Mogli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The heat takes my breath away
Melting snow in crystal veins
With wind comes the rain
Lost in the sweep of the horizon
Water so deep mountains are rising
No one but you by my side through lows and highs
Frozen river skeletons
Tears streaks to o'rcast shores
Blinded by the midnight sun, I run
Lost in the sweep of the horizon
Water so deep mountains are rising
No one but you by my side through lows and highs
Lost in the sweep of the horizon
I'm on top of the world
And then the wolves howl
And then the wolves howl
And then the wolves howl
The wolves
On top of the world
They howl
In the song Alaska by Mogli, the singer talks about a journey through the mountains and valleys of Alaska with someone she cherishes. She describes the drastic weather shifts from intense heat, causing breathlessness, to melting snow and crystal veins, and finally rain brought by the wind. As they explore together, she acknowledges the beauty of the horizon, and the deep plunge of the water, with mountains rising in the backdrop. There seems to be a powerful bond between the two, as they navigate the highs and lows of the journey with just each other to rely on.
Amidst the stunning Alaskan vistas, she mentions a frozen river, and the tears that the journey brings. The singer shares that she is blinded by the midnight sun, but runs with abandon, unaffected by it. The chorus repeats the powerful lyrics that convey their unity, lost in the sweep of the horizon, with no one but the other by their side, through highs and lows. After describing the beauty of the world and sharing their moments of togetherness, the song takes an unexpected turn in the bridge. She suddenly hears the howling of wolves on top of the world. The howls are a reminder of the harsh and unpredictable nature of the world, even in the moments of glory.

All the seasons in one day
Experiencing various climatic conditions in a day
The heat takes my breath away
Feeling overwhelmed by the intense heat
Melting snow in crystal veins
The process of snow melting and flowing like crystal through veins
With wind comes the rain
It starts to rain when wind blows
Lost in the sweep of the horizon
Getting lost while staring at the vast horizon
Water so deep mountains are rising
Seeing deep water and mountain ranges in the distance
No one but you by my side through lows and highs
Having only one companion throughout the ups and downs of life
Frozen river skeletons
Frozen rivers resembling skeletons
Tears streaks to o'rcast shores
Crying with tears flowing to distant shores
Blinded by the midnight sun, I run
Feeling disoriented and running away from the brightness of the midnight sun
I'm on top of the world
Feeling on top of the world, successful and happy
And then the wolves howl
Hearing the sound of wolves howling
The wolves
Reference to the wolves in the previous line
On top of the world
Feeling on top of the world, successful and happy
They howl
The wolves continue to howl

Water so deep, mountains are rising
No one but you by my side, through lows and highs
Lost in the sweep of the horizon

Tear streak to orca's shores
Blinded by the midnight sun, I run

Water so deep, mountains are rising
No one but you by my side, through lows and highs
Lost in the sweep of the horizon
I'm on top of the world
And then the wolves howl
And then the wolves howl
And then the wolves howl
The wolves
On top of the world
They howl
