| Gregory Alan Isakov – The Stable Song Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I'm sorry, but I think this song has nothing to do with a woman he loved and such, but it's about his journey of self-realization and going back to the simple self he is happy to be. I think Jarbarhead is much more on track. It is sort of looking back into your childhood and seeing how simple and sweet things were. But then, he began pondering about life and what could be of it, causing him to feel empty, yearning and dissatisfied...."throw stones at the sky but the whole sky fell."....And you sent me back to where I roam...Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know... Now I know. implies he is "put back to his place".....humbled and one with his mind and universe, untainted by the temptations and desires that make people hollow. The very end....turn this diamond back into coal, he yearns to be back to where he started, childlike and free of mind, blissful and uncluttered with what we all adults go thru. Coal being the most simple carbon as oppose to diamond the most expensive form of carbon, he opts for the simple innocence of childhood rather then the complexity of chasing the rat wheel we all are familiar with. | |
