mountain
Nick and The Sun Machine Lyrics

Yeah, ooh
A simple vocalization to set the tone of the song.

Caught up in specialness
Trapped in the idea of being exceptional.

I wish you could see
A desire for others to understand a different perspective.

That we are kings of bliss
We are masters of our own happiness.

Begging for misery
Actively seeking out sources of pain in life.

We get lost in comparison
We become confused when comparing ourselves to others.

Looking outside of me
Turning to external sources instead of focusing inward.

I see this world is unraveling
Observing the world's problems and recognizing them as grave.

I wonder, who could we be
A question about a potential solution to the world's problems.

Oh, I don't want to see us lose
Not wanting to waste more time.

Any more time
Referring back to the previous line.

This moment is a mountain to move
This point in time is crucial and requires effort to overcome its difficulties.

Yeah yeah, so move it aside
An upbeat call for action.

Wake up now
A prompt to become aware of one's surroundings.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

'Cause Mary Anne is a healer
Introducing a character.

She had pain on her mind
She was hurting emotionally.

She said, "Your money's your medicine"
Encouraging self-sufficiency as a path to healing.

But she's sick all the time
Despite her advice, Mary Anne couldn't cure herself of her own pain.

'Cause you got lost in comparison
An explanation for Mary Anne's troubles that echoes earlier lyrics.

Always pretending you knew
Trying to act knowledgeable even when proven to be unknowledgeable.

When everything you were looking for
What was being searched for in life.

Was already looking at you
The solution to life's problems was already within yourself.

Give it to me, realness
Asking for others to be genuine and authentic.

Give it to me, stillness
Desiring peace and quiet from a chaotic world.

Give you some forgiveness
Offering forgiveness to others.

Give it to me, wholeness
Asking for complete well-being - physical, mental, and emotional.

I was looking through
Realizing that the truth was already in front of me but not being recognized.

Wake up now
Enduring message of the song to become self-aware.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

Wake up now
Repeated for emphasis.

Wake up now
Enduring message of the song to become self-aware.
