Western Ridge
Mystical Trails: A Journey Through Uncharted Realms
Lyrics
This is where the trail just disappears
This marks the point where the trail becomes untraceable.
This is where their story ends
Here signifies the conclusion of their narrative.
No one knows where they went from here
Their destination after this point is unknown to everyone.
But I remember when they drank a toast
Recollection of a moment when a celebratory toast was made.
To the route that no one else had tried
A toast to the unconventional path they undertook.
Working up along the western ridge
Describes the labor along the western ridge, where the watershed separates.
Where the watershed divides
Refers to the geographical divide along the western ridge.
Way up there, they found their
At a high altitude, they discovered their spot in the sky.
Place in the sky
Implies a location of significance in the sky they reached.
Around the fire, we told the tales
Around a fire, stories were shared about their close calls.
Of how they'd cut it close before
Narrating instances when they narrowly escaped danger.
And wandered lost after the avalanche
Getting lost after an avalanche and finding their way back.
But stumbled back to camp at dawn
Returning to camp at dawn after facing challenges.
But now it's much too long to hold the hope
Expresses that holding onto hope is no longer feasible.
The glacier ice can echo deep
The deep echoes of glacier ice, a metaphor for challenges.
I thought, I felt a tug along the rope
A sense of being pulled awake, possibly by challenges.
And it pulled me from my sleep
The awakening experience disrupts sleep and routine.
Working up along the western ridge
Continuing the narrative of effort along the western ridge.
Where the watershed divides
Reiterates the geographical division along the ridge.
Way up there, they found their
High up in the ridge, they discovered a significant place.
Place in the sky
Their elevated spot of significance in the sky.
The air is clear and the ice is blue
Describing the atmosphere and visibility from the ridge.
You can see from down below
Visibility from below, emphasizing clarity in the air and ice.
That curling up over the eastern side
Depiction of a snow plume over the eastern side.
Is a silent plume of snow
The silent, drifting snow adds a serene element to the scene.
Working up along the western ridge
Revisiting the effort along the western ridge.
Where the watershed divides
Emphasizes the geographical division at the watershed.
Way up there, they found their
Reaffirming the discovery of a significant place high above.
Place in the sky
Restates the elevated location found in the sky.
Way up there, they found their
Reiteration of discovering a place of significance high above.
Place in the sky
Their established spot in the sky, emphasizing its permanence.
