Wicked Stone
Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel it down in my bones
Left the good all behind
Now I die on the vine
Waiting for my redemption song
I am never safe
Just a walking bomb
In a midnight rage
I'm getting off this wicked stone
'Cause I can't say
And I can't deny
That all I want is lost
No I can't face
Another night on this wicked stone
I rolled and tumbled down
And I curse 'till the morning light
From the mountain I fell
To the depths of hell
I was distant and born to find
Once a rolling stone
Now a falling star
Was so close to home
Now so far
I'm getting off this wicked stone
'Cause I can't say
And I can't deny
That all I want is lost
No I can't face
Another night on this wicked stone
Now, you might say I'm good for nothing
And I might say that you are right yeah
Can I crawl away from this ball and chain?
It's got me tethered to a world of pain
I'm digging my own grave this time
On this wicked stone tonight
I'm getting off this wicked stone (I'm getting off, this wicked stone)
'Cause I can't stay (cannot stay)
And I cannot deny that all I want (all I want)
All I want is lost (it's gone forever)
No I can't face (cannot face yeah)
Another night on this wicked stone
Say yeah!
This wicked stone!
Let me say yeah-yeah-yeah
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh-oh
Another night on this wicked stone
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah-oh
The lyrics of "Wicked Stone" by Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators speak of a person who has fallen from grace and is struggling to find redemption. The song's opening lines set the tone for a story about someone who left everything he cherished behind to follow a path that led him to darkness. He feels it in his bones, and it's something he can't shake off. He believes that his recklessness has turned him into a "walking bomb" that could explode anytime. He admits to being in a constant state of anger. That's why he knows he has to leave this "wicked stone" behind. Because facing another night on it will only bring more despair.
The chorus sums up the singer's dilemma. He can't say or deny that all he wants is lost. He has nothing left to hold on to, and he's come to terms with that. The lines "Now you might say I'm good for nothing/ And I might say that you are right yeah" show a person resigned to their fate. He knows he's made mistakes, and he won't run away from the consequences. The song ends with a plea for release from the "world of pain" that he's trapped in.

Last night in paradise
I had a good time last night
I can feel it down in my bones
I have a strong intuition about something
Left the good all behind
I abandoned everything good in my life
Now I die on the vine
I'm withering away without purpose
Waiting for my redemption song
Hoping for a second chance
I am never safe
I'm constantly in danger
Just a walking bomb
I'm unpredictable and may explode at any moment
In a midnight rage
I'm filled with anger and frustration
Then I'm gone
I quickly disappear
I'm getting off this wicked stone
I'm leaving this negative situation behind
'Cause I can't say
I'm unable to speak up
And I can't deny
I can't pretend that everything is okay
That all I want is lost
I have lost everything I wanted
No I can't face
I can't handle it anymore
Another night on this wicked stone
I can't survive through another terrible experience
I rolled and tumbled down
I fell hard
And I curse 'till the morning light
I'm angry all night long until sunrise
From the mountain I fell
I experienced a great fall from success
To the depths of hell
I'm stuck in a terrible situation
I was distant and born to find
I've always been searching for something, even if it's far away
Once a rolling stone
I used to be carefree and always on the move
Now a falling star
I'm failing and losing my shine
Was so close to home
I thought I was close to success
Now so far
I'm far from achieving my goals
Now, you might say I'm good for nothing
Some people may see me as worthless
And I might say that you are right yeah
I may agree with their assessment
Can I crawl away from this ball and chain?
Can I escape from this burden that's holding me back?
It's got me tethered to a world of pain
It's keeping me tied to a life of suffering
I'm digging my own grave this time
I'm causing my own downfall in this situation
Say yeah!
Expressing agreement or affirmation
This wicked stone!
This negative situation
Let me say yeah-yeah-yeah
I agree and want to express it
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, I completely understand
Oh-oh
Expressing frustration or disappointment
Another night on this wicked stone
I refuse to endure another terrible experience
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah
Expressing agreement, affirmation or understanding
Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah-oh
Reaffirming agreement or understanding
