Lighter Than a Stone
Unburdened by Anchors: Exploring Freedom in 'Lighter Than a Stone'
Lyrics
I don't feel it anymore, the anchor holding me in place
I no longer feel the weight or burden, represented by an anchor, that was keeping me in a fixed position.
I've come un-tethered to the shore to anyone I can relate
I have become detached from the familiar (shore) and find it hard to connect with anyone.
Oh, I am lighter than a stone
Expressing a sense of freedom and weightlessness, feeling unburdened like a lightweight stone.
And I go wherever the wind blows
I am adaptable and go wherever life's circumstances take me, like a stone carried by the wind.
And I am always on my own
I am consistently alone, navigating my own path without relying on others.
So I'll be on my way before too long
Anticipating a departure from the current situation or place in the near future.
I don't hear them anymore, the voices that congratulate
I am no longer influenced or affected by the praises or approval of others.
I'm taking less and giving more to everyone to love and hate
I am becoming more selfless, giving more to both those I love and those I dislike.
Oh, I've been laying out my soul
Revealing and sharing my innermost self, possibly through artistic expression or vulnerability.
And I've been going wherever the winds blown
Continuing to adapt and follow the unpredictable path of life.
And I fear I'm on my own
Expressing a fear of being truly alone or isolated in this journey.
So I'll be on my way before too long
Foreseeing another departure or change in the near future.
Oh I have found, you can lose who you are if no one's around
Realization that one can lose their true self when there is no one around to witness or validate it.
I've come to know it's the ones you love that bring you home
Understanding that it is the people you love that provide a sense of belonging and identity.
Oh, I am lighter than a stone
Reiterating the feeling of being unburdened and free like a lightweight stone.
And I don't know where the wind may blow
Uncertainty about the future, acknowledging the unpredictability of life's course.
But I am out here on my own
Acknowledging the current state of being alone and navigating one's own path.
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Expressing a sense of emotion, possibly through singing, as an outlet for the experiences described.
