Breaking of Stone
Breaking Chains: A Journey to Find Home and Sanity
Lyrics
I set out to find a new home
I embarked on a journey to discover a new place to call home
Set aflame the poems I wrote
I destroyed the poems I created, possibly symbolizing a desire to leave the past behind
Got up, grabbed my coat and then I ran away
I quickly got up, put on my coat, and fled
The wilderness is far less daunting
The natural world seems less intimidating when described by others in literature
When you read the authors flaunting
Reading works of other authors makes facing challenges seem easier
Still I know that I can somehow
Despite challenges, I believe I can find a solution
Find a way
Expressing a determination to find a way despite difficulties
Wish I had stayed
Expressing regret for not staying
I'm done with structured dreams, in my sleep
I am abandoning predetermined aspirations in my dreams
The four walls in my head must come down
The mental barriers in my mind need to be dismantled
Got into me, want so badly, a different home
Feeling a strong desire for a different home
A breaking of stone
Describing a pivotal moment or change represented by the breaking of stone
I'm living out of cardboard nothings
Living with minimal possessions, perhaps indicating a challenging lifestyle
I'm learning the best use for money
Learning the true value and purpose of money
Burning down, my confidence is warn away
Experiencing a decline in self-assurance
I'm robbing stores to get arrested, just to have roof over my head
Resorting to unconventional means, like theft, for basic necessities
None of this is what I wanted
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation
It's too late
Conveying a sense of inevitability or irrevocability
I wish i could save
Expressing a desire to save something valuable, possibly time or opportunities
I wish i could save
Repetition of the desire to save something, emphasizing its importance
My sanity
Expressing a wish to preserve mental well-being
I'm done with structured dreams, in my sleep
Reiteration of abandoning predetermined dreams in sleep
The four walls in my head must come down
Reiterating the need to break down mental barriers
Got into me, want so badly, a different home
Expressing a strong desire for a different home, echoing line 11
A breaking of stone
Repeating the symbolic breaking of stone, underscoring its significance
Wish I could save
Expressing a desire to preserve sanity, echoing lines 19 and 20
My sanity
Conveying the inability to save one's sanity despite the wish
But I can't
Final acknowledgment of the inability to save sanity
