Blood from a Stone
Resurrecting Emotions: Unveiling the Depths in Circa Survive's 'Blood from a Stone'
Lyrics
Every moment I stand there and wait I recall
Reflecting on moments of waiting and remembering
How you told me you don't care
Recalling a statement expressing indifference
It was there that you ruptured the seal in the wall
Referring to a breach in a metaphorical wall of emotional separation
That time cannot repair
Highlighting an irreparable damage caused by time
Letting it be what it is
Accepting the situation as it is
It's impossible to know what you need
Expressing difficulty in understanding the other person's needs
When you seem so emotionless
Observing the other person's emotional detachment
What'll bring you back to life?
Pondering on what can revive the other person
Machine beware turn it back again
A caution to a machine, suggesting reversal of actions
Just wanted to know every word that was said
Desire to understand every spoken word
So many were unclear
Noting confusion or ambiguity in many statements
And I didn't notice if anything changed
Unaware of changes until the person departed
Until you left me here
Realization of being left alone
Setting it free with the wind
Allowing something to be liberated and carried away
Seems impossible that we'd let itbe what itisSo emotionless
Reiterating the difficulty of accepting the emotionless situation
What'll bring you back to life? Machine beware turn it back again
Repeating the question about reviving the person with a caution to a machine
What'll bring you back to life? Machine beware turn it back again
Reiteration of the question and caution
Your stories never end Our time is now suspended I never feared man
Acknowledging endless stories and the suspension of time
So why won't you let mein this time? What'll bring you back to life?
Questioning why the person won't let the speaker in this time
What'll bring you back? I want to bring you back Your stories never end
Repeating the question about bringing the person back
Our time is now suspended I never feared man So why won't you let mein this time?
Reiterating the suspension of time and the desire to be let in
