Stories Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm still navigating
The physics of defeat
The gravity's suspending
Inside malicious heat
But I can't keep holding
It's made me weak
I can't keep folding
Beneath my fate
So I won't run
But I won't stay
Face the damage
Of yesterday
Please believe me
Show me faith




Toxic stories
Can end with grace

Overall Meaning

The song "Stories" by the band Stories is a reflective and introspective track that touches on themes of defeat, inner conflict, and growth. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with some sort of past failure, and is wrestling with the negative self-talk and doubt that often accompanies such experiences. The line "The physics of defeat/The gravity's suspending/Inside malicious heat" paints a vivid picture of the weight of failure, and the way in which it can feel all-encompassing and suffocating.


However, despite the sense of hopelessness and despair conveyed in these words, the song ultimately has a message of resilience and survival. The lyrics "So I won't run/But I won't stay/Face the damage/Of yesterday" suggest that while the singer is unwilling to simply give up or ignore their pain, they are also not going to be held captive by it. Instead, they choose to confront their past and work through the hurt in order to move forward. The final line "Toxic stories/Can end with grace" is a powerful statement about the potential for growth and transformation even in the face of difficult circumstances.
