Distant Horizons
Unveiling the Struggle: Bellhound Choir's Distant Horizons
Lyrics
I'm too tired to sleep
I am exhausted to the point where sleep eludes me.
I work when I'm told
I perform my duties as directed by external forces.
By the Beast
The Beast, symbolizing a challenging or oppressive force, dictates my actions.
The lesson rolls
A lesson or experience unfolds and shapes my existence.
In the air I breathe
The lesson is present in the very air I breathe.
Yeah the lesson rolls
The repetition emphasizes the pervasive nature of the lesson in the environment.
In the air I breathe
-And the distant horizon is fallin'
The distant horizon, a metaphor for the future, is collapsing or deteriorating.
The distant horizon is fallin'
-The distant horizon is fallin'
-And it won't be long 'til it hits me
An impending realization or consequence is approaching rapidly.
I'm too close
I am emotionally or physically too connected to someone or something.
To you
Addressing proximity to an unspecified entity or experience.
You're too close
A warning that being too close might be detrimental if the other party is unaware.
If you only knew
Suggesting that understanding the closeness is crucial.
The Beast lives
The Beast persists in a harmful substance, possibly a metaphor for negativity.
In the poison I drink
The poison I consume is connected to the oppressive force or challenge.
Yeah the Beast lives
The Beast's influence is not limited to actions but also present in the environment.
In the air I breathe
Reiterating the pervasive nature of the Beast in the very air breathed.
And the distant horizon is fallin'
Repetition emphasizes the imminent collapse of future possibilities.
The distant horizon is fallin'
-The distant horizon is fallin'
-And it won't be long 'til it hits me
The approaching consequence or realization is about to impact.
Until it hits me
Reinforces the inevitability of the impending impact.
