To the Dim Horizon
Journey Through Surreal Realms: To the Dim Horizon by Hertz Horn
Lyrics
I once rode a dead horse
I engaged in a futile or hopeless endeavor.
Into a ghost town
I entered a deserted or abandoned town.
And sat in the shade
I found a place to rest in the shadow.
Of a burning saloon
I took shelter in a burning building.
Raised a broken glass as
I raised a shattered glass.
The flames spread fast
The fire rapidly expanded.
And toasted absent friends
I made a symbolic gesture to people I never knew.
That I never knew
Acknowledging and honoring those who were absent from my life.
Ride the hypnagogic night mare
I experienced a dreamlike and surreal night terror.
Turn my eyes to the dim horizon
I shifted my focus to a vague and distant future.
I woke up cornered
I awoke feeling trapped or confined.
By mundane objects
Surrounded by ordinary, everyday objects.
Becoming colossal
Ordinary things appeared gigantic.
In a shrinking room
In a limited or shrinking space.
Hacked at the branches
I vigorously cut off connections or associations.
Of the tree I hanged from
Taking action against my source of suffering.
Carved extinct creatures
I crafted representations of extinct beings.
For a shoe-box zoo
Creating a miniature exhibit within a small container.
Ride the hypnagogic night mare
Experiencing another surreal night terror.
Turn my eyes to the dim horizon
Turning my attention again to an indistinct and distant future.
