Stone Lyrics

I know you think I’m wrong but I’m not your tour guide
Have a guess, I don’t let you look inside
Cold dry stone

What makes you want to carve your initials in me?
Rained and weathered, erasing, hard to read
Find me distant, outwardly rough, obscene
Cold dry stone

Cold and dry a stone
Cold and dry a stone

I’m not a cornerstone in a palace for you
Time will bring your very own hard truth
Not to worry, ice covered rocks still move
Cold dry stone
Cold dry stone

About people who are famous such as rock stars, don't wanna be used by others, they are human beings like anyone else. They exist in this world and are not just withered stones with no emotions, they are like anyone else. Don't use them, don't carve your initials into them to ride their coat tails and try to get own self famous in the process.

in my opinion this song is about a harmfull relationship. She descibes him as Rained and weathered, erasing, hard to read,she finds him distant, outwardly rough, obscene.(usually artists are like this)

he is sicken of what she says about him: Have a guess, I don’t let you look inside.He is purposely distant to her.

he wants her to not count on him so much -I’m not a cornerstone in a palace for you- -I know you think I’m wrong but I’m not your tour guide

Its like she descibes him as Cold and dry a stone Cold dry stone in feelings(do you get me?)

and then he announce this! ice covered rocks still MOVE meaning that he can move on and leave her

Song Meaning
Cover art for Stone lyrics by Alice in Chains

I could feel the stone(s) weight on my back, which must be what was planned and could be referring to the weight on the members' backs since Layne's death, maybe even since they were formed. Words good and bad, rumors, guesses all through 25 years, a quarter century.... They're tired and moody, but could still sound heavy and mysterious, as if saying " we're not dead yet ".

Lyrics; a mild rebuke, or an implied criticism towards everybody, which I got my share. Just very heavy words if you sense ! "Time will bring you your very hard own truth, Not to worry, ice covered rocks still move. " This is the survival part, refreshing hopes, mending broken things......

As the final note, Stone is a stoner.

Take a look at the young woman. Any guesses? Does appear to be using a "basket" to collect things. Damn tired i'd bet. What gets me is strenth of the cart.

My Interpretation

when manson was sold out everyone who is anyoneone needed a reason to conspire against and with against him for the unerlying peinciples of a moderated rock scen in 92-200&hell.. alonfgg with tnis came the disclusion of Nd breank up the whites stripes...and three or four newlyfound celebrities intorroduction into the whore fill worlsd...along with all of my other music..i was looking escape from the women who kidnapped me, and excuse for their men...while under all new celebrities control depression turn my blue lovely stone into a cold black one....but thzt doesny mean yelas balls zre wet or cold for either mega..any of their jewish looking creations..and as so no redeem effects..except for hopefully more holy sales..without time travel talk and lost familiez.. -yelawolf
