The song "Green Mountain State" by Trevor Hall appears to be an ode to the beauty and serenity found in the state of Vermont, also known as the Green Mountain State. The lyrics evoke a sense of connection to nature and the peacefulness it brings. The opening lines suggest a calling to the state and the silence it holds, questioning whether the beauty of nature resides both inside and outside of the singer. The mention of speaking through "10,000 leaves" implies the whispering of nature or the messages it conveys. The chorus repeats the phrase "There's a way" several times, perhaps implying that there is a path or a way of being that can be found through a connection with nature. The repetition emphasizes the importance of finding this way. The following verses suggest a story being told in a mystical way in a house by the lake. The roads that roam through big fields could symbolize the journey of life and how it intertwines with the beauty of nature. The mention of the heart being still as the roads come could indicate finding peace and tranquility in this connection. The lyrics continue to emphasize that there is a way, seemingly referring to a spiritual or philosophical path that has always existed. The calling on "the letters in leaves" and the ones unseen could imply a deeper connection to the mysteries of nature and the universe. The final lines mention the soul being born on the wheel, suggesting a cyclical nature of life and existence. There is no end or beginning, indicating a sense of eternal connection. Overall, "Green Mountain State" seems to celebrate the natural world, its ability to bring serenity, and the timeless wisdom it holds. The song encourages listeners to embrace a way of being that is harmonious with nature and to find solace in its beauty.
