Wolftron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw a latch
And in your soul
It flickered on
And now it's off again
I've memorized the day
When you were
And you carried me back home again
(Oh, it's a lonely road
Won't you stay
Won't you stay
Won't you stay) x2
We can do this any other way...
Tell me what you dream about
When no one is there to catch you smile
Is it something warm...
Something delicate
Your working hands feel quite like stone
But they still seem soft and sensitive
When compared to your heart
(Oh, it's a lonely road
Won't you stay
Won't you stay
Won't you stay) x2
We can do this any other way...Oh, oh
There is no where left to run away...Oh, oh
Father, there is no one left
On this earth to impress
So please come home
Come back home
Twenty years have passed since
I have heard you say that life is good
But I'm losing hope
So come back home
(Oh, it's a lonely road
Won't you stay
Won't you stay
Won't you stay) x2
We can do this any other way...x2
There is no where left to run away...
The song "Stones" by Wolftron is a poignant and emotional piece about the struggle to connect with someone who is distant and elusive. The first verse speaks of a memory of a flickering latch, symbolizing the brief connection that the singer had with the person they are addressing. The second verse seems to ask the person what they dream about when they are alone, indicating a desire to understand them better even in their private moments. The bridge calls out to someone, perhaps a parent, who is absent and asks them to come back home. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the loneliness and desperation of the situation.
The lyrics of the song are rich in metaphor and symbolism. The flickering latch, representing a momentary connection, is one example of this. The skipping stones across the sea represent the fleetingness of life and the fact that nothing lasts forever. The working hands like stone that are still sensitive compared to the heart is another example of the contrast between the physical world and the emotional one. These metaphors serve to add depth and complexity to the emotion of the song, making it a more nuanced plea for connection.
In terms of the song's composition, the melody is simple and plaintive, emphasizing the emotion of the lyrics. The vocals are raw and emotional, adding to the feeling that the singer is really struggling to connect with someone important. The use of repetition in the chorus serves to reinforce the message of the song and the sense of desperation.
Line by Line Meaning
Somewhere in the distant past
In the faraway past, a time long gone by
I saw a latch
I remember seeing a lock or fastener
And in your soul
Deep inside of you, in your essence
It flickered on
It flashed or shone suddenly
And now it's off again
But now it's gone, extinguished once more
I've memorized the day
I still recall the exact day, etched in my mind
When you were
The moment in time when you were
Skipping stones across the sea
Throwing small rocks over water's surface to see them bounce
And you carried me back home again
And you helped me return home safe and sound
(Oh, it's a lonely road
Oh, it's a desolate path that lies ahead
Won't you stay
Please don't leave me alone
) x2
We can do this any other way...
We can find an alternative solution or approach
Tell me what you dream about
Share with me your secret aspirations and wishes
When no one is there to catch you smile
When no one is around to witness you smiling
Is it something warm...
Is it a comforting and pleasant vision
Something delicate
Something subtle, fragile, and intricate
Your working hands feel quite like stone
Your hands, rough from hard work, seem almost like they are made of stone
But they still seem soft and sensitive
Yet they retain an element of tenderness and perceptiveness
When compared to your heart
In contrast to your heart, which is more compassionate and empathetic
There is no where left to run away...
There is no escape, nowhere to flee
Father, there is no one left
Father, there is no one else remaining
On this earth to impress
That you need to prove yourself to or make an impact on this world
So please come home
So please return to us
Come back home
Return to where you belong
Twenty years have passed since
Two decades have gone by since then
I have heard you say that life is good
I have heard you express that life is enjoyable and positive
But I'm losing hope
However, I am starting to despair and lose faith
