Matterhorn Lyrics

Lyric discussion by gren 

Cover art for Matterhorn lyrics by Jason Lytle

So is this a literal song about the dead never burdening the living on high altitude climbs? (so many dead bodies litter the major mountains of the world) She died and he had to continue on?

Or is this just imagery? Something of an Icarus story? Does it matter?

Another beautiful Jason Lytle song...
