lirik lagu chris cave - stepping stones
[intro poem:]
i realize i’ve been bruised by issues
first step is awareness
first steps on this earth i learned that
life ain’t about fairness
realize i’ve grown used to tissues
crying’ while i pen this
recognizing i’m my own role model and apprentice
the cycle’s endless
[verse 1:]
my mind needs some clearance
my mind needs some clearance
lately my mind’s been struggling to find perseverance
i’m trying to connect the dots
no signs of coherence
need guidance in my thoughts
though it don’t shine through my appearance
need some deeper healings
‘cause i’ve been concealing all these feelings
all these elephants in my home have grown
i guess i need some bigger ceilings
but i’m reluctant for a change
abducting international
constructing my own ways
i’ve tried conducting the most rational
destructing i behave
i’ve tried to reach the supranatural
instructions that i crave
instead i’m stuck inside my cave
losing track of time, is it night or is it day?
hear me when i say
within the lines is when i pray
hoping i’m going to see better days
– with stepping stones
[chorus:]
stepping stones
through the river i roam
stepping stones
i’m a long way from home
stepping stones
but the steps are unknown
so i feel alone
i’m a long way from home
stepping stones
through the river i roam
stepping stones
i’m a long way from home
stepping stones
but the steps are unknown
that’s why i feel alone
i’m a long way from home
[verse 2:]
what if a dream
is just an alternate reality?
reminding us ’bout life and all its endless possibilities
reminding us bout striving, maximizing our utilities
now that i check life’s balance, ain’t just -ssets liabilities
i question my ability to guide me to serenity
or serendipity, in the flow until infinity
‘cause i didn’t rehe-rs- all this rappin’
then i asked myself the question:
what’s the worst that can happen?
now don’t you get me wrong, i don’t present me as your coach
but searching for plain happiness, that’s just the wrong approach
without transcendence and belonging, life (and death) could be demeaning
tell your stories find your purpose
only that will give you meaning
[interlude:]
but if i told you i was going through some real real sh-t
on some, rainy days with bitter pills and sh-t
need the write it down you know it’s how i heal, and sh-t
now i write it down i notice i don’t feel sh-t
[verse 3:]
if only we could change some bad decisions in the past
treating ourselves instead of ignorance with care
all the places we would go
and all the people we’d have met
familiar faces that we’d know
now turned to secrets, we forget
we’d still have our ups and downs
‘cause life inherently is death
now i don’t mean to sound sad
but in the midst of ups and downs
there’s one thing that makes me mad
i wish the people not around
were not just thoughts inside my head
i miss my dad
[outro:]
but with stepping stones
you’re never alone
