Something From Something Else (With a Stone)
Something From Something Else (With a Stone)
This song centers on a quiet moment by a stream, where Luke considers the weight of taking a life—even a small one—and confronts the unexpected feelings that follow. What begins as a simple act of fishing becomes a deeper reckoning as he notices the trout’s panic, the force of his own actions, and the sense of responsibility that settles in afterward. Through sparse, vivid imagery and a refrain that echoes like a confession, the song reflects on how an encounter with a single creature can open a wider understanding of empathy, remorse, and the desire to make meaning from what we take.

Song Lyrics
I was fishing for trout in a stream
I spent hours there alone
I held the fish and I could feel
All the panic in its bones
I took something from something else
With a stone
I took something from something else
With a stone
I was swinging the stone and I broke its spine
There was a spasm in my hand
Laid it down and watched it quiet
Cooking slowly in the pan
I took something from something else
With a stone
I took something from something else
With a stone
And I feel sorry
Where my heart is, there’s a hole
Yeah, I feel sorry
Where my heart is, there’s a hole
Started feeling that I owe that fish
Something that matters more than this
Something deeper, something heavier
Something more than whittling time
I took something from something else
With a stone
I took something from something else
With a stone
