Biggest Mountain
Inspiral Carpets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my youth
Had someone told me
What would come
And how things would be
Then those days would've been a much brighter place
But the doubt of not knowing
Leaves a stigma that is hard to shake
To celebrate our bond
[I'm gonna build a monument]
I'll cut the stone today
[On the side of a mountain]
Where all my doubts once lay
[The biggest mountain]
One thing I can guarantee
Is what you've done means everything to me

Waking Monday
Reading Saturday's news
In a town
I've not seen before
Curious
Small and ugly room
I can't find the door and everywhere
There's faces smiling at me

To celebrate our bond
[I'm gonna build a monument]
I'll cut the stone today
[On the side of a mountain]
Where all my doubts once lay
[The biggest mountain]
One thing I can guarantee
Is what you've done means everything to me

In my youth
Had someone told me
What would come
And how things would be
Then those days would've been a much brighter place
And the doubts of not knowing
Leaves a stigma that is hard to shake

To celebrate our bond
[I'm gonna build a monument]
I'll cut the stone today
[On the side of a mountain]
Where all my doubts once lay
[The biggest mountain]
One thing I can guarantee
Is what you've done means everything to me

To celebrate our bond
[I'm gonna build a monument]
I'll cut the stone today
[On the side of a mountain]
Where all my doubts once lay
[The biggest mountain]
One thing I can guarantee
Is what you've done means everything to me

To celebrate our bond
[I'm gonna build a monument]
I'll cut the stone today
[On the side of a mountain]
Where all my doubts once lay
[The biggest mountain]
One thing I can guarantee
Is what you've done means everything to me





Everything to me
Everything to me

Line by Line Meaning

In my youth
As a young person


Had someone told me
If someone had warned me


What would come
What the future held


And how things would be
How it will be


Then those days would've been a much brighter place
Knowing the future would have made life happier


But the doubt of not knowing
Uncertainty and lack of knowledge


Leaves a stigma that is hard to shake
It leaves a negative impact that's difficult to overcome


To celebrate our bond
As a way to honour our connection


[I'm gonna build a monument]
I will create something significant


I'll cut the stone today
I'll start working on it immediately


[On the side of a mountain]
Somewhere visible and grand


Where all my doubts once lay
Where I used to have uncertainties


[The biggest mountain]
The most substantial and impressive feat


One thing I can guarantee
The only thing I'm sure about


Is what you've done means everything to me
Your actions matter a lot to me


Waking Monday
Starting the week off


Reading Saturday's news
Reading old news that is no longer relevant


In a town
A new and unfamiliar place


I've not seen before
I'm visiting for the first time


Curious
Feeling inquisitive


Small and ugly room
An unattractive and cramped space


I can't find the door and everywhere
I'm disoriented and lost


There's faces smiling at me
People are welcoming me with friendly faces


Everything to me
Means the world to me
