Song Meaning of “You Threw It at Me Like Stones” by Rome
Verse 1:
You threw it at me like stones,
Breaking through my thickest walls
The pain that I can’t ignore,
A pain that I can’t ignore
This verse is speaking about a deep betrayal. Someone has hurt the narrator badly by throwing hatred and insults at them. These hateful words have broken the person’s emotional walls and have caused deep pain they cannot ignore.
Chorus:
And I was too blind, to see it coming
And I was too naive, to find a way through
The narrator here reflects on their own naivety and blindness to the situation. Despite knowing that things weren’t going so well, they were not perceptive enough to see the betrayal coming or find an escape from it.
Verse 2:
Can’t stand the thought of us together
Just like Humpty Dumpty’s fate
This dream we built was far from real
Shattered when you threw stones at me
The narrator has realized that there is nothing else that they can do, and accepts that what they had together was never real. The betrayal was the end of their dream, and now it is like Humpty Dumpty’s fate with no hope of putting it back together.
Bridge:
My feelings never mattered,
But they way you said it still stung
You threw it at me like stones
I never cried so much
In this bridge, the narrator reflects on how the betrayal hurt them not only because of the act itself, but because of the way it was said. Although the person’s feelings were never considered important by the other person, the harsh words still stung and made them cry more than they ever have before.
