Sticks and Stones
DVJ FREEZ present. The Pierces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, domino
I am stopping you from falling
One, two, three
Don't you dare go down

Hey, waterfall
Oh, can you hear me calling?
Three, two, one
Don't you dare touch the ground

I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want

Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave you lying in the mud
But you get scared when we're alone
Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell
But it just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I'm having fun
And it's awfully hard to stop
It's awfully hard to stop

Sun in the sky
I am stopping you from burning
All we need
Is stars and moon

Clock on the wall
I will keep your hands from turning
Or this night
Will end too soon

I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want

Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave you lying in the mud
But you get scared when we're alone
Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell
But it just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I'm having fun
And it's awfully hard to stop
It's awfully hard to stop
It's just too hard to stop

I call thee, beloved one
To love me more than anyone
Seven times I pierce my heart
And now you feel the magic start

Bind thy heart and soul to me
As I do will
So let it be, oh

Hey, loverboy
Oh, now do you believe me?
That's not all
That I can do

Sit back down
I'm afraid we won't be leaving
Can't undo
My spell on you

I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)
I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)
I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)
I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)

I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)
I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)
I'm the one you want (I'm the one you want)
I'm the one you want

Sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave you lying in the mud
But you get scared when we're alone
Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell
But you just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I'm having fun
And it's awfully hard to stop

Well, sticks and stones will break your bones
And leave you lying in the mud
But you get scared when we're alone
Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell
But you just might blow your top
And you start to run just as I'm having fun
And it's awfully hard to stop
It's awfully hard to stop




It's just too hard to stop
I don't think I can stop

Overall Meaning

The Pierces' song "Sticks and Stones" is a spellbinding track that combines dark lyrics with enchanting melodies. The song is sung from the perspective of a witch who has the power to cast spells on her lover. The lyrics initially begin as a call to stop a domino from falling, to stop a waterfall from touching the ground, and to stop the sun from burning. The witch assures her lover throughout the song that she is the only one he wants, and during the chorus, she warns him that sticks and stones will break his bones if he does not obey her. However, this warning does not stop the witch from casting a love spell on him, as she claims, "I call thee, beloved one, to love me more than anyone. Bind thy heart and soul to me, as I do will. So let it be."


The verses of the song weave intricate details of witchcraft into the lyrics, creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere. The Witch warns that she could tell a witch's spell that might "blow your top," and the lover gets scared of her while they are alone. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Sticks and stones will break your bones and leave you lying in the mud, but you get scared when we're alone, like I might suck your blood." The witch's power is illustrated through the urgency in her voice, urging her lover to listen carefully to avoid consequences.


The song's mood shifts in the bridge section, as the tempo slows down and the witch speaks directly to her lover, telling him that he is not leaving any time soon. In the end, the witch concludes that it is too hard to stop the spell, and she cannot stop herself from using her magic on him. The track enchants with its dark lyrics, haunting melody, and powerful vocals, leaving listeners spellbound by the witchy and mysterious atmosphere it creates.

My friend David sadly died this Friday, I just was thinking about all the fun times I had with him and I remember him getting so excited to yell out too this song, he would always
Yell out "I smoke my dope and pop my perky" and I would just sing along with him... It's ironic that the way he died was a drug overdose from perks. I knew he did perks but I never would of thought it would kill him so soon.. I miss you brotha! I'll never forget you. You were the most hyped personally I've ever met in this world.. R I P in loving memory of, David Matthew opsahl. ❤️😔
