‘Mountains’: Overcoming Negativity
‘Mountains’ sounds like a fight to the top, its lines battling thoughts and emotions that feel insurmountable some days, but are still overcome. Those moments when “…the voices get louder and shout…are made to be climbed like mountains…”.
“…I’m worthy every breath that I take…”.
Those lines in the refrain reflect a sense of resilience that the song’s soundscape seems to be building up to slowly. The first verse focuses on the weight of those negative voices, while the second affirms a sense of inherent strength.
“…My heart, beating for life
It’s pounding and pounding
completely tireless(sic)…”.
And later,
“…I know my worth
I just have to get louder and shout…”.
The core message ‘Mountains’ seems to lie in its climactic bridge. The lines in this section feel like a strong pull towards a summit. Somehow like a hard battle that’s been won.
“…And I know I will succeed
Cause I’m a fighter
And nobody will stop me
Not even the voices in my head
Will block me
Cause I’m so much stronger than this
You will see
I’m free…”.
