Epiphany
Passafire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm about to leave all my worries behind
On top of this mountain mountain
And I lay my head into the snow
Watching the mountain stream flow
Cuts through the rock like a diamond
Gravity pulls down the work of a cloud
Unwinding days of preparation
Faith that lies ahead
For a cloud with a peak in it's path
You can never look back
Once it's all gone
And say so long
To all that's lost
What's lost
I lay my mind on the line
Like the worker in the dead of night
Push my conscience to the edge of the table
If I'm able to suggest
Let me hold the cable and
Work my way back down
From this place I can see the town below
Anybody knows that it's about to snow
The whole night through
In a way, I feel like a could passing over a mountain
I'm about to leave all my worries behind
On top of this mountain mountain
Passafire's song Epiphany depicts the journey of self-discovery and reconnection with nature. The first verse has the singer comparing themselves to a cloud, seemingly light and ephemeral, passing over a mountain. The imagery of laying their head into the snow and watching the mountain stream flow invokes a sense of deep calm and reflection. The second verse speaks about the preparation and hard work that goes into creating something bigger, perhaps alluding to the intricacy of nature itself. The lines "Raise a generation to understand / Faith that lies ahead" suggest a need for perseverance and foresight.
The chorus talks about leaving all worries behind and not looking back, almost as though taking the first step to a new beginning. The third verse has the singer pushing themselves to the edge of their limits, willing to hold on to their beliefs and values as they navigate the changes in their life. The final lines of the song, "In a way, I feel like a cloud passing over a mountain / I'm about to leave all my worries behind / On top of this mountain mountain" gives a sense of completion or closure, a feeling of achieving something significant.
