Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the light of day
You know we always could
The mountains say, the mountains say
And we could run away
Before the light of day
You know we always could
The mountains say, the mountains say
The lyrics of DOLKINS's Mountains are suggestive of two individuals who are contemplating running away. The "mountains say" implies that they are searching for reassurance or guidance from the mountains. Mountains can be seen as a symbol of strength and resilience, and the lyrics suggest that the individuals are seeking the courage to make a difficult decision. The phrase "before the light of day" suggests that they plan to leave under the cover of darkness, further highlighting the idea of a clandestine escape.
The repetition of "you know we always could" may suggest that these thoughts of escaping are not new, but have been simmering for a while.

The ambiguity of the lyrics allows for interpretation, and listeners can relate to the emotions evoked by the song in their own way.
Line by Line Meaning
And we could run away
We have the option to escape from our current situation
Before the light of day
We could do this secretly, during the night
You know we always could
This isn't the first time we've considered running away
The mountains say, the mountains say
Nature seems to be telling us to leave and start anew
And we could run away
Again, we have this option to leave
Before the light of day
Once more, we would do this in secret
You know we always could
Our ability to escape has never been in question
The mountains say, the mountains say
Nature is a constant reminder that we're not tied down here
