About the song... |

“'Climb' was the first thing I wrote for the record.
Lyrically it's about the struggles of the business and how I had come to
the realization that I was starting over in a new band from square 1. No
deal, no following... nothing. The Climb referred to in the song is
obviously the climb to success, which any musicians who may be reading
this know it takes some serious determination, belief in your talent and
a lot of persistence. This was the first song that I had ever written
lyrically from just a stream of consciousness. I usually think of what
my "subject" is and then write a ton of lyrics and use the bits that feel
the best to sing and get the point across. Well for this one I had
melodies first which generally doesn't happen for me. Push and Angel
also came about the same way since it worked well for me on this song. I
like how the lyrics turned out on this one, although we didn't quite
capture the live energy on this song in the studio that I would have
liked, but we'll bring the goods on this one live!” |

Climb
I'm scared of the changing times
I just sucked it up all the time
and tried to find a reason why
I'm tired of what I have facing me
Settled in a nice routine
don't draw the line
Or you'll say goodbye
Many things I never know
But there are pieces I've been shown
Now I'm facing
this mountain I must climb
Every year I wonder
How much harder can I try?
Now I'm facing
This mountain I must climb
Faced with this uphill climb
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
to complete this dream of mine
And I'd hate not to be there
Not to be here, I'd be anywhere
Just to see you all here
And what I knew then
Is not really how it seems
Are there reasons then?
That you left me for dead
Many things I never know
But there are pieces I've been shown
Now I'm facing
this mountain I must climb
Every year I wonder
How much harder can I try?
Now I'm facing
This mountain I must climb
There can't be any reason now
To wanna try and fight this
I can't stop and turn back now
I just gotta face the mountain
Many things I never know
But there are pieces I've been shown
Now I'm facing
this mountain I must climb
Every year I wonder
How much harder can I try?
Now I'm facing
This mountain I must climb
