Though this song describes a youth facing an uncertain future in a city in Ireland, the title is from a chapter in Lord of the Flies. In that chapter, the sympathetic character Ralph is facing a power struggle that is turning against him as he and other boys fearfully climb a mountain at night. The specifics of the chapter and this song are very different but the emotions are similar.
