“Stoned” explores themes of loneliness and the struggles of growing up and finding your place in the world. While the song’s title typically refers to being under the influence of substances, especially cannabis, it may also be a metaphor for feeling numb and detached from reality.
The track is one...
[Verse 1]
I wasn't lookin' for a hideaway
I need the heat of a thousand bodies
Crowds will devour, I don't need breathing space
Consumed by hopelessness and all my worries
[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, colours erase, nothin' will fill up the space
I'm drownin' under the waves and so out of place
I'm feelin' away, maybe this life was a waste
Should I just throw it away?
[Chorus]
All my friends have settled and grown
And then there's me, here, dancin' alone
Fueled by heartbreak mixed with the chemicals
They are sleeping and I am stoned
All my friends have settled and grown
And then there's me, here, dancin' alone
Am I breathing into my detriment?
I'll keep bleedin' and I'll be stoned
[Verse 2]
I don't want to have to cry again
Well, say to them "Goodbye" and "I'm so sorry"
This pain crescendo's riding till the end
Keep tellin' myself that it's them and not me
[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, colours erase, nothin' will fill up the space
Drownin' under the waves and so out of place
I'm feelin' away, maybe this life was a waste
Should I just throw it away?
[Chorus]
All my friends have settled and grown
And then there's me, here, dancin' alone
Fueled by heartbreak mixed with the chemicals
They are sleeping and I am stoned
All my friends have settled and grown
And then there's me, here, dancin' alone
Am I breathing into my detriment?
I'll keep bleedin' and I'll be stoned
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
All my friends have settled and grown
And then there's me, here, dancin' alone
Fueled by heartbreak mixed with the chemicals
They are sleeping and I am stoned
All my friends have settled and grown
And then there's me, here, dancin' alone
Am I breathing into my detriment?
I'll keep bleedin' and I'll be stoned
