Stones
LIVING ROOM - Sonic Youth Lyrics

Lights on the stones on backed up drain
The room is dimly lit with the light reflecting off the stones and the drain is clogged.

Warped lovers loosed on languid stain
The people in the room are passionate and are enjoying the moment, even though there is a sense of laziness.

We've come together to gather stars
We are united to achieve a common goal, which is to obtain something brilliant and special.

Shooting up stones our powdered hearts
Our hearts are energetic and alive, and they keep accelerating like stones that keep hitting each other.

Dead or alive
There is a sense of threatening danger in the air.

There's danger
The place is not completely safe.

The dead are all right, with me
Even though there is danger, there are people who are willing to face it and still enjoy themselves.

We're not gonna run away,
We will not give up or abandon our efforts due to the dangers that might come our way.

We're not gonna leave you stranger
No one will be left behind, and we will not let anyone feel isolated or alone.

Turn the light on, yr lonely love
Bring your lover into the light and make sure they are not feeling lonely or neglected.

Camera on the haunted stones
The scene is being captured and remembered forever, like a haunting memory.

Bloodshed a gentle painted score
Even though there is blood, the atmosphere is still gentle and romantic.

Notes dance in ink across yr skin
The music and emotion of the room feel alive and permanent, like ink that lasts forever on the skin.

Hieroglyphic lover, nature friend
The love story and surroundings are ancient and mysterious, like hieroglyphics, but the love is still grounded in nature.
