Mountains
Zac Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loving a long time, it's a lack there of
You get lost looking at the confines
Was there a great lie, we built up?
You believe
Whenever I'm not so sure
I believe this is what I've been waiting for
Down here in this valley
The sun burns slow
So we could stick close to our shadows
Like there's nowhere else to go
Or you could hold on to me day and night
There's nothing we can't do
I move mountains with you
I move mountains, oh
I move mountains, whoa
There's no use wondering if it's worth it
Cuz it could all be bullshit
I could be singing someone else's song
All that matters is we're learning
Just enough to know that we've heard it
From the moment that it came along
"Mountains" by Zac Clark is a song with deep introspection and reflection about life, love and self-worth. The lyrics in the song give a very different perspective to life, saying that it is not meant to be a linear journey, instead, it is full of twists and turns. The line "Life ain't meant to be a straight line" suggests that there is no clear path or direction and that it's up to us to find our way through. The absence of love can cause us to feel lost and confined, but we should look beyond the limitations we set for ourselves.
The chorus of the song is an expression of love, a promise to always be there for the person they love. The lines "Or you could hold on to me day and night, there's nothing we can't do, I move mountains with you" hints at the concept of teamwork and how together, we can achieve anything we set our minds to. The song portrays how crucial it is to have someone to lean on when times get tough, and we are unsure about ourselves or the path we are on.
