Lyrics Mount Analogue - Idlewild

Mount Analogue

You don’t have to, you don’t have to
You don’t have to look upon people in the third person
Don’t have to, you don’t have to, it’s true
You don’t have to, you don’t have to
I can give you an example of writing in the third person
The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep (before I sleep)
Before I sleep
It’s like Mount Analogue
If you say that you’ve seen it don’t sway it
Because it means more or less nothing to me and you
Nothing beyond, beyond
Nothing to you
'Cause even if you’ve got somewhere to go, something to say
Nothing to do
That means more or less nothing to me and you
Nothing beyond, beyond
Nothing to you
You don’t have to, you don’t have to
Advertise everything to me in the third person
(Don't have to, don’t have to, it’s true)
If it’s the happiest place on Earth (don't have to, don’t have to)
It only exists because you let it turn into something real (don't have to,
don’t have to)
Climbing Mount Analogue
Allegorically the reason it’s there
Is one of inaccessibility
At least it’s inaccessible to you and me
So you might as well do the frog, season my dog
Season my chili with a growing sense of inevitability
