Feist – Undiscovered First Lyrics 8 years ago
If you listen to the Spotify interview with the artist, she talks about her thoughts behind the song. She talks about the song as if it's a personal journey to find answers in one's own life, rather then the questioning of a relationship. She says "A solitary person is climbing a mountain, and there going to see an oracle who's sitting at the top, who has a long beard that goes all the way down the mountain because he's been there for thousands of years. Along the way the man meets three wise women (mountain climbers) who are floating above the mountain and speak in unison like a Greek chorus. They give this man a little bit of wisdom to keep him climbing. Finally he reaches the top and he see's the wise man and all this wisdom comes to him in the form of more rhetorical questions that can never be answered. This causes an avalanche and basically the mountain crumbles under his feet."
