I love these lyrics from Biffy and my interpretation of it is that its about being in a relationship with someone who has become paranoid and jealous. "I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break, the mountain did" - to me, this means he started a relationship with someone he thought was strong, stronger than himself and if anyone was going to crack, he thought it was going to be him first but it wasn't. "Let's go, I want to go, all the way to the horizon" - Simply put, let's carry on, i want to carry on, til the end. "I took a drink out of the ocean, and I'm treading water there before I drown" - Here he is saying he is doing his best to keep the relationship afloat, but he doesn't know how much longer he can keep it going, "Let's dive, I want to dive. To the bottom of the ocean" - Again, simply put, let's carry on with it. Lets take our relationship to new depths. "Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you. Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride, I wouldn't leave here without you." - He is saying here that he doesn't want to go anywhere in life without her, because the journey was started together and he doesn't want to end it unless its also together. "I am a mountain. I am the sea. You can't take that away from me" - I am strong and I can carry us. It doesn't matter what you throw at me. "'Cause you tear us apart, With all the things you don't like, You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, And then you'll find out. Where it all went wrong" - This is the telling verse of the song. He is saying that she is tearing them apart with paranoia and jealousy issues. She can't get it into her head that he is there for the long haul. Until death do us part = til we're finished here, when she will find out that everything she thought about him wanting out was wrong. "I wrote a note to the jungle and, they wrote me back that I was never crowned King of the jungle, so there's an end to my horizon" - This line means that he doesn't see himself as an alpha male that has the need to explore the jungle any more. He's been to the end of that horizon. He's done with all that. |
