Stepping Stone
Journey to Inner Peace: Unveiling Life's Stepping Stones
Lyrics
Ain't nothing but a stepping stone -
Acknowledging that life is a progression, a series of steps.
You got years and years to go.
Highlighting the long journey ahead in one's life.
When you stay up for a classic thrill,
Staying awake for a traditional, timeless thrill.
As you look out disappointed on the window sill.
Expressing disappointment while gazing out of the window.
Well, thought that there'd be more -
Reflecting on the expectation of more in life.
She said to me, with tears streaming down her face.
Recounting a conversation where someone expresses disappointment with tears.
Have you found your place?
Asking if the person has discovered their purpose or path.
Have you found that place?
Repeating the question about finding one's place.
Have you found your -
(Empty line)
Ain't nothing but some shoot up faith,
Describing faith as something to inject or imbibe.
You tap two on the crest of your veins.
Using drugs as a metaphor for seeking a higher power.
Now your waving down some mighty hand,
Seeking help or guidance as if waving for assistance.
As you wander through the promise of some promise land.
Wandering through the promise of a better future.
Is there paradise right here: in my coffee cup.
Questioning if paradise is found in mundane things like a cup of coffee.
On the porch in gentle breeze -
Contemplating peace on a porch in a gentle breeze.
Have you found your peace?
Asking if the person has found their peace.
Count the marks on the dollar tree.
Counting the marks or achievements in a materialistic sense.
Catching leaves to fill the space.
Filling the void with insignificant pursuits like catching leaves.
Have you found your place?
Reiterating the question of finding one's place.
Why is my room filled with things I don't need
Raising questions about the accumulation of unnecessary possessions.
Books I don't read anymore.
Expressing neglect for books and possessions that no longer serve a purpose.
When I sit and I soak up the light from my screen
Acknowledging the absorption of light from screens.
With so much to see I've never felt so bored.
Feeling bored despite having a lot to see.
Why is my head filled with thoughts I don't think
Questioning the nature of thoughts that bring one down.
Shit that leaves me on the floor.
Describing the impact of negative thoughts.
But I'm staying inside as I soak up that glow
Staying indoors, absorbing the glow of screens.
With so many highs, I've never felt so low.
Experiencing emotional lows despite external highs.
So tell me what's your secret sauce,
Asking about the unique element that brings warmth or comfort.
A tattoo or a gin on the rocks.
Referencing choices like tattoos or alcohol for solace.
When we've all got our prescriptions to fill
Observing that everyone has their own coping mechanisms.
Tell me honey do you find yours in a pew or a pill?
Questioning whether solace is found in religion or medication.
And you thought that you'd feel warm, in a blanket
Expecting warmth in familiar places, like a blanket inside the mind.
That's wrapped up inside your brain.
Returning to the question of finding one's place.
Have you found your place?
