Avalanche
The New Dimensions Lyrics

Getting sick of starting over
Bored of having the same argument repeatedly

On the same
The argument being referred to is the same one that keeps happening again and again

Argument
The source of the frustration and boredom being felt

We could sit around and talk it over
Discussing the problem is one possible solution

Or take a trip
Another solution is to physically remove oneself from the situation

To clear our minds
The purpose of the trip is to bring clarity of thought

At the entrance of Mount Wilson
The specific destination chosen for this trip

It's feeling like the right decision
The feeling of intuition that the decision to take the trip is correct

Some times you go outside
Leaving one's normal environment can bring a different perspective

To get inside
Through external exploration, one can gain insight into oneself

If I could only hear you say
The desire to hear reassuring words from a loved one

That you are down but you're ok
Feeling saddened but ultimately resilient

We should have said the things we felt
Regretting not expressing emotions earlier

Is it too late
Wondering if the opportunity for honest communication has passed

Park the car and hit the trail
Getting out of the car to hike up the mountain

The air feels sharp
The environment is bracing and invigorating

On our skin
Sensations experienced by the body when exposed to the elements

We'll see the snow as it is melting
Witnessing the process of transformation and change

Spring must be on
The transition from winter to spring is happening

Her way again
The cyclical nature of the seasons

We didn't see her coming for us
Being caught off guard by a sudden event

I guess that's mother nature's way
Explaining the unpredictability of nature

Trapped beneath the wall of snow
Being physically stuck and unable to move

You're only ten
The distance between two people when they are emotionally distant

Feet away
Reinforcing the idea of emotional distance

Silence has a way of speaking
The idea that not saying anything can also convey a message

Only now
After the fact, the true meaning of past events is revealed

Do we understand
The realization of the lessons learned from the experience

If I could only hear you say
Repeating the desire for reassurance

That you are down but you're ok
Reiterating the internal struggle of feeling sad but ultimately strong

We should have said the things we felt
Repeating the regret of not communicating well enough

Is it too late
The ongoing uncertainty about the possibility of improving communication and connection
