Sleeping Mountain
Awakening Fury: Unveiling the Dormant Power Within
Lyrics
I hear the distant roar
I perceive a distant, continuous sound.
As the waves cut into the bay
The waves are carving into the bay.
Just like the hungry words
Similar to voracious words, something has eroded away.
That's eaten this thing away
The destructive power of words has consumed something.
Whoa! I can feel it disappearing
A realization that something is vanishing.
Underneath that cool veneer it's boiling hot
Beneath a calm exterior, there is intense emotion.
And one day soon I know you're going to blow your top
Anticipation of an upcoming emotional outburst.
Like a sleeping mountain - lying there waiting to blow
Comparison of the emotional build-up to a dormant volcano.
And some day It'll rise up
Suggesting that the emotional eruption will happen someday.
Rise up so high
The emotional outburst will be significant.
And there'll be a cloud of smoke
Visualizing the aftermath with a vivid image of smoke.
Across a magenta sky
Describing the impact on the sky after the eruption.
Whoa! I can feel the lava flowing
Sensing the internal emotional turmoil.
Underneath that cool veneer it's boiling hot
Reiteration of hidden intensity beneath a calm facade.
And one day soon I know you're going to blow your top
Expectation of an imminent emotional release.
Heading down that icy slope, crystal pure
Describing a slippery, dangerous slope with purity.
Behind the rugged beauty of your tranquil shore
Contrasting the beauty of the shore with potential danger.
Like a sleeping mountain - lying there just waiting to blow
Reiterating the comparison to a dormant volcano.
Like a sleeping mountain - lying there just ready to blow
Emphasizing the latent explosive nature.
Never seem to notice if it's dusk or dawn
Ignoring the passage of time or changes in the environment.
Might as well be naked in a thunderstorm
Feeling vulnerable in the face of a powerful emotional storm.
And underneath that cool veneer it's boiling hot
Repeating the theme of hidden intensity beneath composure.
One day soon I know you're going to blow your top
Anticipating the eruption in the near future.
Like a sleeping mountain - lying there just waiting to blow
Comparing the imminent emotional release to a volcano.
Like a sleeping mountain
Restating the comparison to a dormant mountain.
Come on and let me feel the lava flow.
Inviting the experience of the emotional eruption.
