Boulder
Unveiling Life's Unstoppable Force: The Boulder in Mat Kearney's Lyrics
Lyrics
Walking softly through coffee and memories
Reflecting on past experiences and memories with a delicate approach.
Know that I'm the sentimental one
Acknowledging oneself as the emotional and nostalgic person in the relationship.
Blocks we're building were falling like children
Metaphorically describing challenges and obstacles as structures collapsing like children.
I know that I don't know what we'll become
Expressing uncertainty about the future and the evolution of the relationship.
Today they shut the door
Referencing closure or an ending to a significant chapter or phase.
To something so much more
Reflecting on the closure as something substantial and valuable.
Then any of us could hold
Highlighting the significance of what was closed and its emotional weight.
Wrecking ball can blow from tour hearts
Using a wrecking ball metaphor to describe emotional damage that can originate from the heart.
Watched you get older
Observing the aging process in someone close.
But you can't stop the boulder when it starts
Conveying the idea that once a powerful force (boulder) starts, it's challenging to halt its impact.
Moved to Nashville to find a record deal
Relocating to pursue a music career, discovering intangible qualities that can't be contractual.
Found something you can't sign away
Emphasizing the discovery of something valuable that transcends commercial agreements.
And every change makes something to celebrate
Finding positivity in change and celebrating the uniqueness of each transformation.
Something that'll never be the same
Stressing that some experiences are irreplaceable and resist standardization.
Today they shut the door
Repeating the theme of closure, underscoring its profundity.
To something so much more
Reiterating the closure's significance, suggesting it surpasses individual capacities.
Then any of us could hold
Emphasizing the weight of what has been closed and its impact.
Wrecking ball can blow from our hearts
Continuing the wrecking ball metaphor, depicting emotional devastation from within.
Watched you get older
Witnessing the aging process in a close relationship.
But you can't stop the boulder when it starts
Reiterating the unstoppable nature of a powerful force once set in motion.
Made a mark but a shot in the dark won't
Acknowledging that not every attempt or endeavor will achieve all desired outcomes.
Hit everything that you want
Highlighting the limitations of aiming for perfection or achieving all one desires.
And every ending they say there's beginning
Recognizing the cyclical nature of life, with every ending paving the way for new beginnings.
I know that I'm the lucky one
Expressing gratitude and a sense of fortune in the face of life's uncertainties.
Today they shut the door
Repeating the theme of closure and its emotional weight.
To something so much more
Reiterating the substantial nature of what has been closed, surpassing individual capacity.
Then any of us could hold
Underscoring the emotional significance of closed chapters or experiences.
Wrecking ball can blow from our hearts
Continuing the wrecking ball metaphor, depicting emotional damage originating from within.
Watched you get older
Observing the aging process in a close relationship.
But you can't stop the boulder when it starts
Reiterating the unstoppable nature of a powerful force once set in motion.
Love makes you bolder
Introducing the concept that love can embolden individuals.
But you can't stop the boulder when it starts
Reiterating the unstoppable nature of a powerful force, specifically in the context of love.
Watched you get older
Observing the aging process in a close relationship.
But you can't stop the boulder when it starts
Emphasizing the difficulty of halting the impact of a powerful force, particularly in the context of love.
