Stone Feeling
Pietasters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been drinking since 1/2 past noon
All my friends have fallen around me
I've just been ending this mood
I stumble from my apartment
'Cause I've been putting in here for so long
I've been nothing where nothing's all past
All of my ex-girlfriends hate me
Because I've turned their lives into shame
There's just one love that burns inside me
It leaves me great and insane
[Chorus]
Hold onto that stone feeling
For as long as you can
Hold onto that stone feeling
For as long as you can
I got to go get my thing on
Before I dry up and blow away
Sunlight shines through my broken window
I'm burning love in the shade
I always knew I would love you
So I kept trying to come in again
My way of loving you badly holds me
I'll bet that it never ends
I know you're always there for me
You never treated me bad
This is the best kind of feeling to give me
The only love that I have
I know you'll never betray me
Spend time with you every day
All other men said it wasn't meant to be
Won't let them take you away
[Chorus: x 2]
The lyrics of the Pietasters' song Stone Feeling describe a person who is in a state of drunkenness and has lost almost everything in their life. The singer of the song has been drinking for almost half a day, and all of their friends have left. They feel completely empty, adrift, and hopeless. The only thing keeping them going is a deep, burning desire for someone they love, which they describe as leaving them 'great and insane.' The song encourages the listener to hold onto that feeling of love, no matter how difficult it may be.
In the second verse, the singer becomes more introspective, stating that they knew they would love this person all along, but never had the courage to pursue them. Their way of loving is flawed and has caused them to suffer, but they are willing to make amends and try again. The love they have for this person is the only thing they have left; the only thing that gives them hope.
Overall, the song Stone Feeling is a poignant and powerful depiction of someone who has lost everything but their love for another person. The lyrics are deeply emotional and convey a sense of desperation and longing. The song encourages us to hold onto the things we love, no matter what happens and to never give up hope.
Line by Line Meaning
It's 3 o'clock in the morning
It's the middle of the night and I'm awake
And I've been drinking since 1/2 past noon
I've been drinking for hours and hours, since early in the day
All my friends have fallen around me
All my friends are passed out from drinking
I've just been ending this mood
I'm continuing the mood I started earlier, just drinking and partying
I stumble from my apartment
I'm leaving my apartment unsteadily
'Cause I've been putting in here for so long
I've been living here for a long time
I've been nothing where nothing's all past
I've done nothing with my life and time has passed me by
And have my body reform
I'm destroying my body with the way I'm living
All of my ex-girlfriends hate me
All the women I used to date are angry at me
Because I've turned their lives into shame
Because I've caused them problems and embarrassment
There's just one love that burns inside me
I still have feelings for one person
It leaves me great and insane
My feelings for this person make me feel both happy and crazy
Hold onto that stone feeling
Hang onto the feeling of being in love
For as long as you can
For as long as possible
I got to go get my thing on
I need to get ready to party and have fun
Before I dry up and blow away
Before I lose my energy and enthusiasm
Sunlight shines through my broken window
Light is coming through my damaged window
I'm burning love in the shade
I'm trying to hide my love away
I always knew I would love you
I always had a feeling I would care deeply for this person
So I kept trying to come in again
So I kept trying to get back into their life
My way of loving you badly holds me
My love for you in a way that's not good for me keeps me trapped
I'll bet that it never ends
I believe my love for you will never go away
I know you're always there for me
I know you'll always be there to support me
You never treated me bad
You've always been good to me
This is the best kind of feeling to give me
This love is the best thing I've ever experienced
The only love that I have
This love is the only one I have
I know you'll never betray me
I trust that you'll never hurt me
Spend time with you every day
I want to be with you every day
All other men said it wasn't meant to be
Other people thought we wouldn't work as a couple
Won't let them take you away
I won't let anyone come between us
Hold onto that stone feeling
Hang onto the feeling of being in love
For as long as you can
For as long as possible
[Chorus: x 2]
The chorus repeats twice throughout the song
