Horizont
Black Heaven Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wir gehen den schmalen Weg
Am Rande des Zerfalls
Die Sonne scheint zwar, doch
Der Wind ist bitterkalt
Die Tafel war gedeckt
Ein übergroßer Tisch
Wir aßen bis nichts mehr
Übrig ist

Ich seh die Sonne untergehen
Bis sie den Horizont entflammt
Es legt sich Dunkelheit
Über dieses Land
Ich seh den großen stillen Traum
Der aus der Tiefe sich erhebt
Und niemand weiß ob er
Bis morgen überlebt

Wie weit willst du noch gehen
Bis die Verachtung droht
Die Hure die dich ruft
Ist doch schon lange tot
Der Morgen wartet schon
Am Ende dieser Nacht

Er ist aus unserem Fleisch
Und Blut gemacht

Overall Meaning

The song "Horizont" by Black Heaven talks about a journey that is laden with difficulties and the inevitability of darkness. The lyrics convey the idea of a perilous journey through a desolate, barren land, which is crumbling at the edges. The biting wind seems to cut like a knife and is far too cold for comfort, even when the sun's rays attempt to warm the skin. The opening of the song suggests that they have been living in abundance, with a table befitting a grand feast. However, this time of excess is long gone, and now there is nothing left.

The second part of the song is more reflective, and the singer seems to be watching the sunset. They observe the darkening of the sky and the ominous quietness that takes over the land. The lyrics suggest that there is a great dream that is hidden deep within the darkness, which may or may not survive till daybreak. As the song continues, the singer speaks directly to someone, asking what lengths they will go to before they begin to feel contempt and loathing. There is also mention made of a seductive, forbidden figure who is nothing more than a mirage, and dawn approaches at the end of the night.

Overall, "Horizont" is a song that is melancholy and introspective, reflecting on the inevitability of darkness and the journey of life that we must all undertake. It speaks to the idea that everything comes to an end, whether we are prepared for it or not, and sometimes that end comes too soon.
