also be unemotional or hard-headed

I don't see it, I don't see it
Acknowledging that sometimes we don't understand things, as well as highlighting the importance of introspection

Makes me dizzy but I always like a good spin
Enjoying the ups and downs of life, even though they may be disorienting

Think I'm treading in the puddle that I'm standing in
Feeling like we're stuck in place, unable to progress or get out of our current situation
