Mt. Si Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

我不是一定要你回来 只是当又一个人看海
回头才发现你不在 留下我迂回的徘徊
我不是一定要你回来 只是当又把回忆翻开
除了你之外的空白 还有谁能来教我爱




Overall Meaning

These lyrics, translated from Mandarin Chinese to English, are from Mt. Si's song "1." The song expresses a sense of longing and reflection after a relationship has ended. The first two lines communicate that the singer doesn't necessarily want the person they are addressing to come back, but rather, they find themselves once again alone by the sea and realizing that the person is no longer there with them. This creates a feeling of aimless wandering and indecision for the singer.


The following two lines reinforce the sentiment that the singer doesn't necessarily want the person to return, but their absence leaves them contemplating and searching through memories. The reference to "空白" (kōng bái) meaning "blank space" suggests that the singer is grappling with the void left behind by the person's departure and questioning who else can teach them about love apart from that individual.


Overall, the lyrics convey a complex mix of emotions, including longing, sadness, and a yearning for understanding and love. The repetitive phrase "我不是一定要你回来" (wǒ bù shì yī dìng yào nǐ huí lái) meaning "I don't necessarily want you to come back" emphasizes the singer's conflicted feelings and their attempt to reconcile with the absence of their partner.


Line by Line Meaning

我不是一定要你回来 只是当又一个人看海
I don't necessarily need you to come back, it's just that when I am alone and staring at the sea


回头才发现你不在 留下我迂回的徘徊
Only when I turn around do I realize that you're not here, leaving me lost and wandering


我不是一定要你回来 只是当又把回忆翻开
I don't necessarily need you to come back, it's just that when I open up memories again


除了你之外的空白 还有谁能来教我爱
Apart from you, who else can come and teach me about love in the emptiness that remains

Mt. Si (North Bend, WA) was also seen in several episodes of "Northern Exposure", exteriors were filmed in Rosalyn, interior sets were in Redmond WA.

A telephoto lens used in this video makes Mount Rainier look closer to Seattle than it actually is. It is about sixty miles away.

@Acc0rd79

I went on a cruise out of Seattle before and went on top of the Space needle, it really is pretty up there with that monster mountain in the background!

@stonew1927

Yea if you don't mind dreary cold weather 3/4 of the time. When I visited most people seemed depressed lol

@heyya7464

Stone W yeah I don’t mind cold weather. I never take warm showers, I don’t even turn on heater or fire place , I bath in a tub filled with ice and the only weather I can’t tolerate is extreme cold weather where old people die but I still survive cause that’s when I turn on the heater . And I can’t tolerate heat , 24c + is hell to me . And I only need very little sunlight . And I don’t look at people on purpose unless they’re my family ,friends ,colleague or somebody famous that I like . So yeah I don’t bother about others on the road looking depressed . I’m Elsa’s estranged brother , that bitch took all my ice ! , and now heckling me by saying ‘let it go ,let it go ‘

@stonew1927

Hahaha!!! I like your darkness LOL I happen to live in a place that is even rainier than Seattle: Hilo, HI. So far we are about 60" for the year on our way to yearly avg. of 130". We've seen about 4 hours of sunshine in the last 4 weeks, all last Sunday. Every other day has been rainy or overcast. I too love the darker winter hours and enjoy the rain, but I'm starting to get tired of it. A good week of warmth an sun would be good! Unlike you I hate the cold! That's why I live in exile in the middle of the Pacific!

@obeyconformtoday829
