Mountains
J. Slim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh
You took me to your mountain
Just for love Lord mmm
I was thirsty
Without you father
And i was angry
Full of hunger
You released me
from the enemy
I was lonely
Until you took me to your
Holy Mountain
Is Where you took me
You changed my heart and my mind
Now i am set free
Forty days forty nights
In the wilderness
You changed my heart and my mind
Now i am set free
When you spoke to me Jesus
Everything inside of me changed
I knew it was you lord
Cause what I felt
I never felt before
I remember I was empty
And now I've got a testimony
You took away the chains lord
Now I am free on your
Holy mountain is
Where you took me
You changed my heart and my mind
Now I am set free
Forty days forty nights
In the wilderness
You changed my heart and my mind
Now I am set free
It was a battle of the good
And the evil
Day and night
Inside of me
It was the Holy Spirit who fought for me
Then Jesus got the victory
It was a battle of the good
And the evil
Day and night
Inside of me
It was Jesus Christ who got the victory
When he died on a cross in Calvary
Holy mountain
Is where you took me
You changed my heart and my mind
Now I'm set free
Forty days forty nights
In the wilderness




You changed my heart and mind
Now I'm set free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to J. Slim's song "Mountains" present a metaphorical comparison between love and the physical feat of climbing mountains. The chorus expresses the singer's continuous struggles in trying to attain his love, as he keeps climbing up and falling down. The image of climbing mountains symbolizes the challenges and obstacles one has to face in a relationship. It also represents the arduous nature of human emotions, which can change and fluctuate like the terrain of a mountain.


When the singer says "It's happening again, the lack of oxygen," it signifies that he is tired and drained from constantly trying to scale the heights of his love. The line "From up here it seems so small, no consequence at all," implies that when the singer views the relationship from a distance, it no longer holds the same significance, and the risks he took seem inconsequential. But as he gets closer to the "precipice" or the edge of the mountain, he realizes the gravity of the relationship and the danger of falling.


The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation as the singer continues to seek love. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the cyclical and never-ending nature of the singer's struggles.


Line by Line Meaning

Love like mountains
Comparing love to mountains, implying that love is vast and hard to conquer


I keep on climbing up and falling down
Continuously striving for love, but encountering setbacks and defeats


It's happening again
Describing a recurring scenario


The lack of oxygen
Feeling suffocated and out of breath


As I approach the precipice
As the end draws near


But I can't get over this
But unable to move on from love


From up here it seems so small
A change in perspective makes love seem insignificant


No consequence at all
With no real impact or value


And I keep thinking I'll reach the top
Consistently aiming to reach the peak of love


Til I hit the edge and drop
But always falling short and experiencing disappointment


Every last time's like hitting rewind
Replaying past experiences over and over again


Reset my mind and lately I find that
Attempting to start fresh, but still struggling


Rest my mind, still I find this
Trying to relax, yet still facing the same challenges as before


[Chorus]
Repeating the comparison of love to mountains and the struggle to conquer it
