Throwing Rocks
Unveiling Emotions: Love, Regret, and Secrets in 'Throwing Rocks'
Lyrics
Summer, you used to sneak out
Reflecting on past experiences during the summer when the singer and the subject used to sneak out.
Of your best friend's house
Describing the location where they used to meet, which is Windermere Park, and the secrecy involved.
Meet me up at Windermere Park
Expressing the singer's longing, having not seen the subject in a month, and questioning if others have made her laugh like the singer does.
I haven't seen you in a month and I wonder
Wondering about the influence of older boys known to the subject's cousin on her.
If all the older boys your cousin knew
Reflecting on the unique way the singer makes the subject laugh at parties.
Ever tried to make you laugh
Empty line for artistic pause.
Like me at her parties
Continuation of the singer's reflection on his impact on the subject.
And maybe it'll take a little
Expressing hope that the subject will eventually realize the impact of her mistakes on the singer.
While for you to see
Suggesting that the subject may need time to understand the consequences of her actions.
That all of your mistakes your mistakes
Highlighting the impact of the subject's mistakes on the singer and expressing emotional pain.
Your mistakes can't you see
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional distress caused by the subject's mistakes.
That you're hurting me
Directly expressing the emotional pain caused by the subject's actions.
And maybe it'll take a little
Reiterating the hope that the subject will realize the consequences of her actions over time.
While for you to see that I have been at
Indicating the singer's presence outside the subject's window, throwing rocks aimlessly.
Your window throwing rocks, aimlessly
Empty line for artistic pause.
‘Twas a trickle among the crevices
Introducing a metaphorical trickle representing the disclosure of the subject's motives.
Of all your motives confessing your secrets
Describing the subject's openness in confessing secrets.
Telling me how you need it so
Highlighting the subject's expressed need for something.
Racing hearts and minds in a
Depicting a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts in the subject's mind.
Merry go round of emotion
Describing an emotional and mental carousel in the subject's life.
Activating all your senses
Activating all of the subject's senses, possibly in response to the emotional carousel.
Hold on tight, I'm on a mission
Emphasizing the singer's determination and purpose in the situation.
And maybe it'll take a little
Reiterating the hope for the subject to realize the impact of her mistakes over time.
While for you to see
Reemphasizing the need for the subject to recognize the consequences of her actions.
That all of your mistakes your mistakes
Restating the emotional toll caused by the subject's mistakes.
Your mistakes can't you see
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional distress caused by the subject's mistakes.
That you're hurting me
Expressing the pain inflicted by the subject's actions.
And maybe it'll take a little
Reiterating the hope that the subject will realize the consequences of her actions over time.
While for you to see that I have been at
Indicating the singer's continued presence outside the subject's window, throwing rocks aimlessly.
Your window throwing rocks, aimlessly
Empty line for artistic pause.
And maybe it'll take a little
Reiterating the hope for the subject to realize the impact of her mistakes over time.
While for you to see
Reemphasizing the need for the subject to recognize the consequences of her actions.

Can't you see that you're hurting me
