Witness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the clues offer nothin' of any
So you work and you sleep and you wake
And then you've got to wait there
For an avalanche to cover you
But you know you gotta scream
To shake the ice on the side
So scream your lungs raw
Till you can't do it anymore
Then work and sleep and wake
And then you've got to wait there
For an avalanche to cover you
But you know you gotta scream
To shake the ice on the side
Of the mountain free
Have you ever thought of children?
Is the world here a heaven?
Are the secrets in the walls here
That I never had been given?
I spend half of my lifetime
Just trying to work for Jesus
I only wish my folks had told it
And he didn't really need us, no
But you know you gotta scream
To shake the ice on the side
Of the mountain free
The lyrics to Witness’s song “Avalanche” convey the sense of frustration, helplessness, and the overwhelming feeling of waiting for something to happen that might never come. The song begins with the lines “We follow the leads but the clues offer nothing of any,” which suggests the singer has been trying to make sense of the world and find direction, but without any success. They have been working hard, sleeping and waking, but still, they feel stuck and have to wait for an avalanche to cover them, which can be interpreted as an external force beyond their control to take over.
The idea of screaming to shake the ice on the side of the mountain free serves as an analogy for breaking free from whatever binds a person in their situation. The singer seems to believe that waiting for an avalanche is their only option, but they also realize that they have to scream to shake off the ice that keeps them from moving forward. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is reflecting on their life and wondering about its meaning. They think about children and whether the world is a heaven, questioning the secrets in walls they may have missed. Finally, they lament the fact that they have spent so much time “trying to work for Jesus,” wishing their parents had not made them internalize that need.

Line by Line Meaning
We follow the leads
We try to find clues and answers
But the clues offer nothin' of any
The clues are not helpful
So you work and you sleep and you wake
You work tirelessly to find answers
And then you've got to wait there
And then you have to wait for something to happen
For an avalanche to cover you
For a defining moment of change to happen
But you know you gotta scream
You need to make a bold move
To shake the ice on the side
To cause a chain reaction
Of the mountain free
To break free from being stuck
So scream your lungs raw
Put your all into it
Till you can't do it anymore
Until you exhaust all efforts
Have you ever thought of children?
Have you thought about the future generation?
Is the world here a heaven?
Is life good enough?
Are the secrets in the walls here
Are there hidden truths?
That I never had been given?
That I was never aware of?
I spend half of my lifetime
I invest a significant amount of my life
Just trying to work for Jesus
In trying to do good
I only wish my folks had told it
I wish I had more guidance
And he didn't really need us, no
But it turns out that we are not essential
