What do you think 'kicking down the cobblestones,' mean in the song, 'Feeling Groovy' by Paul Simon? Slow down, you move too fast You got to make the morning last Just kicking down the cobblestones Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy. I was looking for if the expression was symbolic. If the word cobblestone' stood for some kind of problem or task at hand, so that you want to kick it down to remove the obstacle in your mind. But I could not see that it means anything else than the stones used in a cobblestone street. So I guess it's his way of saying: this is how I walk, randomly letting my feet hit the elevated cobblestones, as if I were kicking them. Drowsy and looking for fun, he is unconcerned about how he walks.
