Song Meaning of Mountain Sound by Of Monsters and Men
"Mountain Sound" is essentially a song about freedom and escape. The story of running away from restrictions and finding comfort in the woods is woven throughout the lyrics. Phrases like "We sleep until the sun goes down" and "Underneath the mountain sound" conjure up images of freedom and exploration, where the natural world serves as a haven free from the stresses of the contemporary world.
One way to read the song is as a metaphor for achieving clarity and serenity in the middle of chaos. The song's characters are able to rediscover themselves and find harmony apart from society demands since the mountains represent a haven of reflection and solace. Listeners who are looking for a respite from their busy life and long for peaceful, introspective times will find great resonance with this concept.
Lyrics of Mountain Sound by Of Monsters and Men
I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we travelled armed with nothing but a shadow
We fled far away
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Some had scars and some had scratches
It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We sleep until the sun goes down
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
[2x]
La la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
La la la, we sleep until the sun goes down
La la la, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
La la la, we sleep until the sun goes
