Solid as a Stone
Stephen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone, solid as a stone
Leave me on the high-rise then we watch the time fly
All my problems fall off lookin' at the roof top

If I can write the end
Then I could write the rest
You're afraid to climb this high
But we're made to fall a trillion times

And I sat, all alone
Solid as a stone
Fallin' down, I found a home
Solid as a stone
Up here, there were no lies; just an honest skyline
The city's just a small light, can't believe I lost sight

If we can take the fall
Then we can have it all
If you're afraid to climb this high
We'll never know what it's like

And I sat, all alone
Solid as a stone




Fallin' down, I found a home
Solid as a stone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stephen's song "Solid as a Stone" describe the feeling of being alone but at the same time having a sense of solidity and safety. The first verse starts with "All alone, solid as a stone", which conveys the idea that even though the person might be alone, they feel rock solid and unbreakable. The second half of the verse talks about watching time fly and problems falling away while looking at the rooftop. This symbolizes a sense of detachment from the world's problems and being able to take a step back and look at life from a different perspective.


The second verse talks about the idea of being able to control one's destiny by being able to write the end, and hence writing the rest of the story. The lyrics imply that although it's scary to climb the high-rise and take risks, we must do so to experience life's ups and downs fully. The chorus "And I sat, all alone, Solid as a stone, Fallin' down, I found a home, Solid as a stone" reinforces the idea that even when everything is falling apart, we can find a sense of a safe haven by being steadfast.


Overall, the song is about the strength and power of an individual in facing the world's hardships. In a way, it is a call to embrace the unknown and take risks to ultimately find one's true purpose in life.


Line by Line Meaning

All alone, solid as a stone
Being alone, feeling steadfast and unshakeable


Leave me on the high-rise then we watch the time fly
Allow me to be left alone on a tall building, where I can reflect on the passage of time


All my problems fall off lookin' at the roof top
When I look at the rooftop, my problems disappear


If I can write the end
If I can decide the outcome


Then I could write the rest
Then I could create the entire story


You're afraid to climb this high
You're afraid to take risks


But we're made to fall a trillion times
We're meant to experience countless failures


And I sat, all alone
I stayed in solitude


Solid as a stone
As tough and sturdy as a rock


Fallin' down, I found a home
When I hit rock bottom, I found a sense of belonging


Up here, there were no lies; just an honest skyline
On top of the building, there were no deceits, only a truthful skyline


The city's just a small light, can't believe I lost sight
The city appears to be insignificant from this height, I can't believe I lost perspective


If we can take the fall
If we can endure the failure


Then we can have it all
Then we can achieve everything we desire


If you're afraid to climb this high
If you're not willing to take risks


We'll never know what it's like
We'll never experience the rewards of taking risks

LYRICS LYRICS LYRICS

All alone,
Solid as a stone.

Leave me on the highrise,
Let me watch the time fly.
All my problems fall off,
Looking off the rooftop.

If I can ride the edge,
Then I can ride the rest.

You're afraid to climb this high,
But we're made to fall a trillion times.

And I sat,
All alone,
Solid as a stone.

Falling down,
I found a home,
Solid as a stone.

Up here there are no lies,
Just an honest skyline.
The city's just a small light,
Can't believe I lost sight.

If we can take the fall,
Then we can have it all.

If you're afraid to climb this high,
You'll never know what it's like.

And I sat,
All alone,
Solid as a stone.

Falling down,
I found a home,
Solid as a stone.



Ninad Gujarathi

All alone
Solid as a stone
Leave me on the high rise
Let me watch the time fly
All my problems fall off
Looking at the rooftop
If I could write the end
Then I could write the rest
You’re afraid to climb this high
You’ve made the fall a trillion times
And I said, all alone
Solid as a stone
Falling down, I found a home
Solid as a stone
Up here there were no lies
Just another skyline
City’s just a small light
Can’t believe I lost sight
If we could take the fall
Then we could have it all
If you’re afraid to climb this high
You’ll never know what it’s like
And I said, all alone
Solid as a stone
Falling down, I found a home
Solid as a stone.

Every bit of this song is done by Stephen, if that is absolute talent I don't know what is.

questions exe

It's like PRINCE.
More people will recognize one day.
But I hope not. I hope he makes enough to live comfortably, but I wouldn't wish TAFKAP's fame on anyone.

He's done the guitar, launchpad, drum, piano, and the voice. Modern singer has nothing compare to him

like if you agree

If Eden, Stephen and Tristam ever made a collab. I guess it'll be the best song ever.

Too many chefs in the kitchen ruins the broth.

ShloKing

Shinigami or Guccihighwaters or somebody like that for some raps in there too.
Also, look up 8 Graves, they'd be awesome in there too.
