"Stones that I carry around. Every stone's a story, it weighs me down."
"Sharp as a marble, these stones keep my feet on the ground. All this experience weighs me down."
^ These lines are about someone who was wounded in the past. They were hurt so badly that the weight they carry keeps them from pursuing their dreams. Its usage in How I Met Your Mother was pretty dead-on. The way Shannon (Barney's first girlfriend) hurt him made him close off his feelings in order to protect himself. He's so afraid to let himself love again that he can't take a chance on Nora, even though she's falling for him too. That episode breaks my heart, because in the scene where he's looking in the restaurant window at Nora and her parents I don't see Barney...I see myself.
"But there is gold hidden by rock and sand. I have to search a little harder now."
^ You will find the gold if you just believe and take a chance.
