Discover the story of the song > Hey Man – 12 Stones

The lyrics are about a person who is waiting for someone to help them and feeling suffocated by reality. They are begging for a chance and feel trapped by the choices they make. But the singer believes that it's time for this person to pick themselves up and start again. They ask if the person is too afraid to take the lead and face their fears, or if they are strong enough to overcome the pain and challenges that lie ahead. The artist encourages them to open their eyes and take control of their own destiny, even though success is not guaranteed. The song repeats the question of whether the person will give in to their fears or rise to the challenge.
