Stone
Whiskey Myers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is my companion
And the highway is my home
Got me seeking for one last beacon
Every single place I roam
They say Jesus was a poor man
I guess I wish I had a little more him in me
Make it easier going on living
Heart ache and misery

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Have you turned to stone?

Well I guess I got my bottle
I still hold it all the time
But it keeps me smiling and singing
Helps me fall asleep a little bit better at night
They say life is like a dagger
Backstage is full of parasites
They love you and drain you of everything you own
Just to feel better about their life

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Have you turned to stone?

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Sweet, sweet love of mine I'm going to break again a million times




Or is this too far gone?
Have you turned to stone?

The lyrics convey a sense of self-reflection and growth, as the singer assesses his past mistakes and personality, wondering if the person he sees in the mirror is only a façade. He feels haunted by his past and the things he's done, but he's learning to come to terms with them and trying to become a better person. The verses convey a sense of solemnity, as the singer contemplates the darker side of his personality and how it's affected his life. He admits to his past wrongdoings and the times when he felt like he was losing his mind. Despite his challenges, he's trying to learn how to move forward and focus on the positive things in his life.

The band is known for their earnest lyrics and blend of Southern rock, blues, and country influences.

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't like what I see
Doubting self-image and wondering if the darker side of one's life will be understood


And I wonder if she'll ever know the darker side of me
Questioning if the partner will know everything about the darker side


Is my reflection just a shell of the truth?
Wondering if the reflection hides certain truths


Am I the living or am I the dying proof
Uncertain of whether living or dying is more proof of one's existence


I'm learning to move slow
Trying to slow down in life


I'm learning to let go
Learning to let go of the things that hold one down


I'm learning most things a man my age is supposed to know
Trying to catch up on the things a person is expected to know at this age


And I'm learning how to write
Improving communication skills by learning to write


I'm learning how to sleep at night
Learning to get a peaceful night's sleep


I'm learning after these years how to be thankful for what I got
Learning to appreciate what one has after spending years chasing things


Sometimes I think I'm crazy, washed up in the brain
Feeling mentally disturbed and lost most of the time


And as for my youth I threw most of those years away
Regretful of the way youth has been spent without a plan or goal


And I can't even apologize for half the things I've done
Unable to say sorry for a significant portion of wrongdoings


Or all the nights spent looking down the wrong end of a gun
Regretful of the nights spent fighting and using violence


But I'm learning how to love
Learning the true meaning of love


I'm learning 'bout the Lord above
Understanding the concept of God and religion


I'm learning that he's giving me more than anything I could dream of
Realizing that God has blessed with more than what could have been asked for


And I'm learning how to pray a little more everyday
Practicing prayer more frequently each day


I'm learning to accept the things about me I can't change
Trying to accept the flaws and shortcomings one cannot change


Yeah, I carry on with this heart of stone and calloused hands
Moving ahead despite having a tough exterior and being rough around the edges

Helps me fall asleep a little bit better at night
They say life is like a dagger

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is this too far gone?
Sweet, Sweet love of mine I'm going to break again a million times
Or is it too far gone?
Have you turned to stone?
