The Hill
Snowmine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crosslegged
When my leg it melted off.
It sank into the dirt,
But that's okay, cuz I did not need it anyway.
Whoever wants can it eat it for a tasty snack!
I think I ate pretty healthily before the time that i died.
But we will time and time again, to this hill.
I took the clouds for granted
That they'd always be above.
A quilt below the heavens,
An ivory oven glove.
I never missed the trees
And the folks that live in there
I never knew this hill could be the a monster ride that we'd share.
A monster who'd I'd like to know
A friend to ride on home
He could tell us not to be afraid
Cuz we just would waste our time.
And whoever wants can tell us that we can't come back!
And whoever wants can tell us that we can't do that,
But we will.
I took the clouds for granted
That they'd always be above.
A quilt below the heavens,
An ivory oven glove.
I never missed the trees
And the folks that live in there
I never knew this hill could be the a monster ride that we'd share.
The song "The Hill" by Snowmine is a metaphor for our journey through life. The song begins with the singer sitting in the grass, cross-legged, when suddenly his leg melts off and sinks into the dirt. He's not upset about this, however, because he feels he didn't need it anyway. He invites whoever wants to eat his leg for a tasty snack, implying that he's not worried about the loss. He then states that he ate healthily before he died, another indication that he's speaking metaphorically.
In the next verse, the singer talks about how he took clouds for granted, assuming they would always be there above. He describes the clouds as a "quilt below the heavens" and an "ivory oven glove," indicating how much he appreciated them. He explains that he never really missed the trees or the people who lived in them, but he never realized the monster ride that he would share with this hill. The hill is a metaphor for life's journey, with its twists and turns that are both scary and exciting.
The final verse is a plea to the monster, the hill itself, to take them home safely. The singer suggests that the monster is a friend who can reassure them that there's nothing to be afraid of, and that worrying is a waste of time. The singer reiterates that whoever wants can tell them that they can't come back or do what they're doing, but they will continue to do it anyway.

This is what extreme happiness sounds like
@TSP2
Their melody is truly memorizing in every way. And, I love how the message of their songs is somewhat encrypted, but just enough it gets revealed so that you keep coming back and back to decipher the meanings. They are the poster child what is a true artist is.
@nintendoforever1995
Amazing. This album has so many golden nuggets.
@thisissailor
I met this album in 2013, and i still listening everyday!
Cheers from Brazil!!!
