Mountain
Motorpsycho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alright, so maybe I dreamed it all
But the blisters on my skin they tell me different
Bad dreams-sugarcoated tabs from hell
Drowning in the wishing well I save for you

[Chorus]
Stone cold sweat
I bleed to death every night
Something here ain't exactly right
Someone turn the wheel before I drown
Beneath your mountain

Oh, it's so strange
Sometimes I see these things
That don't exist
Beyond my dreams
Wake up,with nerves sprayed on the wall
There's a saint across the hall,but she's not at home now
Empty-too full of fear to fill up
Too far gone to stop, too scared to move





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The Motorpsycho song "Mountain" is a haunting and eerie piece about being trapped and drowning under the weight of someone else's expectations. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being submerged in a situation that is beyond one's control. The opening lines of the song suggest a sense of confusion and disorientation, as though the singer is not sure if their experiences are real or just a dream. However, the "blisters on [their] skin" serve as a tangible and painful reminder that their nightmares are, in fact, real.


The chorus of the song paints a vivid picture of the singer's struggle. They are bleeding to death metaphorically and feel like something is fundamentally wrong with their situation. They are crying out for someone to "turn the wheel," to take control and help them avoid drowning beneath the weight of the "mountain" that is bearing down on them.


The final verse of the song underscores the feeling of helplessness and desperation that permeates "Mountain." The singer sees "things that don't exist" and is overcome by fear and anxiety. They are trapped in a place that is too empty to offer solace and too full of fear to allow them to move forward.


Overall, the lyrics to "Mountain" paint a vivid portrait of a person who is struggling to break free from the weight of someone else's expectations. The song is a powerful exploration of the human psyche and the ways that we can become trapped and overwhelmed by situations that we can't control.
