History
Three Days Grace formed in 1992 under the name Groundswell in Norwood, Ontario, Canada. Groundswell's line-up consisted of five members: Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Neil Sanderson (backing vocals, drums), Brad Walst (bass), Phil Crowe (guitar), and Joe Grant (guitar), all of whom were attending high school when the band formed.
In 1997, after being disbanded for two years, the band regrouped in Toronto as a trio consisting of Gontier, Sanderson, and Walst. They also changed their name to "Three Days Grace". According to Gontier, the name stands for the question: If you had three days to change something in your life, could you do it? Once in Toronto, the band became acquainted with local producer Gavin Brown. The band gave him several years of material that they had created since forming, and he "picked out what he called 'the golden nuggets'", according to Gontier. Brown and the band polished the songs into a demo album which they gave to EMI Music Publishing Canada. The record label wanted to hear more material, and with Brown producing, the band created the song, "I Hate Everything About You", which attracted the interest of several record labels. The band was soon signed to Jive Records after being sought out by the company's president.
Three Days Grace (2003 - 2005)
After being signed to Jive, the band moved to Long View Farms, a studio in Boston, to record their debut album. The self-titled album was finished in Woodstock, New York and released on July 22, 2003. It was met with generally favorable reviews. Dave Doray of IGN said of the album, "Mistakes? There's not many." Allmusic reviewer Heather Phares said that on Three Days Grace, "the band's focus and adherence to alt-metal's formulas — coupled with tight songwriting and some unexpectedly pretty choruses — results in a strong tracks that are more memorable than the work of many of their peers". She did criticize the album for its simplicity, concluding, "Three Days Grace are definitely one of the most accessible alt-metal bands of the 2000s; they just need to add some more distinctiveness to their sound."
After acquiring lead guitarist Barry Stock in late 2003, Three Days Grace toured continuously and extensively for almost two years in support of their major label debut. The album peaked at number nine on the Canadian Albums Chart and number 69 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum in the US by the RIAA in December 2004 and double platinum in Canada by the CRIA.
One-X (2006 - 2008)
While touring in support of Three Days Grace, Gontier became depressed and addicted to drugs and alcohol. He went into rehab after the band finished touring, and while there, began writing material for the band's second album. After leaving rehab, he rejoined the band in a cottage in Ontario to finish writing material for the album. In a 2006 interview, Gontier said that the album's material was more personal to him than the band's previous release, being based on the despondence, drug abuse, and rehab that constituted the past two years of his life. The album, titled One-X, was then released on June 13, 2006, and was guitarist Barry Stock's recorded debut.
One-X was met with generally favorable reviews. The Toronto Star complimented the album with a review title of "One CD worth buying..." and focused on its lyrics, saying, "The lyrics really speak out to you, especially if you're going through a tough time in your life." Allmusic reviewer Corey Apar praised the music, saying it "remains catchy despite its lyrical darkness". The album did receive some negative criticism. Apar pointed out that Three Days Grace is "hardly innovative" in their approach to writing music and that "further distinctive qualities" would help the band separate itself "from their alt-metal peers".
One-X peaked at number two on the Canadian album chart and at number five on the Billboard 200, selling 78,000 copies in the US in its first week of release. Its first single, "Animal I Have Become", was Three Days Grace's most successful, becoming 2006's most played rock song in Canada, and the album helped propel Three Days Grace to become the number one rock artist in airplay in the US and Canada in 2007, with Billboard ranking them as the number one rock artist of the year in 2007. One-X was certified platinum by the RIAA in the US on August 30, 2007, and double platinum by the CRIA in Canada in July 2007. Three Days Grace toured the US and Canada throughout the second half of 2006 and all of 2007 in support of One-X. In early 2008, they toured alongside Seether and Breaking Benjamin across the US
Life Starts Now (2009 - 2011)
From March to August 2008, to January to April 2009, Three Days Grace recorded their third album at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Los Angeles, with producer Howard Benson, who had worked with them on their previous releases. The album, entitled Life Starts Now, was released on September 22, 2009. Critics as well as band members have noted the album's departure from the angry tone of the band's previous releases into a lyrical style that comes off as more optimistic. According to guitarist Barry Stock, the album's theme centers around "a new sense of freshness" and the idea that "you don't have to be stuck in whatever it is you're dealing with. Whether it's good or bad, it's your choice to make a change."
Life Starts Now debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, Three Days Grace's highest chart position, and sold 79,000 copies in its first week. The album was met with mixed reviews. Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star gave the album a negative review, saying it possesses "no sound of its own, just a shallow range between Linkin Park and Nickelback". According to Allmusic reviewer James Christopher Monger, who gave the album three out of five stars, Life Starts Now continues the theme of One-X, Gontier's personal demons, but with a "hint of sunlight". He compliments the album, saying it "treats the well-worn metal themes of anger, isolation, heartache, and redemption with the kind of begrudging respect they deserve, pumping out a competent flurry of fist-bump anthems and world-weary, midtempo rockers".[32] Harsher negative reviews came from Ben Czajkowski from 411mania.com as he described the album as "Boring, bland, trite, tired, tried, and true".
The first single from the album, "Break", was released on September 1, 2009. Three Days Grace embarked on a 20-date Canadian tour lasting through November and December 2009.[36] They co-headlined a January–February 2010 tour of the US with Breaking Benjamin and Flyleaf.
They embarked on a US headlining tour with support from Chevelle, and Adelitas Way starting on March 26, 2010 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and ending on April 16, 2010 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Three Days Grace went on tour with Nickelback and Buckcherry on the Dark Horse Fall 2010 Tour. They toured with My Darkest Days starting in March 2011 in Seattle, Washington.[39] They also joined Avenged Sevenfold on their Spring "Welcome to the Family" tour in 2011.[citation needed] They toured with Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, Escape The Fate, and Bullet For My Valentine on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar tour from August 2011 to October 2011. It was their last album under Jive Records and their first album under Sony Music Entertainment after the Sony BMG joint venture ended, moving all former BMG labels to the new Sony Music Entertainment.

They created an early promotional video that was released on their website, featuring clips of them in the studio as well as footage of the physical transit of Venus. Due to the rarity of this occurrence, they created the slogan, "some things will never happen again in your lifetime", reflecting both this uncommon occurrence as well as the mood that the lyrics and music will most likely take on. The first single on the album, "Chalk Outline", was released August 14.
On January 9, 2013, Three Days Grace announced that Adam Gontier was resigning from the band. Brad's brother, Matt Walst of My Darkest Days, would be touring with the band as lead vocals. They cited Adam Gontier's sudden departure due to medical reasons.

The Mountain
Three Days Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Another night I'm barely holdin' on
One step away from being dead and gone
Am I alive to die another day?
Is this life that I've been livin'
All that's meant for me?
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still survivin', keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
The higher I go, the harder I fall
So I don't look down, I don't look back at all
And when I wish it all would turn to black
I try to see the light and push the darkness back
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still survivin', I keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
So If I'm numb, already too far gone
And If I feel a pulsin', I can carry on
When I'm lost and wanna fade away
I tell myself to live to die another day, yeah
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still alive and keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain, the mountain
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'

Another night I'm barely holdin' on
One step away from being dead and gone
Am I alive to die another day?
All that's meant for me?
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain

Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still survivin', keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
The higher I go, the harder I fall
So I don't look down, I don't look back at all

The lyrics to Three Days Grace's song "The Mountain" are an ode to perseverance in the face of adversity. The mountains, in this context, represent the challenges and obstacles that life throws our way. The singer acknowledges that every day is a struggle, but he keeps pushing forward, never giving up. He acknowledges that at times he feels like dying, but he keeps climbing, determined to reach the top.
The song is a powerful statement on mental health and the importance of resilience. It acknowledges the reality of depression and the challenges that come with it, but it emphasizes that there is always hope. The lyrics call on the listener to keep pushing forward, no matter how hard things get, and to never give up on themselves.
The recurring line of "keep climbing the mountain" is particularly poignant, as it reinforces the idea that even when we feel like we can't go on, we must keep moving forward. The repeated use of the phrase also serves as a powerful reminder that life is a journey, and that we must keep pushing ourselves to reach new heights.
Line by Line Meaning
Every day I'm just survivin'
I am barely getting by each day
Keep climbin' the mountain
I am trying to overcome my obstacles and move forward
Even when I feel like dyin'
I am persevering even when I feel like giving up
Another night I'm barely holdin' on
I am struggling to keep going through another difficult night
One step away from being dead and gone
I am close to my breaking point and may not survive much longer
Am I alive to die another day?
I question whether I am truly living or just surviving until my eventual demise
Is this life that I've been livin'
I am uncertain whether the life I have lived so far has any meaning or purpose
All that's meant for me?
I wonder if this is all there is to my life
Every time I think I'm over it
Just when I feel like I have overcome my struggles
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I find myself back at the bottom again, facing the same challenges
The higher I go, the harder I fall
The more I achieve, the greater the risk of failure and disappointment
So I don't look down, I don't look back at all
I focus on moving forward and don't dwell on my past or potential failure
And when I wish it all would turn to black
When I am overwhelmed and want everything to end
I try to see the light and push the darkness back
I look for positivity and hope to overcome my struggles
So If I'm numb, already too far gone
If I am disconnected or have lost hope
And If I feel a pulsin', I can carry on
If I feel a spark or glimmer of hope, I can keep going
When I'm lost and wanna fade away
When I am feeling lost and want to give up
I tell myself to live to die another day, yeah
I remind myself to keep living and fighting, even if it's just for one more day
I'm still alive and keep climbin'
I am still surviving and trying to move forward
Keep climbin' the mountain, the mountain
I will continue to overcome my challenges and obstacles

Lyrics:
Everyday I'm just surviving,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Even when I feel like dying,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Another night I'm barely holding on,
One step away from being dead and gone,
Am I alive to die another day?
Is this a life that I've been living,
or that's meant for me?
Everyday I'm just surviving,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Even when I feel like dying,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Every time I think I`m over it,
And I wake up in the bottom of it all again,
I'm still surviving,
Keep climbing,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
The higher I go the harder I fall,
So I don't look down, I don't look back at all,
And when I wish it all would turn to black,
I try to see the light and push the darkness back,
Everyday I'm just surviving,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Even when I feel like dying,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Every time I think I`m over it,
And I wake up in the bottom of it all again,
I'm still surviving,
Keep climbing,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
So If I'm numb, already too far gone,
And If I feel a pulsing, I keep carry on,
When I'm lost and want to fade away,
I tell myself to live to die another day.
Everyday I'm just surviving,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Even when I feel like dying,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
Every time I think I`m over it,
And I wake up in the bottom of it all again,
I'm still alive,
Keep climbing,
Keep climbing,
The Mountain.
The Mountain.

HERE IS ANOTHER 2018 SONG WITH LYRICS ENJOY :
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Another night I'm barely holdin' on
One step away from being dead and gone
Am I alive to die another day?
Is this life that I've been livin'
All that's meant for me?
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still survivin', keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
The higher I go, the harder I fall
So I don't look down, I don't look back at all
And when I wish it all would turn to black
I try to see the light and push the darkness back
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still survivin', I keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
So If I'm numb, already too far gone
And If I feel a pulsin', I can carry on
When I'm lost and want to fade away
I tell myself to live to die another day, yeah
Every day I'm just survivin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Even when I feel like dyin'
Keep climbin' the mountain
Every time I think I'm over it
I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still alive and keep climbin'
Keep climbin' the mountain, the mountain.......

And when I wish it all would turn to black
I try to see the light and push the darkness back
Everyday i'm just surviving
Keep climbing
The Mountain
Even when I feel like dying
Keep climbing
The Mountain
Everytime I think im over it
And I wake up in the bottom of it all again
I'm still surviving
Keep climbing
Keep climbing
The Mountain
So if i'm not already too far gone
And if I feel a pulsing I can carry on
When I'm lost and want to fade away
I tell myself to live
To die another day
Everyday i'm just surviving
Keep climbing
The Mountain
Even when I feel like dying
Keep climbing
The Mountain
Everytime I think im over it
And I wake up in the bottom of it all again
Im still alive and
Keep climbing
Keep climbing
The Mountain
The Mountain

@ModernFreak123
Wrong song buddy

@sethpre
Honestly? This is my favourite song Three Days Grace ever put out. It’s aggressive, powerful, and the voice is perfect.
@edwardcross459
That’s a first! Not a bad thing, I think this song is very solid, I’ve just never heard anyone say this, of and song with Matt is their favorite.
@manpan4693
Same this song is awesome
@sethpre
And oh, I’m a huge fan of Adam Gontier. The fact that this song kicks like this really shows that Matt Walst is really trying, and he’s succeeding. Keep climbing the mountain, Matt.
