Like a Stone (Remix)
The song unfolds with fingerpicked acoustic guitar intertwined with glitchy synth textures, slowly introducing off-kilter percussion and atmospheric pads. Verses feature hushed, intimate vocals over minimal indie pop-folk arrangements; choruses explode with experimental rock energy—jagged guitars, bold drums, and sweeping electronic layers. Unexpected instrument drops and tempo shifts heighten the avant-garde vibe. Vocal delivery moves fluidly from soft whispers to gritty, dynamic power, layered at peak moments for haunting impact. The arrangement ebbs and flows, full of quirky sonic surprises, balancing delicate innocence and raw, emotional depth within a genre-defying soundscape.

Lyrics
in all honesty, between the 5th and 9th remix iteration the original lyrics become quite boring... therefore, lets spice things up with a mashup
Intro
Why would I carry you
(on my shoulders, on my shoulders...)
If you never walked beside me?
Verse 1
Oh, my love
My friend, you know
It’s been a while
Since I let you go
But the thought makes me smile—
Like glass in my mouth,
And I'm chewing it slow
Bridge Intercut
But I gave you all...
(You gave me holes)
You gave me nothing
(So I built a home)
Chorus 1
I'm so tired of wanting
(You pulled the thread, now I unravel)
Wanting more than this
(Just a breath, just a kiss)
I know it but what am I to do
(When I’m only skin around you)
I need some space to breathe
(But the room is filled with you)
So give me some room
(Even ghosts need space too)
Verse 2
Oh, my love
You have a heart of stone
Since I came home
I’ve never felt so alone
But the thought makes me smile—
(A fracture, a trick, a twitch)
Like I'm laughing down a well
Fragment
It’s not your fault
(It’s just your voice inside me)
It’s not your fault
(But I can't get it out)
Verse 3
Oh, my love
(You’re coming with me)
I know you’ll leave
(But please don’t leave clean)
Can you just stay till Monday?
(The clock doesn’t care)
The thought makes me smile
(But the mirror won’t look back)
Chorus 2
I'm so tired of wanting
(Wanting is a cage)
Wanting more than this
(This is less than pain)
I know you’ll leave me one day
(You already did)
Can you just stay till Monday?
(Stay dead, stay sweet)
The thought makes me smile
(A razor smile)
Chorus 3
I'm so tired of wanting
(Tired, tired... rewind)
Wanting more than this
(Static kisses)
I know you’ll leave me one day
(And I’ll still beg)
Can you just stay till Monday
(‘Til I break right?)
The thought makes me smile
(Sm-sm-smile)
Outro
So good
Smile...
(Smile through the hurt)
Smile...
(Smile with no teeth)
Smile...
(Smile till you split)
Smile...
(…Smile…)
