Like A Stone

Audioslave
Like A Stone


on a cobweb afternoon
in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess
i was lost in the pages
of a book full of death
reading how we'll die alone
and if we're good we'll lay to rest
anywhere we want to go

(chorus)
in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone i'll wait for you there
alone

on my deathbed i will pray
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan to anyone
who will take me to heaven
to a place i call
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the wine was bled
and there you led me on

in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone i'll wait for you there
alone

and on i read
until the day was gone
and i sat in regret
of all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams until my death

i will wander on

Another boring day has accompanied me today. And as always, I can only use my ipod as my medicine. I turned on my ipod, then I start to listen to audioslave. I’m not much a fan of audioslave, but their songs are pretty god and easy to listen. The one that I’ve listened just now is called “like a stone”. If you just read the title of the song, you will wonder “what’s like a stone?” or maybe “does the singer like a stone as his dinner?”. Well, just keep on listening and you will find the answer. I’m still listening to their song and then finally I arrived on the chorus where the singer said “i'll wait for you there like a stone i'll wait for you there alone”. So, we got the answer. From here we can conclude that the writer is waiting for his (maybe) girlfriend so long and without doing anything like a stone. The writer is using simile in his song to describe his feelings and he create the title ambigue to make the listeners anxious about the song.
