Lyrics
I see a mountain at my gates
I perceive a significant challenge or obstacle in my life
I see it more and more each day
This challenge becomes more apparent and daunting each passing day
What I give, it takes away
What I offer or sacrifice, it takes something away from me
Whether I go or when I stay
Whether I decide to move forward or stay in my current situation
I see a mountain at my gates
Reiteration of the mountain at the gates, emphasizing its persistence
I see it more and more each day
The awareness of the challenge continues to grow
I see a fire out by the lake
An additional element of danger or intensity, represented by a fire by the lake
I'll drive my car without the brakes
Willingness to confront challenges without hesitation or restraint
I see a mountain in my way
Another mention of the mountain, suggesting its obstructive presence
It's looming larger by the day
The obstacle becomes increasingly formidable
I see a darkness in my fate
A sense of foreboding or negativity in one's destiny
I'll drive my car without the brakes
Reiteration of facing challenges boldly, even at potential risk
Oh, gimme some time
Request for time and space to deal with the challenges
Show me the foothold from which I can climb
Seeking guidance or a starting point for overcoming difficulties
Yeah, when I feel low
During moments of emotional low, looking for signs or guidance
You show me a signpost for where I should go
Guidance or direction for the right path when feeling lost
I see a mountain at my gates
Reiteration of the persistent mountain imagery
I see it more and more each day
The awareness of the challenge continues to intensify
And my desire wears a dark dress
Desire is presented with a dark or challenging aspect
But each day, I see you less
Despite desire, the connection or presence with someone is diminishing
Oh, gimme some time
Repetition of the request for time and space
Show me the foothold from which I can climb
Continued search for a starting point or foothold in difficult times
Yeah, when I feel low
Looking for guidance during emotional lows
You show me a signpost for where I should go
Seeking signs to determine the right direction in challenging times
Through lanes and stone rows
Reference to various obstacles and challenges along the journey
Black granite, wind blows
Mention of enduring challenges symbolized by black granite and wind
Fire lake and far flame
Elements of danger and beauty with a fire lake and distant flame
Go now but come again
Departure but anticipation of return
Dark clouds gather 'round
Uncertainty and potential adversity represented by dark clouds
Will I run or stand my ground
The decision to either flee or confront challenges
Oh, when I come to climb
Request for guidance when approaching a climb or challenge
Show me the mountain so far behind
Desire to see the challenges overcome or left behind
Yeah, it's farther away
Recognition that challenges are receding but still present
Its shadow gets smaller day after day
The impact of challenges diminishes over time
Yeah, gimme my way
Asserting the right to one's own path or journey
Gimme my love
Desire for love and positive experiences
Gimme my choice
Claiming the right to make choices in life
You keep me coming around
The persistent nature of certain aspects in life
Gimme my fate
Acceptance or acknowledgment of fate
Gimme my lungs
Claiming ownership or control over one's breath or life force
Gimme my voice
Assertion of one's voice or individuality
You keep me coming around
Recognition of the enduring nature of certain elements in life
Gimme my lungs
Claiming the right to breathe and live
Gimme my, gimme my
Repetition of the desire for various aspects, emphasizing persistence
Gimme my, gimme my
-Gimme my, gimme my
-Gimme my, gimme my
-Gimme my way
-Gimme my fate
-Gimme my lungs
-Gimme my choice
-You keep me coming round
The enduring presence of certain elements in life
