Play This On A Mountain At Sunset Lyrics

(Yeah, just go to the back)
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh
Girl standby, it's time, 'bout to blow up like a landmine
Girl standby (Standby)
Girl standby (Standby), it's time, 'bout to blow up like a landmine
That you can't find (Can't find)
You and I
Girl standby, on the beach, got my hands tied (Hands tied)
Going off like a landmine (Landmine)
Thoughts that I can't find (Can't find)
Girl standby (Standby), standby (Standby)

I got the moon-dust, see your body movin', oh
Got my hands tied, oh, landline (Landline)
Got some problems that I can't find (Can't find)
On the beach, hands tied (Hands tied, get it, get it, get it, let's go!)
Girl we could cause a headline, take you to the sunlight
All my nights
You take all my soul alive, don't know why (Don't know why)
We the ones on the rowboats in the water, we want no problem
Drink it all on the boats in the water, we want no problems
Standby, standby (Get it, get it)
I'm not coming down until I know
Going out, landmine, got your hand now, standby (Standby)
Channel swish, they don't miss (Swish God on the list)
That's a gift, this is it (It, yeah)
We don't trip, triple flip (Flip it, oh my, triple flip)
Mis-uh-fits, that's the clique (Oh, standby)
Like a landline (Go, go, get it, get it, get it)
Talkin' 'bout no problems that I can't find (Can't find it)
Water on the beach, landmine (Water)
Don't gotta drip like this
Ooh, standby

It's a lullaby, ooh, ooh it's a lullaby
We wanna fly, look on the fly, jump in the sky
Found this how
We found this, the sky, we fly
Fly boundless, boundless, boundless
Fountains (Fountains), for mountains (Mountains)
Mountains (Mountains), stuck in the mountains
Stuck in my own ways, stuck in the hallways always (Always)
All days blend, make one then
Mountains, fountains, around them (All around them)
I got the water, why am I drowning?
Mountains, mountains, fountains, allow this
How'd we allow this? It's crowded (Crowded)
(Dyin') Thousands (Cryin') about them
Rerouting (Tryin'), there's thousands (Fountains)
Frozen, oh (Hopeless)
How could I say?
Fish are falling from the sky, my eyes see four ways (Ways)
Blood flowing in the rivers, now my mouth your name
Carve those letters in my leg, tryna feel your pain, girl (Pain)
I look the same, I'm not the same (Erys, I'm not the same)
Tell me, has the valley changed, girl?
Have I been walkin' through your brain, girl?
I think I'm goin' through a change (Change)
Sunset's still feeling afraid
Tryna tell me she don't feel anything
Wait 'til the sky turns pink (Pink)
Soon you'll see why I'm boundless

Flying, boundless (Let's just lay down up here)
Flying (It's just up that road), mountains
I know my stomach hurts (My stomach hurts too)
Mountains
Mountains

What is the Meaning of Play This On A Mountain At Sunset?

In this meditative exploration, Jaden Smith navigates themes of emotional turmoil and existential reflection. The recurring imagery of landmines, moon-dust, and mountains encapsulates a journey filled with both danger and beauty. The sense of entrapment conveyed through phrases like "got my hands tied" and "can't find" signifies inner conflicts and struggles, while the reference to being "on the rowboats in the water" suggests a quest for peace amidst chaos. The juxtaposition of nature’s elements—mountains, fountains, and rivers—against personal pain and change highlights the dichotomy between the external world and internal psyche. Ultimately, the song reflects a contemplative state, where flying "boundless" in the presence of mountains and sunsets becomes a metaphor for transcending hidden fears and embracing transformation.
