The Stone

This song, it's absolutly amazing. The instrumentals enhance the lyrics, and makes what he is trying to say stand out more then he intended. He did something that he felt the need to do. Wether or not it had benifits for everyone else. He needed it to be done for himself. Now, people are like "dude, what did you do! you're nuts!" He can only turn to one person, wether it be a g/f, friend or God. "I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want" Here, he is saying please, I do need someone for me - come with me, if you did this - I'd do the same for you. "If not I'll go I will go alone" He needs to get out of here, wether it be alone or with someone else. He needs comfort. "I need so To stay in your arms see you smile hold you close" Ok, he needs someone... I believe the "if not i'll go alone" is a bit of DMB sarcasm. Why would someone go alone anyways!? He did something wrong, and wants someone there to run away with. Needs someone to love and hold. Do the same thing for him too.

I've this creeping Suspicion that things *here* are not as they seem

dmb is a band that can survive through this gay pop world and nu-metal barrage we have today with a sax and a violin...that is just talent right there in and of its self

utsoccer22 i really think its dave cause he always adds stuff like that in this accoustic songs...like everyday and some more i just cant anme tehm haha but yes its him

I am not religious in the same way that Dave is not, however I could not help but see the parrallels to the betrayal of Jesus by Judas. That being said it made sense when I read the comments about dave's sister and said tragedy. This song is about betrayal from the perspective of the betrayer.

I think this song is about someone doing something they felt needed to be done and regardless of the consequences they may suffer either from their significant other, friends or god they still felt they had to act on what was in their heart. Now they are dealing with the guilt, shame & perhaps backlash of repercussions of their actions. Although what they did may have been for the best, so much was lost in the wake of it that was almost not worth it in the end and they're hoping & pleading for some solace now.

I think this song is about a heart wrenching break up. Anyone who has been through an awful breakup has felt a heavy weight or "stone" on their chest. Let me break it down... I've this creeping Suspicion that things are not as they seem Reassure me Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep *He has a premonition that he's about to be dumped...hence the suspicion that things aren't what they seem. *He wants reassurance that that's not what's really going on (denial) Oh, I've been praying For some way to show them I'm not what they see Yes I have done wrong But what I did I thought needed be done I swear *He possibly did something really embarrassing. Possibly got jealous and made and ass of himself. Now friends and family think he's a creepy weirdo. Unholy day If I leave now I might get away This weighs on me As heavy as stone and as blue as I go *Anyone who has been through a difficult break up feels like getting away from it. I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want If not I'll go I will go alone *He's wondering if she'll be by his side while he goes through this awful heartache. To be there when he calls...or wants to get coffee etc. The gist of this line is that if that's not what she wants then he will just have to go alone and heal. I'm a long way From that fool's mistake and now forever pay No, run, I will run and I'll be okay I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want But if not I'll go I will go alone *Again, he's hoping she'll be there for him and not cut off all contact, but if that's what she wants then he'll just have to accept it. I need so To stay in your arms see you smile hold you close And it weighs on me As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold *Again, anyone who has been through a break up immediately misses the closeness of the relationship. If he could just stay in her arms and hold her close everything would be fine. But it's not. It's a ginormous effing stone on his chest in the shape of his ex-girlfriend. I was just wondering if you'd come along Tell me you will *Possibly begging and pleading at this point for her to stay in his life. Usually a last resort of the desperate and brokenhearted. Well there you have it folks. This song is the epitome of heartbreak. Read more at songmeanings.net/songs/view/1006/

this song saved my marriage! a truly awesome song that tells your lover(my wife) exactly what you're feeling. i'm happy to say that she came along w/ me =)

Ok at the very begining of this song you can hear the base of someones voice. DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING? Iv listened to it a hundred times but I cant make out one word of it.

Intense, yet melodic. Love the opening music.
