Unfinished
Stone Sour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've given up on giving you my heart
I fuckin' hate it, you're jaded,
Think about the times we faked it
And realize that we tore this place apart
But there's no reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
With my fingers crossed behind my back, I let your words slip through my cracks
This person you perceived is dead and gone
I fuckin' hate it, you're jaded
We can scream for the hell we created
But this time I won't let you get me wrong
'Cause there's no reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
There's just no reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
Oh, you wanna hurt me before I go, you wanna break me down
But you'll never hear me, you'll never feel the way I feel
We're not finished here
'Cause there's no reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
There's just no reply from you
No matter what I do, I'll never get away from you
We're not finished here
The song "Unfinished" by Stone Sour talks about a toxic relationship that is past its breaking point. The main speaker is addressing their former partner who has consistently put them last and left them feeling unimportant. The singer has given up trying to give their heart to this person who seems to be jaded and stuck in fake memories. Despite their best efforts, there is no response or change from their former partner, and they feel trapped and unable to escape. The lyrics suggest that the relationship may be over, but there is still unfinished business between them.
The chorus becomes a mantra to emphasize that the singer cannot escape from the situation, even if they try. The use of the phrase "we're not finished" implies that there are still things left unsaid, emotions to be explored, and maybe even hope for reconciliation. The mention of "fingers crossed" suggests that the singer is lying to themselves and hoping for a different outcome when they know deep down that it is unlikely.
As the song progresses, it becomes evident that the former partner wants to hurt the singer further before they leave the relationship. However, the singer is determined to stand their ground and not let their former partner's actions affect them. The final repetition of "we're not finished here" could be interpreted as the singer's refusal to let the relationship define them, or it could signify that there is still hope for resolution between the two.
