Mountains
jome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was so lost and in pain
True, could have been better
Stayed up more, nights are the same
If I ever was reeling I just can't help what I'm feeling
I hope you know I didn't mean it, I'm opening a way to
Turn the city into gold
Until we're taller than mountains
Burn the embers in the snow
Above them we will grow
Until we're taller than mountains
Just give me a minute
Let the wind gather its pain
I was scared from within it
Find the same place to look back
If I ever was reeling, I just can't help what I'm feeling
I hope you know I didn't mean it, I'm opening a way to
Turn the city into gold
Above it we will grow
Until we're taller than mountains
Burn the embers in the snow
Above them we will grow
Until we're taller than mountains
Until we're taller than mountains
Until we're taller than mountains
Lift your head, tread lightly
Through the trees, there's a timing
What I need is behind me
We can see what the night means
Lift your head, tread lightly
Through the trees, there's a timing
What I need is behind me
We can see what the night means
If I ever was reeling, I just can't help what I'm feeling
I hope you know I didn't mean it, I'm opening a way to
Turn the city into gold
Above it we will grow
Until we're taller than mountains
Burn the embers in the snow
Above them we will grow
Until we're taller than mountains
Until we're taller than mountains
Until we're taller than mountains
The lyrics of Jome's song "Mountains" reflect the feeling of regret and longing for a second chance in a relationship that has been taken for granted. The words paint a picture of someone who has realized the errors of their ways and is now reaching out to their partner, hoping to make amends and grow together. The opening lines, "I took you for granted, I was so lost and in pain," express the singer's remorse for not appreciating their partner when they had the chance. They admit that they could have been a better partner and stayed up more nights to be with them.
Despite the regret, the singer acknowledges that they cannot help what they are feeling. The lines, "If I ever was reeling, I just can't help what I'm feeling, I hope you know I didn't mean it," convey the helplessness that someone may feel when overwhelmed by emotions. The singer also seeks to make amends, "I'm opening a way to turn the city into gold, above it we will grow, until we're taller than mountains." Here, they express the desire for their relationship to flourish and to be bigger and better than anything that may come their way.
The last part of the song focuses on the couple's journey to regain what they have lost. The singer encourages their partner to look up and move forward, even when things are difficult, "lift your head, tread lightly, through the trees, there's a timing." The song ends with the repetition of the belief that the couple can grow together and even be taller than mountains.
