Arrow
StoneFox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't go on this way
I'll never know how
Bright hearts can fade
And I'd go colder at the thought
Of turning out these lights
At the thought of breathing in
The darkness of the night
Hold on
Here we go
Last chance
Arrow
Hold on
Here we go
Last chance
With your arrow

I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love
I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love

I can't go on this way
Another lover
Lost in head space
And I can't breathe
Above the surface
I can't sleep
I know it's worth it

Hold on
Here we go
Last chance
Arrow
Hold on
Here we go
Last chance
With your arrow

I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love
I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love
I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love
I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love

I'll be there
The light of the sun
Always falling in love
I'll be there




The light of the sun
Always falling in love

Overall Meaning

The song Arrow by StoneFox carries a reflective nature in its lyrics. It showcases the uncertainty and reluctance to move on from heartbreak. The song starts with a confession of not being able to carry on the way things are, without ever knowing how the hearts that once burned bright can fade away.

The chorus of the song speaks of holding on, for it's the last chance with an arrow, personifying the last chance to capture the one thing that's desired. The light of the sun represents that one thing to the singer; the hope and love that they'll always fall for. They aspire to be there, to capture that light for themselves, so that they don't have to go on this way of being lost in headspace, unable to breathe above the surface.


Overall, Arrow can be interpreted as a song about finding hope in love, even in the face of heartbreak and loss. The lyrics represent the singer's desire to hold on to that hope, to not let go of that last chance they have to find what they're looking for.
