Studying Stones Lyrics

Cover art for Studying Stones lyrics by Ani DiFranco

on a gut level i realy feel this song is directed at someone, like mickzzzz says. She has to numb herself from feeling towards what person and this is her way of coping.

This song was written a good time after her breakup with her husband. She had moved on, so perhaps her feelings about that are being submerged into the general soup of old emotions that just hang around without being resolved one way or the other. Things that tend to bring you down when your mind isn't otherwise occupied.

Life goes on and you get into the everyday business of life, you get over things but sometimes they creep up on you and remind you that they didn't go away, you just filed them under BS.
