"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
