Mounting Her
Firkin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope to be, bride to be
Hither I came to ye
Smile for me, care for me
Your soil I’ll plough to ye
My soul I’ll sow to thee
Come here, I long t thee
Aye.
Pray, give thy hand to me
I’ll give my heart to thee
Smile for me, care for me
I’m thine slave madam.
Your soil I’ll plough to ye
My soul I’ll sow to thee
Let me come closer, as close as can be.
Let me come closer, as close as can be.
Looking in her misty eyes
I felt me flesh a-throbbing
To get high on her, on her high
To mount her from the front
Or mount her from behind
And get to touch her and provoke her sigh aye, aye!
Finally I succeeded getting
In between her things
In the moor and mire, moor and mire
Squelching in her mud I
I licked my way uphill
And slipped onto her slimy peak
To catch my weakened breath
Climbing climbing
On her spine
Inch by inch I feel her mine
On her lap I take my time
As her moisture floods my underwear
And to the skin I’m drenched..
Looking in her misty eyes
I felt me flesh a-throbbing
To get high on her, on her high
To mount her from the front
Or mount her from behind
And get to touch her and provoke her sigh aye, aye!
Finnaly I succeeded getting
In between her things
In the moor and mire, moor and mire
Squelching in her mud I
I licked my way uphill
And slipped onto her slimy peak
To catch my weakened breath
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Breathe, sigh, scream with the wind
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Mwelrea you wench
You thing around me clench
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Breathe, sigh, scream with the wind
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Mwelrea you wench
You thing around me clench
Mwelrea, Mwelrea
Mounting you took all my strenght
Mwelrea, Mwelrea
Your dripping mud is on my hands.
Mwelrea, Mwelrea
You drenched me in your slimy pool
And on your breast a rainbow calls me
Rule me, mount me, rule me, rule, rule, rule!
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Breathe, sigh, scream with the wind
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Mwelrea you wench
You thing around me clench
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Breathe, sigh, scream with the wind
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Mwelrea you wench
You thing around me clench
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Breathe, sigh, scream with the wind
Breathe, breathe
Blow my mind
Mwelrea you wench
You thing around me clench
The lyrics of Firkin's song "Mounting Her" can be interpreted in a metaphorical and playful manner. The song uses imagery and language that may appear explicit but is actually describing a passionate and intense connection with nature, specifically with a land or a mountain.
In the first verse, the singer expresses their devotion and longing for this land or mountain. They want to become one with it and sow their soul into it. This can be seen as a metaphor for a deep spiritual connection with nature and a desire to care for and be nurtured by it.
The second verse continues this theme of intimacy and closeness. The singer wants to establish a deep connection with the land or mountain, offering their hand and heart in return for care and affection. The repetition of the line "Let me come closer, as close as can be" signifies the singer's desire for a profound bond with nature.
The third verse takes a more sensual turn, utilizing vivid imagery to describe the intense physical experience of being in this land or mountain. The lines "To mount her from the front, or mount her from behind" can be seen as a metaphorical way of saying to engage with nature in different ways, whether through exploration or contemplation. The imagery of "licking" and "slimy peak" suggests a primal connection and a willingness to surrender to the raw power of nature.
The final verse brings together the themes of physical and emotional connection, referencing the pleasure and ecstasy of being completely immersed in nature. The repetition of the line "Breathe, breathe, blow my mind" conveys the overwhelming sensation of being consumed by the beauty and power of the land or mountain. The use of the name "Mwelrea" gives the song a specific sense of place, evoking a sense of reverence and belonging.
Overall, "Mounting Her" can be seen as a celebration of the deep connection and passionate relationship between humans and nature. It highlights the transformative and exhilarating experience of being in harmony with the natural world.

Looking in her misty eyes
Observing the gentle and dreamy expression in her eyes
I felt me flesh a-throbbing
I felt a strong physical excitement and arousal
To get high on her, on her high
To experience intense pleasure and excitement from being with her
To mount her from the front
To engage in a sexual encounter with her from a face-to-face position
Or mount her from behind
Or engage in a sexual encounter with her from a position where I am behind her
And get to touch her and provoke her sigh aye, aye!
And to stimulate her to the point where she moans or sighs in pleasure
Finally I succeeded getting
Eventually, I was able to achieve
In between her things
In between her thighs
In the moor and mire, moor and mire
In the wet and muddy area
Squelching in her mud I
Moving through her wet and muddy environment
I licked my way uphill
I metaphorically enjoyed the journey towards reaching a climax
And slipped onto her slimy peak
And reached the peak of pleasure with her
To catch my weakened breath
To catch my breath after experiencing physical exhaustion
Climbing climbing
Continually progressing upwards
On her spine
On her body, particularly her back
Inch by inch I feel her mine
Gradually, I feel a sense of ownership and possession over her
On her lap I take my time
I leisurely enjoy the pleasure and intimacy with her
As her moisture floods my underwear
As her arousal and wetness brings pleasure to me
And to the skin I’m drenched..
I am completely soaked and wet
Breathe, breathe
Take a deep breath
Blow my mind
Astonish and excite me
Breathe, sigh, scream with the wind
Express yourself passionately and loudly
Mwelrea you wench
Mwelrea, a term of endearment for the woman
You thing around me clench
You tightly hold onto me
Mwelrea, Mwelrea
Addressing and emphasizing the woman's name
Mounting you took all my strength
Engaging with you sexually required all my physical energy
Your dripping mud is on my hands.
Your wetness and arousal has affected me
You drenched me in your slimy pool
You have completely soaked me with your wetness
And on your breast a rainbow calls me
A colorful and beautiful image on your breast entices me
Rule me, mount me, rule me, rule, rule, rule!
Take control of me, engage with me sexually, dominate me
