a "Led marbler stone"?

Hi, I heard someone say "my eyelids are so heavy, like led marbler stone."
I wonder what 'led marbler' really is, maybe a mis-heard of some other words?

Thanks.

lead (the heavy metal), not led
(same pronunciation)

Also, he probably said marble stone (i.e. marble), not marbler.

It all means "heavy like marble stone."

Just as a footnote:


maybe a mis-heard of some other words?

=> "Maybe I misheard".

"Marble" + "or", yes. I have just practised saying it in a French accent, and I think it could be very easily done.
