Cold Mountain
Journey Through Cold Mountain: Unveiling Nature's Secrets
Lyrics
If we want to know this mountain
If we want to understand this challenge or obstacle
we’re gonna have to see its dark side
We must explore its difficult or hidden aspects
Lie on our backs in the tall grass
Requiring us to lie down in the tall grass
the color of the crow’s eyes
Which resembles the color of a crow's eyes
I saw a miracle here once
Recalling a miraculous event witnessed in this place
In a blue sky rain
Under a rain shower against a blue sky
I can show you where first felt God
Offering to guide someone to where the narrator first felt a divine presence
And tell you how I lost that again
But also acknowledging the subsequent loss of that spiritual connection
You know I grew up way out here
Describing the narrator's upbringing in a remote area
Where the wind blows all day
Where the wind is a constant force
Like a bitter lover, spurned and wronged
Comparing the wind to a bitter lover seeking retribution
Looking for somebody to pay
Expressing a desire for someone to bear the consequences
You know it hardens some people
Noting the hardening effect on some individuals
Others it just wears away
While others are gradually worn down by it
Got inside my brother like a madness
Referring to the impact of this environment on the narrator's brother, leading to madness
It took him far away
Resulting in his departure to a distant place
I feel the air turning into cold steel
Sensing a change in the atmosphere, turning into something cold and unyielding
Nothing that I can’t feel
Expressing an emotional experience that is palpable
In the gunmetal Sky tonight
Against a sky resembling gunmetal, possibly indicating a somber or threatening atmosphere
I know how hard
Acknowledging the difficulty of the endeavor
we try, we try
Emphasizing the persistent effort despite challenges
Cold mountains for us to climb
Highlighting the existence of challenging mountains to climb
If we want to know this mountain we’re gonna have to see its dark side
Reiterating the need to explore the darker aspects of the obstacle to understand it
Lie on our backs in the tall grass the color of the crow’s eyes
Repeating the imagery of lying in the tall grass, emphasizing its importance
