Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song portrays an emotional physical and metaphorical ascent undertaken out of deep parental affection. A child is separated from parents by a steep, pathless mountain. The parents feel powerless ('dummy') against nature and fate, yet their unrelenting love drives them upward regardless of pain, thorns, or exhaustion. The lyrics highlight how unconditional love only knows how to press forward and climb higher for a loved one, questioning if such immense devotion can dissolve hardship and wipe away sins.
