Arms of Stone
Breaking Free: Escaping the Embrace of Arms of Stone
Lyrics
So you say you're never gonna call me again
Expressing disappointment about not receiving a call again.
And you're staying home
Acknowledging the person staying at home.
You say you're looking for something better in your life
Indicating a desire for something better in life than the current relationship.
Than this one man
Acknowledging a sense of inadequacy compared to another man.
Well I got something for you girl
Claiming to have something significant to offer.
And it's coming through now
Assuring that what is promised is imminent.
I swear I'm gonna shake you off somehow this time
Committing to breaking free from the relationship this time.
I don't wanna feel your Arms of Stone
Expressing a desire to avoid the cold and unfeeling touch of the partner ("Arms of Stone").
Though you're the greatest love I've ever known
Acknowledging the significance of the love but emphasizing the negative aspect.
I don't wanna feel your Arms of Stone around me again
Reiterating the aversion to the partner's touch.
And when we were on the beach last month
Recalling a past moment on the beach.
Just kicking sand
Describing a casual activity of kicking sand during the mentioned time.
You said I'd never ever know you
Recalling a statement about not being fully understood.
And that I'd never understand
Implying a lack of comprehension or connection.
And I knew you'd take your bags that night and run away
Anticipating a separation and departure that happened that night.
But it's all water under the bridge now
Considering past events as now irrelevant or resolved.
I don't wanna feel your Arms of Stone.
Reiterating the aversion to the partner's touch.
Though you're the greatest love I've ever known
Emphasizing the significant love but expressing a negative sentiment.
I don't wanna feel your Arms of Stone around me again
Reiterating the aversion to the partner's touch.
I don't wanna feel your Arms of Stone
Repeating the desire to avoid the partner's touch.
Around me again, oh no.
Reiterating the aversion to the partner's touch.
All the way back for us was too long baby
Expressing that going back in time was challenging for the speaker and the partner.
For you and me the hurting was too strong
Highlighting the intensity of the emotional pain for both individuals.
So long Darling
Bidding farewell to someone named Jane.
Goodbye to Jane
Finalizing the goodbye to Jane.
