These Rocks Have Energy
MU330 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kind I think she really needs.
[Chorus]
These rocks have energy,
The kind I think she really needs.
And these leaves have energy,
The kind I think I know she needs.
I stood right in the centre,
Looked up and wished her better,
The rocks, the sky, the leaves,
The wind, they all just worked together.
That's when I stretched out my arms,
That's when I held my head up high,
I wished her for some comfort,
Instead I saw more pain in sight.
[Chorus]
If something could send her someone,
The rocks could, they look so strong.
This rock is way too heavy,
She needs help send her steady.
It took some pain to get here,
It took some sweat, it took some fear.
She's so much stronger than me,
Half her heart cut out, still smiling.
[Chorus: x2]
These rocks have energy,
These leaves have energy.
These rocks have energy,
These leaves have energy.
In MU330's song "Rock," the lyrics speak to the idea of finding comfort, strength, and support in the natural world around us. The singer sees the rocks, the sky, the leaves, and the wind working together to create an energy that he believes his loved one needs. He stands in the center of it all, wishing and hoping for her to feel better, but instead sees more pain. The chorus repeats the idea that these rocks and leaves have the energy that he thinks she needs.
The imagery in this song is incredibly powerful, as the natural world is personified with a strength and resilience that the singer sees as lacking in his loved one. He wishes for some kind of external force to come and take the weight off of her, but ultimately recognizes that she is far stronger than he is, even in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Rock" is a poignant and introspective song that explores themes of pain, support, and the interconnectedness of the world around us. It recognizes that while there may be moments of darkness and struggle, there is always a source of strength and energy to draw from if we look for it in the right places.
