This song, to me, seems to be telling the listener to follow their heart and not over think or spend too much time in their head. "Choosing stones big enough to drag me down" is like trying to think of all the ways that something could go wrong. "Where I am, people's voices make hollow sounds" - When you spend too much time in your head, people's words can have a negative effect on you no matter what they say. "Open up your eyes, don't let your mind tell the story here" - Take it in, but don't over think it.
