The Unseen
Horisont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What someone out you
Never ... what I lost
You took me down
And you showed me
Little things I didn't know
Take me home
Don't you know
Without you ... for myself and you know
All I see
Is the sky above me
Greeting for the sunning nest
Drowning slow
In this dark hole
Screaming please just set me free
Ahh...
Someone help me
Take me home
Don't you know
Without you ... for myself and you know
The lyrics of Horisont's "The Unseen" suggest a sense of desperation and longing for help from the unknown. The first few lines suggest a struggle of communication, as the singer questions how others could understand their pain when they "never ... what [they] lost." This indicates a sense of isolation and a lack of empathy from others. The next lines speak of someone who took the singer "down" and showed them "little things" they didn't know before. This could be interpreted as someone who came into the singer's life and helped them see things from a new perspective, bringing a sense of enlightenment to their struggles.
The following lines are filled with bleak imagery, as the singer expresses a feeling of being lost, trapped, and drowning in darkness. They ask someone to help take them home and express a sense of codependency, stating that they cannot survive without this outside force. The closing lines end on a note of ambiguity, leaving the listener to wonder if the singer will ever find that help.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Unseen" appear to express a desire for connection, guidance, and a sense of purpose. They speak to the idea that sometimes we need others to help us see and experience the world in a different way, and that truly understanding another person's experiences can be a difficult task.
