History (unofficial version)
The group was formed in 1996 by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.
The history of the group can be divided into two distinct parts: before the departure of the group's leader Alexander Bard in 1999 and after his departure, since which the singer Mattias Lindblom has become the group's new leader. The first two full albums of 1997 and 1998 were characterized by classical music influences and socially-, politically- and even astronomically-themed lyrics, which are very unusual for synth pop music; the 2004 album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up to This", written by Wollbeck/Lindblom, steered away from synth pop to trance/techno and personal lyrics dealing with love and the meaning of life.

Let The Mountain Come To Me
Vacuum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A magic to perform
This rite of passage
Like the riders of the storm
I'll be your hero
An angel in the sky
Countdown to zero
And the rockets flying high
Let the mountain come to me
That's how it's got to be
Let them come to me
Bring rain and thunder to my throne
I'll do it all alone
Let them come to me
Let them come to me
Bring them home to see
Let them come to me
Let them come to me
I've got a devotion
Construction is my aim
Take this corrosion
And the pressure of today
We stay survivors
We keep our goals alive
Remain outsiders
And hold our spirits high
The lyrics of Vacuum's song "Let The Mountain Come To Me" speak of a mission, a magic to perform, and a rite of passage, similar to the concept of the riders of the storm. The singer claims to be a hero and an angel in the sky, counting down to zero as the rockets fly high. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Let the mountain come to me," emphasizing the idea that the singer will do it all alone.
To interpret this song, we can start with the chorus. "Let the mountain come to me" signifies that the singer is ready for whatever challenges or obstacles may come their way. Instead of seeking out the mountain, the singer welcomes it to come to them, indicating a willingness to face difficulties head-on and overcome them. The repeated phrase serves as a reminder to the listener that we are capable of enduring whatever comes our way, as long as we stay true to our goals and hold our spirits high.
The song's verses further emphasize this message of perseverance and determination. The singer has a "devotion" and an "aim" which they pursue through construction and overcoming the "corrosion" and "pressure" of daily life. The image of staying survivors and remaining outsiders suggests that the singer is determined to keep going despite opposition or discouragement.
In short, Vacuum's "Let The Mountain Come To Me" is a song about facing challenges with determination and a willingness to persevere, no matter what obstacles may arise.
