I hope this is a joke.

It's "we were but stones, your light made us stars."

Without light, that's what stars are, stones.

I thought it was a bunch of plasma and gases. I don't think the sun has a solid core. That's what I learned from The Universe on TLC or Discovery or History Channel.

They were stones, but then then light came along and melted the stones and made them into stars.

lol.

Yep, you're right.

Not to get all dorky here, but stars are made of plasma which is its own state of matter because its properties are neither totally physical or gaseous.

No way, I'm pretty sure butt stones are like kidney stones for your butt. Ed was like trying to create a metaphor for pain. He's so creative, fuckin genius!

They were butt stones?

Wow, that's pretty low.
Going from butt stones to stars is impressive.
Though most of the "stars" today are actually lower than butt stones.

I really hope someone here gets to the bottom of this.

I think I just lost some of the precious few brain cells that remain after the week in Cali.

"And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...
Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar
We were butt stones"

I think this is a song about anal fixation and potty training. I think Ed may have been too strongly attached to his poo at an early age and this possibly has effected him deeply down the years with regards human relationships e.t.c.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_training
'Many psychologists believe that toilet training is among the most formative events of the human psyche because it is the child's first introduction to the fact that social imperatives can take precedence over bodily desires.[2] According to Sigmund Freud, a child can have problems later in life if the toilet training does not go well, or is too strict.[3] For example, as an adult a person could strive for perfection or excessive cleanliness because they were too harshly trained. The current popular wisdom on this subject is that toilet training is a mutual task, requiring cooperation, agreement and understanding between both the child and the caregiver. It is strongly recommended that coercion and shame are not used as disciplinary instruction tools during this phase of development.

Indeed, the best potty training techniques emphasize consistency and positive reinforcement over punishment'.

It's just another dig at Stone. Ed knows he's the yin to his yang. He could have called it yang stones, or Stone's yang.

I think butt stones are those farts that hurt really bad and when it comes out, it feels spherical in nature. You know like you just passed a cobble outchya ass.

U R A Crazy Breed

stones are dead rock,dull=boring=lack luster

stars = bright=radiant=life giving

the light she shined inspired greatness and transformed me from a stone/rock to a star = rock star.
