1. Stone was a female French singer who had a solo yé-yé career in the 60s. Born Annie Gautrat on July 31, 1947, she released ~12 EPs. Several of her songs have appeared on recent French 60s pop compilations like Ultra Chicks and Femmes De Paris. In 1966, she married French rock artist Eric Charden and they went on to form the popular duo Stone et Charden.
2. Stone was a thrash metal band that formed in Kerava, Finland in the mid-1980s. It released four albums during the late 1980s and early 1990s, before disbanding in 1991 to pursue different musical directions. Stone reunited to play a final set of concerts in 2000, and then again in 2008.
Despite their rather short career, Stone's legacy has provided inspiration for many of the countless metal bands who emerged during the popularity explosion of the genre during the 1990s. Perhaps the most notable of these bands is Children of Bodom, whose lead guitarist Alexi Laiho credits former Stone member and current Sinergy and Children of Bodom bandmate Roope Latvala as a major influence on his playing.
Along Roope Latvala, the other musicians that performed in Stone were bassist/vocalist Janne Joutsenniemi (currently in Suburban Tribe), drummer Pekka Kasari (later in Amorphis and Ajattara, currently in Pahuuden prototyyppi) and two other guitarists: Jiri Jalkanen, who was one of the founding members, and Markku Niiranen, who replaced Jalkanen in 1990.
3. STONE are also a punk rock band formed in Liverpool, United Kingdom, consisting of Fin Power (vocals), Eliiot Gill (guitar), Sarah Surrage (bass) and Alex Smith (drums). They released the first of a series of singles in 2020 ('Leave It Out') and the punkadonk EP in 2022.
4. Stone is also the name of a prog-rock group from Melbourne, Australia, fronted by bassist extraordinaire Keith Stone.

Escape
Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes are blinded
Sorrow in my head, pain fills my brain
I'm gonna explode unless I get
Speed in my vein
God knows I want to break free
But the pain is too much
I know this ain't the right way out
What could I do, I couldn't
Face to truth
Fight the truth, forget it
Escape from reality
Killing my feelings and lightning
My brain
The easiest way to forgive myself
Run, hide
Fight, hard
Run, hide
But I'll die
My time is running out, my end nears
I must change, I must see the light
Only God could help me, He'd give the power
But I can't live without speed
Am I a coward ?
Run, hide - try to escape
Fight, hard - but there's no way out
Run, hide - try to escape
But I'll die - my time's run out
Damage crept up on me, pain turned too high
My brain was overloaded, ready to blow up
What was in my mind before
It was emptied ...
Let's go !
Feeling things suck my brain out
Flaming in my head
Now I'm resting in peace without pain
But there's one thing you should know
I died with joy
Run, hide - try to escape
Fight, hard - but there's no way out
Run, hide - try to escape
But I'll die - my time's run out
The song "Escape" by Stone is a powerful and intense portrayal of a person struggling with addiction and trying to escape the pain and reality of their situation. The lyrics describe the singer's feelings of being trapped and overwhelmed by their pain, which fills their head and threatens to consume them. The only way out that they can see is to numb themselves with drugs, and they are torn between wanting to break free and feeling like there is no other way to escape.
The song touches on themes of addiction, desperation, and the struggle to find redemption. The singer is seeking help from God but knows that ultimately, they are the only one who can save themselves. The lyrics also convey a sense of urgency, with the singer feeling like their time is running out and they need to find a solution before it's too late.
The repeated refrain of "Run, hide, fight hard, but I'll die" emphasizes the sense of hopelessness and futility in the singer's struggle. Despite wanting to escape and knowing that they are on a destructive path, they feel powerless to change their situation. In the end, the song takes a tragic turn, with the singer finding peace only in death.

Feeling things suck my brain out
Flaming in my head
The drugs are taking over my mind and I feel like I'm on fire
Now I'm resting in peace without pain
But there's one thing you should know
I died with joy
I have passed away and am finally free from my struggles, finding happiness only in death
Run, hide - try to escape
Fight, hard - but there's no way out
But I'll die - my time's run out
I have tried to run, I have tried to fight, but it's too late for me, and death is imminent
