Precious Stones

"Precious Stones" is a cheeky, infectious cut about knowing your worth, digging through trauma, and shining despite the dirt that life (or a bad relationship) tries to bury you under. Sonically, it draws inspiration from British Indie Rock with crunchy guitars, laid-back bass, and a vocal delivery that dances between charm and bite, while demonstrating a lyrical edge sharp enough to cut through the noise. I wanted this one to feel like an anthem for anyone who’s been undervalued or underestimated. The song’s about realizing you’re rare, you’re valuable, and you don’t need anyone around you that thinks otherwise. In the chorus, lyrics like “Precious stones get thrown ‘cause they’re scared to be alone,” take on the messy dynamics of insecurity and toxic attachment. Fans of The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, and The Killers will resonate with Arcane’s guitar work, witty lyricism, and vocal delivery. LYRICS Ruby red Get it through your head You’re a diamond in the rough You need someone else instead Pretty blue Are the eyes on you Yet you can’t seem to see All the lies in front of you He says ‘you're mine’ Like he dug you from the dirt He digs his grave Every time you get hurt He thinks he owns you He doesn’t have a clue That his bill's on the way And it’s way overdue He thinks you're a fool But baby you’re gold Precious stones get thrown Cause they’re scared to be alone Sad that you don’t even know What your worth is, you’re perfect Green eyes Envious as hell Thinking he’s the one But he’s got you in a spell Red hair Or your temper that flared Telling you to calm down After causing the warfare You’re rare and you're rich But you’re busy being taxed By some cheap, old, plastic Trying to act brass He’s bitter and toxic Talking down to you He's filled you with poison But now you're immune He thinks you're a fool But baby you’re gold Precious stones get thrown Cause they’re scared to be alone Sad that you don’t even know What your worth is, you’re perfect Now With both feet out the ground You can finally Be the one You want to be Free Precious stones get thrown Cause they’re scared to be alone Sad that you don’t even know What your worth is, you’re perfect
