Mountains
Carolina Deslandes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you can't reach me
Yeah you can't reach me
You got a broken heart
Don't let them see it
Don't let them see it
You built a wall bigger than your dreams
Baby, open the door
Let me come closer
I'll dry your tears
When the lights go out
I'll still be here
When the world falls down
Just listen clear
If only you knew that your words can
Yeah, they can move a mountain
You're changing my world when you're smiling
And I can't live without it
No, I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
'Cause you are the air that I breathe
Step into the dark
So you can see me
You can see me
We're a work of art
That I couldn't finish
I couldn't finish
I built a wall bigger than my pride
And how I wish you were here by my side
But I closed the door
Still I want you closer
With nothing to hide
When the lights go out
I'll still be here
When the world falls down
Just listen clear
If only you knew that your words can
Yeah, they can move a mountain
You're changing my world when you're smiling
And I can't live without it
No, I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
'Cause you are the air that I breathe
Yeah you are the air that I breathe
You are the air that I breathe
When the lights go out
Search for me, search for me
And I'll clear your doubts
If only you knew that your words can
Yeah, they can move a mountain
You're changing my world when you're smiling
And I can't live without it
No, I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
I won't leave you hanging, hanging, oh no
'Cause you are the air that I breathe
Yeah you are the air that I breathe
You are the air that I breathe
Carolina Deslandes's song "Mountains" is a song about the ups and downs of relationships. In the first verse, the singer is trying to reach someone who is feeling isolated or alone. The person has built a wall around themselves, protecting themselves from further hurt and disappointment. The singer is trying to break down the wall that the other person has built by offering them comfort and support. The line "if only you knew that your words can move a mountain" is a metaphor for the idea that one person's words can have a powerful impact on another person.
In the second verse, the roles are reversed and the singer admits to having built a wall around herself as well. She wants the other person to know that she wants to be closer to them, but is unsure how to break down her own walls. The chorus repeats the idea that both the singer and the other person are important to each other and that they need each other to survive.
Overall, the song is about the power of words and the importance of human connections. The metaphor of building walls and breaking them down is used to represent the way that people can isolate themselves from others when they are feeling hurt or vulnerable. However, the message of the song is that no one is ever truly alone and that people can always find comfort and support in others if they are willing to be vulnerable.

Está das melhores músicas portuguesas cantadas em inglês na minha opinião. Quando a ouvia na rádio não fazia a menor ideia de que eram portugueses e considero o meu vocabulário e sotaque inglês bastante bom modéstia aparte
@Zita73Zita
Pedro Santos Também não fazia ideia que eram portugueses! E conheço-os aos dois, embora vagamente.
@miguelvilar9772
Pedro Santos É pena que a fama subi-lhe há cabeça...
@Jeustful
Pedro Santos hehehe realmente é uma música muito boa. Agir e Carolina Deslandes têm futuro.
@biasousa7799
miguel vilar porque é que dizes que a fama lhe subiou a cabeça
@miguelvilar9772
Bia Sousa pq eu sou parente dela e acredita subiu a cabeça a fama ela antes não era como agora, foi pa pior ...
@hugosantos8863
Já não suporto ver as mesmas criticas. O que importa se cantam em inglês ou se o sotaque é mau ? Orgulhem-se de eles serem portugueses e terem feito um excelente trabalho. Parabéns aos dois.
@a.saraiva6450
Sou só eu que adoro o sotaque? Acho que está perfeito.
@carolinamatias3552
É isso mesmo kkk . Parabens aos dois. Eu adoro o sotaque deles.
@hugosantos8863
As pessoas só estão bem a criticar o que está bom. Argumentos dados só por dar.. enfim
