Mountains
Golden Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We settle down
Ooh
Feeling so clearly
We are still alive
It's alright
Tomorrow has life left to find
Wake up with brand new eyes
We're only a moment behind
...
Now it's done
Feeling so weary
We are landslides
Ooh
Falling so slowly
Meant to break apart
It's alright
Tomorrow has life left to find
Wake up with brand new eyes
Seems like we're lost in our minds
...
Where do we run to get away?
Where do we hide to escape?
I know behind me is keeping bay
My heart is fighting my head
It's alright
(My heart is fighting my head)
Tomorrow has life left to find
(My heart is fighting my head)
Wake up with brand new eyes
(My heart is fighting my head)
Seems like we're lost in our minds
(My heart is fighting my head)
We're only a moment behind
The song "Mountains" by Golden Youth delves into the idea of exploring life through different experiences, both good and bad. The opening lines, "As we run over hills, we settle down," indicate a journey to explore the beauty of nature while also acknowledging the need to slow down and appreciate the surroundings. The lines that follow, "Feeling so clearly, we are still alive, it's alright," suggest that the experience is invigorating and rejuvenating, and there is a sense of relief that comes with being alive.
The song then takes a turn; the lyrics change, and the tone becomes more solemn. The lines "Feeling so weary, we are landslides, ooh, falling so slowly, meant to break apart," indicate the wear and tear that comes with life. The lyrics allude to the idea that, just like a landslide or a crumbling mountain, humans too are prone to breaking apart with time.
The subsequent lines, "Where do we run to get away? Where do we hide to escape?" paint a picture of confusion and an unclear path to follow. The song concludes with "We're only a moment behind," signifying that we are never too late to pick ourselves up, no matter where we go. Additionally, the lines "My heart is fighting my head" indicate the internal conflict that we face, between rational decision-making and emotional turmoil in our hearts, that often holds us back.
Overall, "Mountains" is a song that explores the beauty of life, the struggles, and the importance of mindfulness and self-reflection.

[Verse 1]
In the morning time when I see your eyes, ooo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Be my ocean faith, no one can replace you-uo-uo-uo
Light is creeping in, both our legs are hid, ooo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Want that day to come, with a morning sun, ooo-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
[Chorus]
Where's your heart gone?
What's your head done?
Keep your love close to you
Where's your heart gone?
Has your head won?
Keep your love close to you
[Verse 2]
I feel that haze roll in, when I touch your skin, ooo-ooh-ooh-ooh
You may not want me to, I still belong to you-uo-uo-uo, oh

My sim and her husband danced to this song when they first got married and moved into their home (I didn’t make them do this, they danced to it themselves) and it’s been my fav song for them ever since! I’ve been playing long lifespan. Her husband recently just died of old age and she was listening to this 😭 Yeah, I cried.
