Mountain with Two Peaks

from Unheard, Unseen by Small Souls

/

about

This song started with me observing little details that hint at the drudgery of a working-class day, the repetition, the banality of your problems—all with a view of the summits but still feeling stuck in the valley. Ultimately, I suppose this song is about perspective. There’s this goal, but you can’t quite make it, or so you feel. But to others, or maybe to someone with a greater perspective, it looks quite different.

lyrics

Wake up at dawn, feel for the switch on the wall
Coffee grounds under your fingernails
Turnpike hurricane in the carpool lane

See the mountain with two peaks
Spend your paycheck in between
From the heavens it seems
You’re walking on the sea

Fluttering eyelids, fake I.D.
Father and daughter, screaming through their teeth

See the mountain with two peaks
Spend your paycheck in between
From the heavens it seems
You’re walking on the sea
