Everest
beabadoobee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though you feel dead sometimes
You'll be fine, you're still eating
Even though it doesn't last sometimes
'Cause even if your eyes are black
Your bones are always gold
'Cause they've climbed up every mountain
'Cause even if your bags are packed
You'll never leave your home
'Cause you're scared of all the monsters
That are waiting to unfold
Blank noise, is an awful sound
And it hurts my ears, I don't know how
My name's just a silhouette
Hiding under all the sound down
'Cause even if your eyes are black
Your bones are always gold
'Cause they've climbed up every mountain
That no story's every told
'Cause even if your bags are packed
You'll never leave your home
'Cause you're scared of all the monsters
That are waiting to unfold
Boy, I'm scared
Boy, I'm scared
Boy, I'm scared
Boy, I'm scared
At its heart, beabadoobee's song Everest is a message of hope and reassurance in the midst of struggle and uncertainty. The opening verses acknowledge the moments when life can feel overwhelmingly difficult, when it seems as though everything is falling apart. The lines "Even though you feel dead sometimes / Even though it doesn't last sometimes" poignantly capture the ebb and flow of life's challenges. Despite these difficulties, however, the chorus offers a reminder that we all possess something precious within us - our true selves. "Your bones are always gold" suggests an innate worth and strength, while the idea that "they've climbed up every mountain / That no story's ever told" emphasises the unique heroism and resilience of our individual journeys.
The second verse of the song takes on a slightly different tone, exploring the idea of feeling forgotten or overlooked. Lines such as "Blank noise, is an awful sound / And it hurts my ears, I don't know how" convey a sense of frustration and alienation, particularly in a world where constant noise and distraction can drown out the voices of those who feel unheard. The repetition of the refrain "Boy, I'm scared" adds to this sense of vulnerability, while also complementing the overall message of the song - that even in our moments of fear and uncertainty, we are not alone, and we can find strength and comfort within ourselves.
