Mountains
Natalie Claro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Send me on a
Foreign mountain ride
So I can escape all of
The cruel and lies
But the only way to live a real true life
Is to live up in the mountains
Or live up in their trees oh
You can avoid it as much as you like
You can eat paper you can eat ice
But when you push away the fake
You live a small life in a case

Try to be angry as much as you want
But life didn't change cause you found out
That fresh means old and old means fine
So you'll throw it out and they'll make more dimes

Oh whoah oh whoah
Oh oh whoah oh
You are stuck and it's a shame
It's not like signs will make it change
Oh whoa oh whoah
Oh oh whoah oh
You're life is good
We can't complain

But you can send me on a

Foreign mountain ride
So I can escape all of
The cruel and lies
But the only way to live a real true life
Is to live up in the mountains
Or live up in their trees

Everyone you know
Believes what they hear
Where the sun still shines and birds sing
But lives are still hurt
But I will never leave cause what can you do
You can't live up in the mountains or
Live up in the trees

There are people needing pills
Around the world
Ones that help ya while they kill you
So you'll give more bills
Stop skipping through the commercials
And you'll get the kicks
Why you got depression from
A stupid "pain in your neck"

Oh whoah oh whoah
Oh oh whoah oh
You are stuck it's a shame
It's not like signs will make it change

Oh whoa oh whoah
Oh oh whoah oh
You're life is good
But we complain

Oh

Oh whoah oh whoah
Oh oh whoah oh
You are stuck it's a shame
It's not like signs will make it change
Oh whoa oh whoah
Oh oh whoah oh
You're life is good
We can't complain

But you can send me on a

Send me on a
Foreign mountain ride
So I can escape all of
The cruel and lies
But the only way to live a real true life
Is to live up in the mountains
Or live up in their trees

Every one you know
Believes what they hear
Where the sun still shines and birds sing
But lives are still hurt
But I will never leave
Cause what can you do
You can't live up in the mountains or
Live up in the trees

The song reflects on the madness of living in an age where everything is fake, from our desire for instant gratification to the illusions of consumerism.

Throughout the song, Claro urges us to embrace the reality of life, even when it seems harsh and intimidating. While it may seem like we can escape to the mountains, we must ultimately confront the present moment and learn to live within it. Despite the superficial distractions of modern life, Claro stresses that we can all find solace through embracing the truth that lies within us, even if itโ€™s not always easy.


In conclusion, โ€œMountainsโ€ is a beautiful song that speaks to the heart of the human condition, capturing the struggles we all face when trying to navigate this difficult and complex world.
