In the first sentence she is

reflecting all of the names

she has forgotten, of people
that she knew. So many
people have departed from
her life that she is
mourning their
disappearance, using
mountains as a metaphor
Referring to her failures,
and the roughness of her
society, and the
environment she lives in.
Here she is stating that man
(referring to the people in our
current society or the people she
knew) cant grasp love or true
beauty, as our society is
becoming more selfish and

This sentence emphasises the

dark, depressive state that
she lives in. The dreams she
has, and her wild imagination
are the only aspects of her life
that are holding her together.
She is looking back on her
past experiences, perhaps in
a period of her life when she
felt extremely content, and
This is a reference to
looking up at the
stars. This sentence is
significant because
stars are associated
with dreams; when
you wish upon a star,
you hope that it takes
you to your destiny.
As she is being
carried along with
current of the
waves (her mind),
she objects to
waking up because
she knows that her
dark, twisted

She is so
content with
living in this
idealistic reality,
that she has
forgotten what
the outside, real
world is actually

The green represents her happiness

however; the snow is a metaphor to
describe the coldness serenity in her
heart.

Mourning Mountains
Who names I do not know
Admiring green parts with peaks of snow
Watching rolling enclaves
Dribble little streams
These are all aspects which help make my dreams
Harsh declines and rugged land
Emphasis just how much man
Has to learn about true beauty
And I feel that it's our duty
Admiration is always a temptation
When I see the sea
Splashing in rage at me
Showing off its gymnastic ability
The waves jump higher than I can see visibly
Now I'm dreaming about riding these waves
I jump on top and let it carry me away
Gliding gracefully I can safely say
This is the best feeling I've had in many days
Looking down I can see ripples of reality
Drawing ever closer they start to mesmerize me
Now completely immersed
I can't hear the words that used to hurt
I'm suspended in the air
Being carried along and not giving a care
Looking up I see lights scattered round
Pointing in a direction which is homewards bound
Trusting the current
To cradle me numb
Rendering me helpless like it's carrying its young
I know when I open my eyes
I feel the darkness come from inside
I trust the sea
And I don't know why
It just feels so normal to lye
------And then I wake up and realise I'm in the same room,
Looking at the same gloom.

Her perception of reality is

completely distorted, as she has
been living in this unrealistic,
fantasy world. Only until now she
actually faces reality.

This sentence is a
description of how
completely mesmerised she
is with her scenery, and the
atmosphere she was once
surrounded with.
All of this scenery is just
a figment of her
imagination.
Here she is stating
that admiration, and
dreaming about a
happier period of her
life, is always a
temptation; as she is
now living in misery,
and unhappiness.
In this sentence she is so
compelled by the waves and
her own thoughts, that the
darkness is no longer visible
to her.
This sentence is
emphasising her true
dark side, she is so
content, and immersed
with happiness, yet she
is still reminded of her
Here she is using a metaphor
of the waves to describe the
power of her own thoughts.
The thoughts in her own head
are so powerful, that she feels
numb with happiness.
Without these dreams,
she is completely
helpless as she cannot
face her true reality.

This last sentence is a

sudden juxtaposition of our
perception of the video, and
the song. Together, Lola
and I decided to give the
song the title of Gloom; I
thought this was a very
powerful title, as it
contradicts with the songs
concept of happiness, and
joy; reverting it into
