Setting Sun
Chasing the Horizon: Unveiling the Profound Journey in Hawken Horse's 'Setting Sun'
Lyrics
My bones and my skin
My existence, both my skeletal structure and outer covering
Came from this dirt
Originated from this earth
Same as the rocks
Similar to the formation of rocks, elks, and birds
The elk and the birds
Similarity with the creation of elks and birds from the earth
That's why I'm running
Reason for moving swiftly
That's why I must go
Necessity to depart
Because I am one with
Connection with that distant radiance
That distant glow
Identifying as part of a far-off luminosity
Been a setting sun
Consistently declining, similar to the sun's descent
Since the day I first drew breath
Since the moment I was born, continuously fading away like a setting sun
I'm a setting sun
Analogizing oneself as a setting sun, ablaze and moving towards the west
On fire and headed west
Describing personal state as ablaze and moving towards the west
On fire and headed west
Reiteration of being ablaze and moving towards the west
Most folks below
Most people below do not comprehend
Don't understand
They lack understanding because I spend my time in elevated terrains
Cause I spend my days
My routine involves being in high-altitude areas
Up in the high land
Disregarding their ridicule and disdain
But I don't heed
Not paying attention to their mocking behavior
Their scoffing and scorn
Because I have been following this path since my earliest days
Cause I've been this way
Consistent in this way of life since the beginning
Since my first morn
Consistently fading away, akin to the setting sun
Been a setting sun
Since the time I took my first breath, continuously declining like a setting sun
Since the day I first drew breath
Comparing self to a setting sun, ablaze and moving towards the west
I'm a setting sun
Personal state described as ablaze and moving towards the west
On fire and headed west
Reiteration of being ablaze and moving towards the west
On fire and headed west
Consistently declining, similar to the sun's descent
Been a setting sun
Since the moment I was born, continuously fading away like a setting sun
Since the day I first drew breath
Analogizing oneself as a setting sun, ablaze and moving towards the west
I'm a setting sun
Describing personal state as ablaze and moving towards the west
On fire and headed west
Reiteration of being ablaze and moving towards the west
On fire and headed west
Consistently declining, similar to the sun's descent
