stepping stones - arcanegel lyrics

Loading...

i felt my granddad’s death like a lesson in love and loss
numb and shocked, for everything i’d sundered from

a smoldered home crumbled to ash
the hum of thunder cats, drowned out a hundred spats

i wore middle school like a baggy uniform
unflattering unsuitable, casually unusual

in upper school debunked the rules
trying to discover fool but acting like an utter fool

reached for higher learning with my peers at my back
with fears that attached to jeers that attack

i bloomed into my late teens, sprouting possibilities
complicated feelings freed chopping out the kid in me

i logged onto a digital age
a signal for change in the biggest of ways

i eulogize my past never far from its funeral
fascinated from beyond, the view is truly beautiful

[chorus]
these were my stepping stones, a reflection froze
these were my stepping stones, and you never know
these were my stepping stones, a reflection froze
these were my stepping stones, and you never know
first love was metamorphosis, empowered by desire
deflowered by that fire just another clown for hire

i wore ’03 like an anchor and a pendant
sang for her attention with anger and resentment

i saw my uni days through a truant haze
of booze and stains on memories i blew away

20 something smelt like the bottom of the bottle mixed
with simulated confidence, expelled by the vomit spit

i travelled with a liberty, woven in my essence
never severed home, made it glow luminescent

the story arc of ’09, a romantic comedy
my co*star offered me, happiness monogamy

symbolized commitment, wrapped her in a ring
ecstatic for the win, happy in the spin

i eulogize my past, never far from its funeral
fascinated from beyond, the view is truly beautiful

[chorus]
these were my stepping stones, a reflection froze
these were my stepping stones, and you never know
these were my stepping stones, a reflection froze
these were my stepping stones, and you never know
i’ve treated my career like a means to an end
it’s hard to be successful with these demons in your head

felt the weight of my promotions, a suffocating crush
juddered by the thrust, comfort is a must

i wore thirty like a crown of fabricated regal
seated on a throne of that inflated ego

mental diagnosis offered deeper understanding
of the cards that i’d been handed that feature in my sadness

fatherhood toppled my priorities
no deity but believe me that was godspeed

covid19 felt like the end of times
attitude… never mind, plenty of reflection time

now as 40 looms i’ve learned to let it go
although lessons never slow, i’m better for their blows

i eulogize my past, never far from its funeral
fascinated from beyond, the view is truly beautiful

[chorus]
these were my stepping stones, a reflection froze
these were my stepping stones, and you never know
these were my stepping stones, a reflection froze
these were my stepping stones, and you never know
