To the Top of Tiger Hill
Ascending Love: Tiger Hill's Anthem of Freedom and Connection
Lyrics
To the top of Tiger Hill
To reach the summit of Tiger Hill
Once we're up we'll share the world
Once we reach the top, we'll collectively experience and enjoy the world
We'll pull down the stars above
We will achieve great heights and aspirations, symbolized by pulling down the stars above
Until the cops come and drive us off
Our enjoyment will be disrupted by authorities ("cops") who will drive us away from our favorite location
From our favorite spot
Referring to a cherished place that holds significance to the speaker
To the top of Tiger Hill
Reiteration of the goal to reach the top of Tiger Hill
The dogs come out to witness
Dogs symbolically represent onlookers or witnesses
The city lights low beneath us
The city lights are dim from the elevated perspective
The eternity before us
The speaker perceives a vast, limitless future
In your eyes
The eternity is seen through the eyes of a companion
Because low beneath us
Reiteration of the city lights singing, emphasizing their significance
Those city lights sing chorus
The city lights collectively express desires and aspirations
Of everything you wanted and more
The city lights represent everything desired and more, sung in chorus with the speaker
With me
The speaker expresses a connection and shared experience with the companion
To the top of Tiger Hill
Reiteration of the goal to reach the top of Tiger Hill
Aliens may prowl the world
The speaker acknowledges the possibility of challenges or unfamiliar experiences ("aliens")
But I know I'm free
The speaker feels a sense of freedom despite potential challenges
Of everything
The freedom is from everything that might restrict or burden
When you sit next to me on the pavement
Shared moments of joy and expression while sitting together on the pavement
On the pavement and sing
Continuation of shared experiences on the pavement, expressed through singing
Because low beneath us
Reiteration of the city lights singing, emphasizing their significance
Those city lights sing chorus
The city lights collectively express desires and aspirations
Of everything you wanted and more
The city lights represent everything desired and more, sung in chorus with the speaker
With me
The speaker expresses a connection and shared experience with the companion
Without you here those hills mean nothing
Without the companion, the hills lose their significance or value
Without you here the lights don't sing
Without the companion, the lights lose their vibrancy and meaning
Without your glow I just can't see
The speaker emphasizes the importance of the companion's glow for clarity and vision
Without your glow I just can't see
Reiteration of the importance of the companion's glow for vision
Without your glow I just can't see
Repetition to emphasize the significance of the companion's glow for sight
Where I'd rather be
Expressing the speaker's preference for being with the companion
To the top of Tiger Hill
Reiteration of the goal to reach the top of Tiger Hill
To the top of Tiger Hill
-I said
Reaffirmation of the speaker's commitment to reaching the top of Tiger Hill
To the top of
Continued emphasis on reaching the summit of Tiger Hill
To the top of
-To the top of
-To the top of
-To the top of
-To the top of
-Tiger Hill
Final mention of the destination, Tiger Hill
