Mountains and the Sea
Journey of Transformation: Mountains, Seas, and the Essence Within
Lyrics
Once we were very hard to see
Describes a time when they were not easily noticed or recognized.
Over the hills and through the swamp
Traversing difficult terrain, facing challenges.
Waiting until the moment came
Being patient until the opportune moment arrives.
Knowing we'd never be the same
Awareness that experiences will cause irreversible change.
Mothers they told us how to be
Received guidance on behavior and character from mothers.
Fathers they worshipped through the pain
Fathers revered despite enduring suffering.
Shaken, we wandered through the sun
Feeling unsettled, moving aimlessly under the sun.
Come away with me, we'll choose between the mountains and the sea
Invitation to decide between different life paths symbolized by mountains and the sea.
West to the towers and the trees
Journeying westward encountering urban landscapes.
The car dealerships and city dumps
Encountering commercial and industrial areas.
The gangs of the palest warriors
Groups influenced by misinformation and fear.
Guided by ignorance and fear
Guided by lack of knowledge and anxiety.
Changing our faces and our names
Changing identities and appearances.
Snow boots and very furry heads
Wearing warm footwear and possibly unique headwear.
Lost taking buses, taking trains
Feeling lost while using public transportation.
Come away with me, we'll choose between the mountains and the sea
Reiterating the choice between different life paths.
The world is spinning round
Describes the ongoing cycle of life's experiences.
The stink, the sight, the sound
Perceptions of unpleasant sensory experiences.
You're gonna get through it
Encouragement to endure challenges.
The snow is falling down
Depiction of snowfall in an urban setting.
It slowly paints the city blue.
The snow transforms the cityscape.
Once we were very hard to see
Repetition of the initial sentiment of being unseen.
Over the hills and through the swamp
Reiteration of traversing challenging terrain.
Waiting until your moment came
Waiting for someone else's moment of change.
Knowing you'd never be the same
Acknowledgment of inevitable personal transformation.
Down through the magic, you have come
Descent into enchantment or wonder.
To light tiny fires in your brain
Metaphor for igniting intellectual curiosity.
Lost taking buses, taking trains
Feeling directionless while using transportation.
Come away with me, we'll choose between the mountains and the sea
Reiterating the invitation to choose between life paths.
