Set In Stone
Regrets Carved in Stone: A Melody of Lost Words
Lyrics
I know I should be happy
The speaker acknowledges they should be happy.
But all I've got are my regrets
The speaker expresses having only regrets despite the expectation of happiness.
Wishing just for a moment
Expressing a desire for a moment to put regrets aside.
That we can put them on the shelf
The speaker wishes for the ability to temporarily set aside regrets.
We were sitting alone
Recalling a moment of solitude.
Trying to remember how this song goes
Attempting to remember the lyrics or melody of a song.
I could hear every note
The speaker recalls hearing every note of the song.
But every time it came out all wrong
Despite hearing the song, the speaker struggled to perform it correctly.
Should have said what you seen
Reflecting on missed opportunities to communicate.
That I was rambling on
Regretting excessive or irrelevant talking.
'Cause afterwards you told me
Reference to a conversation where advice was given.
When it was set in stone
Referring to a decisive moment or decision.
That there's no, point in changing
Acceptance that certain things are unchangeable.
Either way we must run
Regardless of the situation, there's a need to move forward.
'Cause I ran my mouth too much
Admitting to talking too much, causing problems.
And now we're in a rut
Consequence of excessive talking - being stuck in a difficult situation.
And the cord is about to be be be be cut
Symbolic reference to a relationship or connection about to end.
I know I should be happy
Reiteration of the struggle to find happiness.
But the devil's on my tail
Mention of a challenging influence or temptation (the devil).
Said she wants to make a deal with me
Someone expressing a desire to negotiate or make a deal.
I know the terms ain't fair
Acknowledging the unfair terms of the deal.
Won't be long 'til, I'm in reach
Anticipation of an impending event or consequence.
I built a wall but she crept right in
Reference to failed attempts to protect oneself.
I tried to hide in the crowd
Trying to blend in with others to avoid attention.
But she came and she pointed me right out
Despite efforts to hide, someone or something singled out the speaker.
