Stone Man is the fourth track on Syd Matters' debut LP A Whisper and a Sigh.
The song opens with an upbeat electric organ line and a poppy drum machine beat, before being developed further with more synths and electric guitar.
[Verse 1]
Green is arguing with yellow
In a submarine beneath the flow
Far from the electric lives
Fighting with magnetic knives
And I wonder if I could have known
I wonder if they drown
Swilling down in the ocean
Feeding in the water
[Chorus]
I've heard about a fable once when I was young
About a man being able to turn into stone
But I've never been a believer
And I never will
[Bridge]
Give up your dreams
Don't let them grow
Throw away your wishes
And all you'll never know
Cut them into pieces
Burn them in a row
[Chorus]
I've heard about a fable once when I was young
About a man being able to turn into stone
But I've never been a believer
And I never will
[Outro]
Like a rock now
Like a stone man
Nothing's gonna break me
Nothing's gonna change then
Like a rock now
Like a stone man
Nothing's gonna break me
Nothing's gonna change then
