MADE OF STONE
Echoes of Love and Loss: Unveiling the Heart in 'Made of Stone'
Lyrics
You’ve become so quite
You've become very quiet
Is there anybody home
Is there anybody at home? (emotionally distant)
And I’ve become a riot
The speaker has become a riot (emotionally turbulent)
I don’t wanna to die alone
Expressing fear of dying alone
And you words so silent
Your words are silent, suggesting emotional withdrawal
Has your heart turned to stone
Wondering if the person's heart has become cold and unfeeling
And I’ve become so violent
The speaker has become violent, indicating inner turmoil
This place is not a home
The current environment is not a home, lacking warmth and comfort
Not a home
Reinforcing that the place is not a home
Turned to stone
Reiteration of the idea that emotions have turned cold and unresponsive
With your fake smiling
Commenting on fake happiness
Turn your frown upside down
Encouraging the person to put on a happy face despite true feelings
And the scars you’re hiding
Referring to concealed emotional pain (scars)
With your sleeves always rolled down
Suggesting that the person hides their true emotions by keeping sleeves down
And I know you love me
Assurance of love from the speaker
And I would never let you down
Promise not to disappoint or betray
So please tell me that you’d never kill yourself
Pleading for the person not to contemplate suicide
I know you love me baby
Reaffirmation of the belief that the person loves the speaker
Why don’t you stay with me baby
Expressing a desire for the person to stay
I know you love me baby
Repetition of the belief in the person's love
You turned to stone on me
Noting a change in the person, possibly becoming emotionally distant or unresponsive
Not a home
Reiteration that the current situation is not a home
Turned to stone
Restating the idea that emotions have turned cold and unresponsive
Not a home
Reaffirming that the place lacks the qualities of a home
You turned to stone
Observing that the person has become emotionally distant
I know you love me baby
Repetition of the desire for the person to stay
Why don’t you stay with me maybe
Expressing hope for the person to stay
I know you love me baby
Repeating the belief in the person's love
You turned to stone on me
Noting the emotional distance or change in the person
I need you
Expressing a need for the person
I need you
Reiterating the need for the person
I love you
Expressing love for the person
I love you
Reiterating love for the person
Come home to me soon
Desire for the person to come home soon
I need you
Reiterating the need for the person
I need you
