Lyrics

Climb up your mountain, nineteen and countin'

Climbing a personal mountain at the age of nineteen, counting the steps or achievements.

You have got seven, I have got one

You possess seven of something significant, while I have only one.

Blinded and hurtin', this I'm deserving

Feeling blinded and in pain, possibly as a consequence of one's actions or experiences.

I've got my secrets, you've only got the sleeping sun

I possess hidden truths or personal mysteries that you're unaware of, represented as the "sleeping sun."


When you've got a secret then you've got to keep it

When you hold a secret, it's imperative to maintain confidentiality.

When you have a question, answers will come

Answers will eventually reveal themselves when one seeks solutions to their questions.

Running and hiding, take and dividing

Escaping and concealing, possibly avoiding confrontation or sharing, leading to division.

You've got your secrets, I've only got a sleeping sun

You possess your own undisclosed truths or mysteries, different from mine represented by the "sleeping sun."

And you, as I saw, a piece in a jigsaw

Perceiving someone as a piece fitting into a larger puzzle or context.

Run up and around it and jump up real tall

Moving energetically around something, metaphorically or literally, and reaching great heights.

Run round the houses north and the south is

Traversing different paths, possibly indicating exploration or searching in various directions.

You've got your answers, we've only got a sleeping sun
