Overall Meaning

The song "Everest" by About A Plane Crash seems to be discussing a plane crash and its aftermath. The singer describes feeling as if the air is choking them and their eyes can't focus on what's ahead. They mention vultures looking for "the cold hands of regret", a haunting image of death waiting to collect its toll. The phrase "you're just a means to a means, to an end" suggests a feeling of detachment or nihilism. Perhaps the singer feels that in the grand scheme of things, their individual life doesn't matter, and they've become resigned to the inevitability of their demise.


The second half of the song seems to describe the aftermath of the crash. The singer mentions "caved memories" and a "land thirsty for the taste of recognition", suggesting a sense of loss and an inability to move on. The line "the blizzards are slashing through the lies you told" suggests that there is some sort of deceit or betrayal that took place prior to the crash. The singer seems to be haunted by the memory of the crash and the people who died, particularly one woman with a "faded smile" and weeping eyes.
