Top Of The Hill
The Conduits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're rolling, rolling in the grass
And we laugh to ourselves
While kicking flowers from the ground
And your body's so warm
You're crumbling like powder in my arms
As pillars of smoke are filling, falling from the sky
All day in the sun
And we send our love
As our evening, evening descends

I'm tired of the hills
I'm exhausted from constantly climbing uphill in life
We're rolling, rolling in the grass
We're indulging in carefree moments and enjoying life
And we laugh to ourselves
We're finding joy in the present moment and cherishing it
While kicking flowers from the ground
We're playfully engaging with our surroundings
And your body's so warm
I feel comforted by your physical presence
You're crumbling like powder in my arms
I feel your vulnerability and fragility, and I want to protect you
As pillars of smoke are filling, falling from the sky
There is chaos and destruction happening around us
All day in the sun
We've been experiencing joy and happiness all day
Is coming, coming to an end
Our moment of joy is ending and we're reluctantly accepting it
And we send our love
We express our affection towards each other
As our evening, evening descends
As the day comes to an end, we hold on to our happy memories

Not sure why but I find this song so deep, so touching! Saw the film Electric Children and fell in love with both the film and this song!
