Anywhere
Grobschnitt Lyrics

the owl flies crying tears of stone
and the sun's fire's far too strong
there where nothing left to do
but survive as best you can
or cover up your skin from the burning sand

These lyrics from Grobschnitt's song Anywhere paint a picture of a harsh and unforgiving environment. The first line, "Anywhere on a desert stone," describes a location that is barren and desolate, with nothing but rocks to be found. The idea of being "anywhere so far from home" emphasizes the isolation of the singer, with no signs of civilization in sight.

The line "where the owl flies crying tears of stone" is a metaphor for the haunting and melancholic nature of the setting. Owls are known for their eerie hooting and their ability to see in the dark, emphasizing the strange and otherworldly aspect of this location. The "tears of stone" further emphasize the barren and lifeless nature of the environment.

The next couple of lines, "and the sun's fire's far too strong / there where nothing left to do," describe the oppressive and unforgiving heat that characterizes this place. The last line, "or cover up your skin from the burning sand," suggests that survival in this location is a constant struggle, where even the simplest tasks can be dangerous.
