I wonder what do these lyrics mean "Of monsters and men" is one of my favorite bands recently. I'd love to recommend this song—Empire, and ask questions about lyrics of it. I understand the most lyrics. Only one sentence confuse me. "Heavy stones fear no weather." What does it mean? no weather? The complete lyrics below: Feel the ocean as it breathes Shivering teeth See the mountains where they meet Smothering me As the wind fends off the waves I count down the days Heavy stones fear no weather I find comfort in the sound And the shape of the heart How it echoes through the chest From under the ground As the hills turn into holes I fill them with gold Heavy stones fear no weather And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate! There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two And I paint your body black I hide in your hair And you're staring back at me Like I wasn't there As our bodies become stills We welcome the fear Heavy stones fear no weather

I wonder what do these lyrics mean (this clause is written in question form, but in fact is not a question.  true, you have a question in mind, but still it is not expressed as a question)

I wonder, what do these lyrics mean?  Now it is a question!

I understand the most of the lyrics. Only one sentence confuses me.
"Heavy stones fear no weather." What does it mean? no weather?

No matter how strong the wind, the waves, the rain, huge rocks will be unaffected by the weather

Whatever the weather the rocks are unmoved.  Here it may be a metaphor for something or someone solid and unmoveable


The complete lyrics below:

Feel the ocean as it breathes
Shivering teeth
See the mountains where they meet
Smothering me
As the wind fends off the waves
I count down the days
Heavy stones fear no weather

I find comfort in the sound
And the shape of the heart
How it echoes through the chest
From under the ground
As the hills turn into holes
I fill them with gold
Heavy stones fear no weather

And from the rain
Comes a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate!
There's a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
An empire for two

And I paint your body black
I hide in your hair
And you're staring back at me
Like I wasn't there
As our bodies become stills
We welcome the fear
Heavy stones fear no weather

"Heavy stones fear no weather" My guess is that it means heavy stones are less like to be affected by any type of weather.
