The group is made up of Mariana and Tulio, who chose to start the project thanks to their similar tastes. Their first material is the EP "Motionless" (2014), with which they gained the attention of the music industry. With this production they managed to play in some festivals such as Aquí no Hubo Escena (2015) and Festival Marvin (2016), as well as playing shows in different cities. Later, in 2016, they presented "Calma", their first full-length material. In this production, the duo continued to show their talent and gain more fans.
In recent years they have taken a break to continue composing and analysing the new beats that will accompany them.
Mountains
Budaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last thing they think
The roof and window saw it all
And it's being forgotten
I can't argue natures's law
Giant mountains out there, that came from nothing
Giant mountains out there, that came from nothing
That came from nothing
That came from nothing
Between the layers in serial planes
Porcelain skins in the fog, fade
Gian mountains out there that came from nothing
From nothing.
Turn around and rise, rise above these lies
Clean the sweat up your palms
Moments never come back
But we do not own time
But memories watch over the night
Moments never come back
But we do not own time
But memories watch over the night
Turn around and rise, rise above these lies
Clean the sweat up your palms
Between the layers in serial planes
Porcelain skins in the fog, fade
Gian mountains out there that came from nothing
From nothing.
Between the layers in serial planes
Porcelain skins in the fog, fade
Gian mountains out there that came from nothing
From nothing.
The lyrics of Budaya's song "Mountains" explore themes of impermanence and the passing of time. The first verse speaks of a solitary leaf on a tree which is being forgotten, but still meant something. The second verse shifts to the grandeur of the natural world, with giant mountains that seem to have come from nothing. The chorus calls for rising above lies and cherishing memories, with a repeated focus on the mountains.
The use of imagery throughout the song creates a poignant contrast between the fleeting and the enduring. The leaf on a tree and the fleeting fog both fade away, while the mountains stand tall and seemingly eternal. This contrast is extended to the theme of time, with moments that never come back, but memories that watch over the night. The song ultimately suggests finding strength in appreciating the beauty of nature and cherishing the memories that endure.
