According to the band's website:
"Boys Boys Boys! were born when a group of girls working in a retro diner decided music was the only way to stop crinkle cut fries and burger grease from coming between them. In a musical scene where being cool is so important Perth now had a troupe of daggy dancing kids to light up stages with their brand of shimmering pop.
When their infectious onstage energy had been making waves for a while vocalist Bridget got a call from her mum one day. "You know why Boys Boys Boys! will make it?". Bridget paused for a moment wondering what possible insight her mother could be bringing to the table. "Because you have a mission". A moment's pause turned into a pregnant one. "A mission to make sure people have fun.".
Boys Boys Boys! are on a mission to make you smile and make you dance. They aren't afraid to be a little silly, a little daggy...and they are proud of their pure pop sound."

One of many children
Everybody has
Their own opinion
Everybody has
Their own opinion
Holding it back
Hurts so bad
And I said
Cash in!
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now honey
Cash in miss smith
Cash in now!
I was comin down the mountain
Met a child she had pin eyes
We had the same opinion
Had the same opinion
She was holding it back
It hurts do bad
Jumping out of her flesh
And I said
Cash in!
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now honey
Cash in miss smith
Cash in now!
The song "Mountains" by Boys Boys Boys starts with the line "Comin' down the mountain" which is a metaphor for coming down from a high, either a high of drug use or an emotional high. The singer of the song meets a child who also has her own opinions and is holding back. This could represent the singer's inner child or a real child that they are trying to help. The chorus repeats the phrase "Cash in now honey" which could mean to take advantage of the current situation and make the most out of it. The use of the name "Miss Smith" in the chorus could refer to a teacher or authority figure who is encouraging the singer to make the most out of their situation.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics in this song could represent the cyclical nature of life and how we often find ourselves in the same situations over and over again. The chorus could also represent the idea of taking action and making the most out of our circumstances instead of just holding back and letting life pass us by.
Overall, "Mountains" by Boys Boys Boys is a song about taking advantage of the present moment and making the most out of it. It could also be interpreted as a call to action to break free from our own limitations and make a change in our lives.
