Horse
Bird and Beast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was white on white
From the moor to the top of the peaks
The coffee shop girl
Put a sign outside
Said we're closed now due to the freeze
The year of confusion
The year of the horse
The gravitational force
The year of Illusion
An uncharted course
We were lost in the year of the horse
The bedclothes rolled
In a tight little ball
On a hook at the foot of the bed
We brought her tea and valium
She just wanted to get some rest
The year of disasters
The year of divorce
The end of the ever afters
The gravitational force
The year of confusion
An uncharted course
We were lost in the year of the horse
I saw Jesus in the shadow of a buzzard
Saw the devil in the shape of its claw
We watched it rise through a break in the sky
We stood back and watched it soar
The year we were 16
the year of the horse
The rush of amphetamine
The gravitational force
The year of illusion
The year of the horse
We were lost in the year of the horse
The song "Horse" by Bird and Beast uses vivid imagery and symbolism to describe a year of confusion, disaster, and divorce. The opening lines of the song describe a winter landscape, with snow falling and the cold forcing the closure of a coffee shop. The year of the horse is referenced throughout the song as a time of uncertainty and uncharted territory. The chorus repeats the phrase "we were lost in the year of the horse" emphasizing the feeling of being adrift and directionless.
The second verse of the song suggests a personal struggle with addiction and mental health. The bedclothes rolled in a tight little ball could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling trapped, and the tea and valium represent attempts to find relief or escape. The year of disasters and divorce suggests that these struggles may have contributed to personal or relationship breakdowns.
The final verse of the song uses religious imagery to describe a moment of transcendence or realization. Seeing Jesus and the devil in the shadow and shape of a buzzard demonstrate the duality of existence and the complexity of belief. The mention of amphetamines in the same verse reinforces the idea of seeking escape or transcendence through altered states.
Overall, "Horse" is a haunting and introspective song that explores themes of confusion, addiction, and transcendence. The repeated refrain of being lost in the year of the horse suggests that these themes may be universal and not specific to the individual experiences described in the verses.
