Stones
Hardkiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long ago wisemen were
Walking through a desert over there
They were running away from this world
Long ago wisemen truly found
That indeed our planet is round
And there's no way to run away
And they turned into stones
Silent observers of the world
(Ah, ah, ah, ah...)
It's time to gather stones
It's time to figure out this world alone
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones
It's time to gather stones
It's time to figure out this world alone
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones
Ever since time has passed
Through the years, through the north and west
They were looking at us out of the sand
People were falling in love again
People were fighting till the end
And the wisemen were keeping the secret from us
'Cause they turned into stones
Silent observers of the world
(Ah, ah, ah, ah...)
It's time to gather stones
It's time to figure out this world alone
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones
It's time to gather stones
It's time to figure out this world alone
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones
(Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na...)
It's time to gather stones
It's time to figure out this world alone
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones (coming out of)
It's time to gather stones




It's time to figure out this world alone
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones

Overall Meaning

The song “Stones” by Hardkiss is a philosophical reflection on the perception of time and wisdom. The chorus emphasizes a call to action: it's time to gather stones and figure out this world alone. The song starts by narrating the story of old wise men who discovered the world is round and that there is no way to run away. The repeated reference to the wisemen turning into “silent observers of the world” suggests the power of stillness, reflection, and contemplation. The central idea here revolves around a sense of enlightenment that can be found by embracing the wisdom of ancient times, a symbolism embodied in the image of wise men turning into stones.


The lyrics suggest that humanity needs to reflect more deeply on the timeless wisdom that has existed for centuries. The chorus is a reminder that the world can be understood in solitude and that in this process, we can catch the fire that's coming out of the stones. Here, the fire is a metaphor for a deeper insight into human existence. The song's ending repeats the chorus, signifying the continuous search for the fire that illuminates the wisdom hidden in the stones.


Line by Line Meaning

Long ago wisemen were
Many years ago, wise men existed


Walking through a desert over there
These wise men were walking through a desert


They were running away from this world
These wise men were trying to escape from the world


Long ago wisemen truly found
The wise men discovered something important long ago


That indeed our planet's round
They discovered that the Earth is round


And there's no way to run away
They realized that there is no escaping the world


And they turned into stones
These wise men became silent observers of the world, unable to participate or communicate


Silent observers of the world
The wise men became quiet and detached from the world


Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nonverbal expression of emotion


It's time to gather stones
Now is the time to collect these stones


It's time to figure out this world alone
It's time to understand the world on our own


Catch this fire That's coming out of stones
Grasp the passion that is emanating from the stones


Ever since time has passed
Throughout time


Through the years, through the north and west
Through ages and regions


They were looking at us out of the sand
The wise men were observing us from their stone form in the sand


People were falling in love again
Over time, people fell in love anew


People were fighting till the end
People would fight to the death


And the wisemen were keeping the secret from us
The wise men were holding a secret from us


'Cause they turned into stones
The reason for their silence is their stony state


Time to gather stones
It's time to collect these stones

Чтобы не было войны казахам вместо "нетхуйне" достаточно писать на казахском, а не на языке страны которая в прошлом колонизировала вас и имеет к вам те же территориальные и культурные притензии. И мир изменится)(без обид, не знаю умеете ли на каком-то языке ещё говорить)
