Rocky Mountain Blues
Rocky Resilience: Conquering Heartbreak in Billie Holiday's Melody
Lyrics
I cried last night
I experienced sorrow and tears last night.
I cried all the night before
I experienced sorrow and tears the night before as well.
I cried last night
Repetition of the emotional distress from the previous night.
I cried all the night before
Reiteration of the emotional distress from two nights ago.
I cried my eyes this morning
I cried excessively this morning.
And I ain't go to cry no more
I've decided not to cry anymore.
I will climb these mountains
Expressing determination to overcome challenges represented by mountains.
If is the last thing I do
Expressing a strong commitment to climb the mountains, even if it's the last thing done in life.
I will climb these mountains
Reiterating the commitment to climb the mountains.
If is the last thing I do
Reiteration of the commitment, emphasizing its importance.
And when I climb these rocky mountains
Anticipation of overcoming obstacles represented by rocky mountains.
There'll be no more crying over you
Expectation of an end to emotional pain associated with a past relationship after conquering challenges.
You said you'd be my lover
Recalling a promise of love and faithfulness.
And you promised to be true
Affirmation of a commitment to be true to the promise of love.
Well, I took you for my lover
Decision to make the person a lover despite the heartbreak.
And you broke my heart in two
Feeling betrayed as the lover breaks the speaker's heart.
You broke a promise
Accusation of the lover breaking promises and deceit through false kisses.
Each kiss you gave was lie
Despite the betrayal, expressing determination to overcome challenges represented by mountains.
But I'll climb these rocky mountains
Reiteration of the commitment, with a strong desire to succeed.
If I don't I hope to die
Expressing the seriousness of the commitment, even to the point of death.
Someday you'll be sad and lonely
Predicting that the person will experience sadness and loneliness in the future.
And you'll want to come to me
Anticipating the person's desire to seek comfort from the speaker.
Yes, some day you'd be lonely
Reiteration of the expectation that the person will seek solace.
And you'll want to come to me
Planning to be hidden in the mountains, experiencing deep emotional blues.
I'll be hide on these mountains
Emphasizing the isolation and contemplation in the mountains.
Gaze and caught the deep blues
Indicating a profound emotional state while being in the mountains.
Woohee, mountains
An exclamation expressing the magnitude and power of the mountains.
Yes, you'll rock all the way
The mountains are depicted as a force rocking intensely.
Woohee, mountains
Reiteration of the powerful and rocking nature of the mountains.
You'll rock all the way
Anticipation of the mountains rocking consistently.
But if I leave and nothing happens
If the speaker leaves and nothing changes, reaching the mountain tops on a sunny day.
I reach the tops on sunny day
Expressing hope for a positive outcome after facing challenges.
