Heart Of Stone Lyrics
I think the song is about taking in all the troubles of life and trying to live around them.
Wishing it wasn't possible to have your heart broken... I think it's a really cool song and very pretty...
There is a mistake in these lyrics, the last bit in parenthesis should read "With a heart of stone, love's not resurrected" -Which pretty much sums it up. The jist of the song is that it might just be better to be able to easily forget your failed love rather than be "knocked out of the ring by love".
There is so much suffering in the world. We all experience some of that suffering to at least extent, and it even hurts to watch others suffer. Cher is being a little sarcastic in some of these lyrics. She asks you if you "wish your heart was made of stone", but would you really want that? If you had a heart of stone you would not feel anything. If you did not recognize sadness you could never experience love and happiness, and you would not want to make the world a better place for others because you have a cold heart of stone. Suffering is just a part of life, but we also have good experiences, and with the use of our soft hearts we make things right.
Just watched the video to this song. It seems to be a song about despair. How many times do we put our faith and hope and trust in our significant other, we fall in love and think that maybe this time, it really will work out and last forever, or we believe strongly that a political movement we believe in really will change things for the better, and in the end, we just seem to end up with new problems, and nothing really lasts forever. There's definitely some bitterness in this song. Definitely the feeling of I've been had. Great song though, one that isn't easily forgotten!!!
