The Hill
Unveiling the Emotional Landscape: The Hill by George Maple
Lyrics
Well I've taken cities
Expressing a history of conquering cities
Burned them to the ground
Describing destruction by burning
Turned buildings to dust
Turning structures into dust
Without making a sound
Emphasizing the silent nature of the destruction
And I've talked to angels
Claiming communication with angels
They told me my fate
Angels revealing destiny
But I never listened
Not heeding the advice of angels
I just walked away
Choosing to ignore guidance and walk away
Now I'm standing here
Presenting the narrator's current location
In our house on the Hill
Referring to a shared residence on a hill
The door was left open
Noticing an open door in the house
In the air is a chill
Sensing a cold atmosphere in the air
And i thought i could take it
Believing in self-sufficiency
Coz I need no one
Confident in independence, feeling invulnerable
And now it feels wasted
Realizing a sense of waste being alone
Being here on my own
Acknowledging loneliness
Before I met you
Life before meeting someone special
I had nothing to prove
Previously having nothing to prove
And now it's so clear
Now recognizing the value and stakes in life
That I have so much to lose
Understanding the potential for loss
So as I wait here
Waiting in the shared residence
In our house on the hill
Realizing the need to express true feelings
Think i should tell you
Contemplating the disclosure of emotions
How I really feel
The internal struggle of revealing emotions
I find it hard
Struggling to be emotionally open
To live from my heart
Building emotional barriers for protection
There's so many walls
Describing a defensive mindset with many walls
I'm always on guard
Constantly on guard emotionally
See I look for danger
Searching for potential harm in every situation
Round every corner
Living in fear before a transformative encounter
But that was before
Life changed after meeting someone special
Then I saw you
Noticing a positive change in perspective
I thought I could take it
Overestimating personal strength
Thought that I'd be fine
Believing in resilience and recovery
There's no need to chase it
Confidence in the eventual return of a loved one
She'll come round in her time
Having faith in the natural course of relationships
Now it is clear
Realizing a significant error in judgment
I have made a mistake
Acknowledging a mistake but reluctant to lose
But i do not want you
Expressing a desire for reconciliation
To just walk away
Not wanting the other person to leave
Before I met you
Reflecting on life before a significant connection
I had nothing to prove
Recalling a time of personal stability
And now it's so clear
Awareness of newfound vulnerability
That I have so much to lose
Understanding the potential for significant loss
So as I wait here
Waiting for resolution and reconciliation
In our house on the hill
Emphasizing the shared residence on the hill
And I find the courage
Finding the courage to express true emotions
To tell you how I feel
Concluding the song by sharing inner feelings
