mountain
Collington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I forgot where I got my strength
Driving along it felt so smooth
And I was singing a song
With the windows rolled down
And the wind blowing through my hair
I slipped out of the car and looked around and despair
And don't know if I was supposed to be here at all
I climbed up ahead and found somewhere
To lay my head for the night
And then I heard you say
Years ago I was just a boy
I needed to let go of all I was
And now I find myself being put back together again
At the foot of a mountain in a desert somewhere
I slipped out of the car and looked around and despair
And don't know if I was supposed to be here at all
I don't know how I got here I was lost and on my own
I don't know where I came from I just want to go home
And then I heard you say
It's always been easy
But I didn't say it wasn't hard
And if you trust me and believe
That I brought you this far
And I said that this would be never ending
But I didn't say I wouldn't bring you to you end
I didn't say it wouldn't cost you everything
But you've had me since the start
Collingtonβs song Mountain tells the story of a journey. The singer starts off driving down the road, singing along and feeling invincible. But suddenly, he runs out of gas and finds himself stranded at the foot of a mountain in a desert. He is lost and unsure of his purpose but decides to climb up the mountain to find a place to rest. His journey takes on a spiritual turn as he hears a voice telling him that he has been brought this far by trust and faith. He realizes that his life's journey has been all leading to this moment; he needed to go through the trials to find his calling.
The lyrics speak to the idea of life being a journey that is full of highs and lows; that sometimes we run out of energy along the way but can always find our way back with faith and trust. It reminds listeners that sometimes being lost is what it takes to find one's calling in life.
Mountain is a deeply emotional song, and its message is one of hope and perseverance. It inspires the listener to trust and have faith in themselves and to keep on pushing through even when times get tough.

Stranded now I ran out of gas so quick
I've reached a point where I can't move forward anymore because I forgot where I got my strength
Driving along it felt so smooth
Everything was going well at first
And I was singing a song
I was happy and carefree
With the windows rolled down
I was letting the wind in and enjoying the ride
And the wind blowing through my hair
Everything felt perfect and I felt free
At the foot of a mountain in a desert somewhere
I've reached a point of no return, with no clear path forward
I slipped out of the car and looked around and despair
I felt lost and hopeless
And don't know if I was supposed to be here at all
I questioned my purpose and my existence
I climbed up ahead and found somewhere
I moved forward, trying to find a way out
To lay my head for the night
I found a place to rest and take a break
And then I heard you say
Someone spoke to me and gave me hope
Years ago I was just a boy
I was once young and naΓ―ve
I needed to let go of all I was
I had to shed my old self in order to grow
And now I find myself being put back together again
I've started to heal and rebuild myself
I don't know how I got here I was lost and on my own
I was lost and didn't know where I was going
I don't know where I came from I just want to go home
I longed for a place of comfort and familiarity
It's always been easy
It's been a simple journey so far
But I didn't say it wasn't hard
That doesn't mean it wasn't difficult
And if you trust me and believe
Having faith is key
That I brought you this far
Look how far you've come
And I said that this would be never ending
I promised it would be a long journey
But I didn't say I wouldn't bring you to you end
I'll be with you until the end
I didn't say it wouldn't cost you everything
It will come at a price
But you've had me since the start
But remember that you've had me all along
