This phrase typically refers to the act of suddenly realizing something that was either very obvious, or that everybody else already knew.
Where did this phrase come from? Does it have a deeper meaning?
The phrase originated in the Boston area.
Marblehead, a coastal town in Massachusetts, is reputed to be the birthplace of the U.S. Navy. The town is built almost entirely on bedrock, which is probably how the town got its' name.
There's no terribly deep meaning here: dawn breaking over an area of dense rock is a pretty clear analogy!
