Everest
Johari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So insignificant.
Staring into the sky.
Wakening to the concept of how small I am.
A sunlight flash on our timeline.
(inaudible)
It is so hopeless for us to know.
To find a purpose in this ... world.
We spend our whole lives.
Our whole time.
Miss one light to be waiting.
To be waiting.
To be waiting!
For a purpose to be!
A destiny!
A burning desire!
To believe it's something more,
But a destiny,
We became who We are!
It is so hopeless for us to know.
To find a purpose in this ... world.
We spend our whole lives.
Our whole time.
Miss one light to be waiting.
And I promise Myself that I,
Would never know,
What it feels like to live,
In a wasted existence!
And I told You I never lie,
About who I am.
Now I can't even trust Myself.
Who am I now?
And I promise They never die.
Something left to give.
Had to be foolish to think I,
Could spend this whole life.
My whole time.




Miss one light,
I need ...

This ENTIRE TIME....... I had no idea Bluedrake was in a band......... and I found my new band man. This hits SO GOOD!

TheSkyline35

So good, the smooth voice of bluedrake make the song soft, where Aaron is hard, and it's a really good !

Johari

+TheSkyline35 thank you very much. We're happy you recognize and like the vocal balance

Decoitify

I don't want to be rude or so, but I feel like Connor singing alone gives less energy to the song, alothough, it sounds great when both singers sing togerther, it has Connor's softness and Aaron's energy, which, in my opinion feels better.
The song is great though :)

DonJohn87_YT

+Decoitify I love the contrast, keeps it interesting :)
