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 to
describe how great this
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
materialistic.

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

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
reality is awaiting her.

She is so content with

living in this idealistic
reality, that she has
forgotten what the
outside, real world is
actually like.

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 dark past.

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 something actually
