Horizon Vertical Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Echo,
Echo-ooo
We come and we go
No, I don't want to be just another
Echo
Echo-ooo
Something that I really need
Everyone I know
Someone that i want to be.
Even though,
I don't really know
I better pick it up
Before I let it slip away
I better stick it out
Before I take another day.
Into now
Every word I say, fades out.
[Chorus]
Can only open up your eyes
When the clouds break
Can only feel alive
Even though the world shakes.
Every night
You're in my quiet, sateen, light.
Can I hold you close
To a rather full moon kiss.
Everything I know
I don't even know who it is
It all falls through
I'm here and I hear you.
[Chorus]
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
'Cause I need to, just to reach you
Can you hear me?
Coming clearly?
Am I hollow?
Just an echo?
[Chorus]
(Hello?)Echo
Echo-ooo
(Do you hear me?) We come and we go
(Hello?) No, I don't want to be just another
(Do you hear me?)Echo
Echo-ooo
It's just another day
And every single word I say, fades out.

Line by Line Meaning
Echo,
Repeating the past experiences and mistakes
Echo-ooo
The lingering effect of something in the present
We come and we go
Humans are here for a limited time
No, I don't want to be just another
Not wanting to blend in with the crowd
Everywhere I go
Having a need that must be fulfilled
Something that I really need
Feeling incomplete without something
Everyone I know
The people that are important in life
Someone that i want to be.
Working towards a goal or a dream
Even though,
Despite not having any knowledge about something
I don't really know
Not having much understanding of anything
I better pick it up
Not wanting to miss out on something
Before I let it slip away
Not wanting something important to disappear
I better stick it out
Not giving up on something
Before I take another day.
Not wanting to waste time
Into now
Living in the present
Every word I say, fades out.
The ephemerality of spoken words
Can only open up your eyes
Seeing clearly when the situation changes
When the clouds break
When things clear up and become obvious
Can only feel alive
Experiencing life fully when everything is uncertain
Even though the world shakes.
Despite the difficulties and ups-and-downs of life
Every night
A regular occurrence
You're in my quiet, sateen, light.
A peaceful moment with someone unattainable
Can I hold you close
Wanting something that is just out of reach
To a rather full moon kiss.
A romantic and complete moment under the moonlight
Everything I know
All the knowledge and experiences accumulated over time
I don't even know who it is
Feeling lost despite everything learned
It all falls through
Everything falling apart despite efforts
I'm here and I hear you.
Being present and listening to someone else's problems
Do you hear me?
Wondering if the message is getting through
Cause I need to, just to reach you
Wanting to connect with someone on a deeper level
Coming clearly?
Asking if the message is understandable
Am I hollow?
Feeling empty and alone
Just an echo?
Worrying about being forgotten
It's just another day
A day like any other
And every single word I say, fades out.
The inevitability of the impermanence of life
Hello?)Echo
A greeting to one's own echo or reflection
We come and we go
The cyclical nature of human existence
No, I don't want to be just another
Not wanting to blend in with the crowd
(Do you hear me?)Echo
Repeating the message
Echo-ooo
The lingering effect of something in the present
