Everest
Nick Kingswell Lyrics

Somehow we've taken every precious breath
We've taken everything in life for granted and failed to appreciate the small things.

And replaced it with nothing
We've lost sight of what truly matters in life and replaced it with meaningless things.

We've climbed so high but still we're giving in
Despite all the progress we've made, we're still struggling and giving up.

Oh chivalry, lost on me
The virtues of chivalry and respect for others are no longer important or valued.

We're too far to go
We've gone too far down a certain path to turn back now.

Short sight and long haul
We're only focused on short-term goals and not looking at the big picture in the long run.

Oh look, ageless
Despite the passage of time, some things remain unchanged and timeless.

Heavy and weightless
We're weighed down by heavy burdens and responsibilities, but at the same time, we feel weightless and free.

Love can't change this
Love alone cannot fix all of our problems and challenges.

Colour in the faded
We need to bring new vibrancy and life into things that have become dull and colorless.

For all we know, there's no tomorrow
We cannot predict the future or take anything for granted, so we must live in the present.

Hold me like you'll never see the sun again
Hold me tightly and cherish every moment we have together, as if it were our last.

Or feel love again
Without love, life loses its meaning and purpose.

One more step, we're looking down the precipice
We're on the brink of a major decision or change that could have dire consequences.

Free fallin' Everest
We're descending into chaos and uncertainty, like falling down a mountain.

Don't dare to dream, we're only heaven-sent
We're not entitled to everything we want or dream of, and we must work hard for what we get.

No significance to this
Without passion or purpose, life becomes empty and meaningless.

When life has proven to be hesitant
Life is uncertain and unpredictable, so we must be patient and resilient in the face of adversity.

No decadence, lost on me
We're not impressed by material wealth or superficial pleasures.

Love can change this
With love and compassion, we can overcome all obstacles and challenges.

Only we know how far we fall
Only we can truly understand our own struggles and hardships.

Time is a lover sent to catch each other
Time is precious and fleeting, so we must use it wisely and appreciate every moment we have.

Hold me
Hold me close and never let me go.
