The Hill
Hay and Ellis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on everybody gather round
I have something to say about
Those things affecting this head
Filling-filling with negatives
Just about all the time
Not much room left in your mind
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
We have some hills to climb
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
We have some hills to climb
You can feel it happening
It happens all the time
You start feeling proud and good
When you hear that voice inside
Saying you can’t you shouldn’t it’s trash give up
It’s a war in your mind
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
We have some hills to climb
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
We have some hills to climb
Are you losing
Are you losing the fight
Come on everybody gather round
I have something to say about
Those things affecting this head
Spears of anxiety cannons of doubt
Perhaps it’s time
Perhaps it’s time
Spears of anxiety cannons of doubt
To face and fight
That room in mind
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
We have some hills to climb
Come on everybody
Come on everybody
We have some hills to climb
Come on everybody
Come on everybody




Come on everybody
Come on everybody

Overall Meaning

The Hill, by Hay and Ellis, is a song about mental toughness and perseverance. The singer invites everyone to come together and talk about the negative thoughts that occupy their minds, the voices that tell them they can't or shouldn't do something. As they acknowledge those negative thoughts, they encourage each other to keep on climbing the hills, to keep on fighting until they reach the top.


The lyrics suggest that everyone experiences doubt and anxiety, but that these feelings must be acknowledged and fought against. The singers use the metaphor of a hill to describe the struggle that one must go through to overcome these negative thoughts. In order to reach the summit, one must put in the effort and be persistent, despite the obstacles that come their way. The repetition of the chorus, "Come on everybody, we have some hills to climb," reinforces the message that this is a collective struggle, and that everyone must work together to overcome their mental battles.


Overall, The Hill is an uplifting song that encourages listeners to be strong and persevere in the face of adversity. It suggests that everyone has their own battles to fight, but that by coming together and supporting each other, they can overcome any obstacle.
