Stone Sour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you need me?
Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay
Do you believe me?
Maybe I can't be the man of your dreams
But I can save you.
You were never really gone and it seems
That you can feel it too.
So don't look so surprised!
Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Would listen to a fool like me
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
And show you that you'll never be free
You're not supposed to feel this right
One is always better if you can't have two
Now that I have nothing while can't have you
You left me once, don't you leave me twice
'Cause no one is alone, no one is alone
Tell me again how I'm on your mind
You're always on mine
Tell me it's really just a matter of time
And I'll believe a lie
I can't see the sun because you're stars are in my eyes
So don't look so surprised
Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Would listen to a fool like me
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
And show you that you'll never be free
You're not supposed to feel this right
One is always better if you can't have two
Now that I have nothing while can't have you
You left me once, don't you leave me twice
'Cause no one is alone, no one is alone
Oh what am I gonna do, you feel so right
Nothing is forever if it can't be true
Now that I am nothing I have to have you
You loved me once, you better love me twice
'Cause no one is alone, no one is alone
Tell me again why you're running away
Do you need me?
Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay
The lyrics of Stone Sour's song Anna seem to suggest a complicated relationship between two people. The song talks about a woman who is running away from someone or something, and the singer is trying to figure out why. He questions her motives for leaving him and wonders if he can save her from whatever she's running from. The lyrics suggest that the woman has left the singer before and he doesn't want to lose her again. He wants her to know that she's not alone and that she can come back to him if she needs to.
The song talks about the idea of a fool trying to save another fool. The singer feels like he's not the man of the woman's dreams, but he's still willing to try to save her from herself. He even admits that he's one of the idiots that surround her, trying to do what they can to make her happy. The idea of being foolish for love is a common theme in many songs, and this song is no exception.
The song also touches on the idea of being alone. The singer wants the woman to know that she's not alone, and that he's there for her. He wants her to love him twice because no one is truly alone. This idea of being alone and needing love is something that many people can relate to, making the song a hit with many listeners.

Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay

But I can save you.
Offering to provide help and support
You were never really gone and it seems

Sensing shared emotions
We won't see the stars if the sun is in our eyes
Unable to appreciate other good things while stuck in a bad situation
So don't look so surprised!
Warned against unexpected outcomes
Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Making fun of self for being naive
Would listen to a fool like me
Questioning why someone would take advice from another inexperienced person
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
Stooping to a lower level to get noticed
And show you that you'll never be free
Believing there's no way out of a bad situation
You're not supposed to feel this right
Feeling guilty for experiencing positive emotions in a difficult scenario
One is always better if you can't have two
Settling for less when there are no better options
Now that I have nothing while can't have you
Being in a situation where one has nothing while yearning for someone who's unattainable
You left me once, don't you leave me twice
Begging not to be abandoned again
'Cause no one is alone, no one is alone
Trying to convince oneself that they aren't alone even in a tough time
Tell me again how I'm on your mind
Asking for confirmation of being thought of
You're always on mine
Admitting someone is frequently on the mind
Tell me it's really just a matter of time
Hoping for validation that resolution is upcoming
And I'll believe a lie
Willing to accept false hope
I can't see the sun because you're stars are in my eyes
Unable to focus on present possibilities due to an unattainable desire
So don't look so surprised
Warned against unexpected outcomes
Oh what am I gonna do, you feel so right
Feeling lost and confused when the unattainable desire is better aligned with personal interests
Nothing is forever if it can't be true
Considering that the desired outcome may not be possible
Now that I am nothing I have to have you
Feeling a sense of worthlessness without the desired person
You loved me once, you better love me twice
Expecting that past affection will continue
'Cause no one is alone, no one is alone
Trying to convince oneself that they aren't alone even in a tough time
Tell me again why you're running away
Asking to describe the reasons for leaving
Do you need me?
Questioning if their presence is essential
Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay
No place to reside
