The Mountain
fatima dunn Lyrics

Oh you’re so mighty and angry and pulsing and trembling and so full of heat
The subject is describing a massive, powerful force that creates an intense feeling of fear and desire due to its intense heat and ability to cause tremors and pulsations.

Oh you’re so frightning yet tempting and pulling me in oh so foolishly
Despite inspiring fear, the subject's immense power and allure draw the singer in towards it compulsively, even when it is not rational to do so.

I feel a storm is coming
The subject's presence and power makes the singer feel that something significant, potentially dangerous or emotionally turbulent, is about to happen.

Bury my fears - I always had you in my heart
Despite fear, the artist has a sense of loyalty or devotion to what the subject represents, and chooses to confront their fear by embracing it as a part of their heart.

Bury the past - I always had you in my dreams
The artist has a desire to move on from past experiences, but still holds onto the subject as a representation of a hope or dream they aspire to.

Carry me far into the sea – darken the sun, glow in the dark
The singer wants to be taken far away by the subject's power, to a place where light is absent and its power can be seen unencumbered, even if it diminishes other sources of light like the sun.

I feel a storm, trembling earth is taking my breath, taking me in
The singer is further overcome by the power of the subject and describes the experience as one of intense sensory stimulation that renders them breathless and subsumed by its force.

I’m all yours now
The artist has given themselves completely over to the power of the subject, allowing themselves to be controlled by it.

Smoke blinds the sun
The artist sees the subject as something that can possess such immense power that even the sun can be obscured or made to appear diminished in comparison.

Arms wide open
The artist embraces the subject and its power fully, allowing it to envelope and control them.

Jumping in
The singer is willingly leaping into the unknown with the subject, enjoying the experience of being at the mercy of its power and control.

Catch my falling
The artist is placing their trust fully in the subject's power to protect and catch them when they fall, even though they are entering a situation that could be dangerous or unpredictable.

Forever yours
The singer sees themselves as belonging permanently to the subject; they are devoted to its power and what it represents.

Heavy blankets
The singer has a sense of being weighed down or stifled by the subject's control or force, like being trapped under heavy, suffocating blankets.

Darkening the sun
The subject is seen as having the power to disrupt or diminish other forces - even the sun - making it seem all the more powerful and irresistible to the singer.

Oh so quiet, oh so quiet
The artist sees the subject as overwhelming and intense, and its relative silence or calm is experienced as all the more threatening due to the impending sense of danger or the unknown that comes with it.

Lovely mountain
The artist has an appreciation for the subject's beauty and majesty, and willingly seeks out its power despite the potential for danger or risk.

Carry me far
The singer desires to be transported and held by the subject, to be taken away from current circumstances and into its powerful embrace.

Into the ocean
The ocean is a metaphor for a deep, unknown or uncontrollable force, and the singer is placing themselves willingly under both this force and the force of the subject.

Horizons call
There is a sense of longing or hope for something beyond the artist's current situation, and the subject represents a potential unknown to explore or encounter.
