Brand New - Millstone
Artist: Brand New
Song: Millstone [Track #2]
Album: The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me [2006]
I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
I used to sleep without a single stir
‘Cause I was about my father’s work
Well, take me out tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
I’m my own stone around my neck
Be my breath
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t give
I used to pray like god was listenin’
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don’t talk, and we don’t go out
I used to know the name of every person I’d kissed
Now I’ve made this bed, and I can’t fall asleep in it
Well, take me out tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
I’m my own stone around my neck
Be my breath
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t give
Throw me that lifeline
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
I’m my own stone around my neck
Be my breath
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t give
Never hit the brakes
There was no time to see
He just ran out in the street
Does anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
He sure as paid for that mistake
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
So take me out tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
I’m my own stone around my neck
Be my breath
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t give
Well, save my life tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
I’m my own stone around my neck
Be my breath
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t give

Actually I guess no one knew… There were demos “leaked” of some songs that made it to the cd… some didn’t… and MOST of the songs that were “leaked” were changed either lyrically or musically and this song on the demo said… “i’m my own stone around my neck” However this is not the demo so yes it says a milestone around my neck… just thought I’d share the other lyric.

thanks for the “meaning”, but make sure you know the title of the song you’re pretending to know first.
It is Milestone, …
It is Milestone, its a turn of phrase taken from Millstone, the song points out how he has changed a Milestone is a turning point, so it represents how much he has changed and how it has become his own burden, hence the millstone refrence
sorry dude, it …
sorry dude, it really is millstone, and p.s.s it really says millstone on the album
its milestone… …
its milestone…theres two ways you can look at it. 1) the person he’s asking to save him is a milestone or bright point in his life and that person can save him 2) the milestone is meaning the amount of fame he has reached and how successful his career is and that success has made him into something he never was before
ps. it kinda says milestone on the album which would make more sense
I am pretty sure …
I am pretty sure it’s “I’m my own stone aroud my neck”, makes more sense than milestone lol. He’s his own burden.
