Lyrics
I’ve scaled the highest mountain
The speaker has accomplished significant achievements or faced considerable challenges.
Crossed the big blue sea
They have traveled extensively or faced vast experiences.
Chased that mighty, mighty dollar
Pursued material wealth and success.
The wealthy rich man I could be
Aspired to become a wealthy individual.
Little things all around me
The speaker realizes the significance of small, unnoticed things around them.
Little things I could never see
They were previously unaware of or didn't appreciate the importance of these small things.
Like the love you tried to give me
Recognizing the love someone offered but was not valued.
And in the end just threw away
The love was disregarded or discarded in the end.
I stood atop the golden tower
The speaker reached a high point of success or privilege.
Rode upon a silver steed
They had possessions or experiences symbolizing wealth and grandeur.
Piled the riches higher and higher
Accumulated significant wealth and abundance.
More than a man could ever need
Had more than necessary or more than they could ever use.
Little things all around me
Realization of previously unnoticed small things.
Little things that I could never see
These small, important things were overlooked or ignored.
Like the heart beating inside me
Acknowledging the presence of an essential emotional aspect within.
That I just threw away
However, this emotional connection was discarded.
Like this heart beating inside me
Reiterating the presence of the emotional aspect that was neglected.
That I just threw away
Emphasizing the disregard or lack of appreciation for this emotional aspect.
Those little things all around me
The small, significant things persist around the speaker.
Little things I never learn to see
The speaker still fails to recognize or appreciate these important things.
Like the love you tried to give me
Acknowledging the love that was offered.
That I went and threw away
Regretting the action of discarding or not valuing that love.
Like the love you tried to give me
Repeating the acknowledgment of the disregarded love.
I just threw away
Emphasizing the regret of discarding the love.
Ahh threw away
Expressing the act of discarding or neglecting.
Little things all around me
Continued realization of overlooked small, meaningful things.
Little things that I could never see
Reiterating the lack of awareness or appreciation for these significant details.
Like the heart breaking inside me
Acknowledging the emotional pain caused by disregarding something important.
That I just threw away
Regret over discarding the emotionally valuable thing.
