The German Melodic Death Metal band HORRIZON was founded in the year 2005. After serveral member changes in the following years, HORRIZON signed a contract with Yonah Records in 2011 and released their debut album "Time for Revenge".
After playing several gigs in the spring and summer of 2012 (e. g. Metalfest West), Martin Gerloff and Peter Gedert once started composing songs for their second album "Dwelling Within" that was released in the spring of 2015.
Two official video clips were also released on YouTube:
Last Masquerade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1OP4bsV9ZA
From the Abyss of Hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykoTCV6yOJw
Unlike the debut album, "Dwelling Within" doesn't deal with Northern mythology at all. This time, the lyrics are focused on topics like obsession which is indicated by the album titel.
While playing lots of shows such as Metalfest West in 2012 and 2014 and a tour through Western Russia in the autumn of 2015, Martin and Peter wrote songs for the third studio album "World of Pain“ that is to be released in 2019.
As a little fortaste of what is to come, the music video on the song "Once in a While“ will already be released on YouTube in February.
Once in a While
Horrizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All sences feeling useless - He's the master of lies
It feels like sifting through empty pages
Seeking the bitter truth of the ages
Feeling the numbness inside
No more senses to be my guide
A thousand different colors by day and night
No more pain! - Together we're strong
Just once in a while - Until all sorrows are gone
Another night in the twilight zone
Almost carving my name into stone
"Never again!", I say with a smile
"Or maybe just once - Just once in a while..."
Enjoying the slow and smooth decay
All colors around just fading away
Stumbeling through etherial skies
Looking down on my immortal body that dies
Thunderclaps and lightning strikes
A thousand different colors by day and night
No more pain! - Together we're strong
Just once in a while - Until all sorrows are gone
The lyrics of Horrizon's song "Once in a While" delve into the theme of illusions and the constant battle against lies. The opening lines depict a person finding themselves in a state of confusion and feeling helpless as they navigate through the illusions of life, walking side by side with the devil who bears a deception on his face. The experience is numbing, and the devil is the master of lies, making it seem like the truth is out of reach. The person feels like they are sifting through empty pages, in search of the wisdom that comes with bitter truths that are found in the ages.
The song then takes a different turn, and the lyrics suggest that this person has given up the fight and succumbed to the illusions. The numbness inside has grown so much that they no longer have senses to guide them. The thunderclaps and lightning strikes represent the chaos and uncertainty of the world they find themselves in, and they can no longer endure the pain of their situation. The person finds solace in the company of the devil, and they are united against the adversities of life. They take comfort in knowing that just once in a while, they can come together, and maybe all their sorrows will be gone.
The lyrics are filled with imagery that showcases the inward battle we face in life. We are fighting against illusions, searching for the truth of ages, and trying to find a path to happiness. It delves into the theme of succumbing to our pressure and giving up, only to find comfort in the arms of our demons. The song gives us a glimpse of the struggles we face and reminds us that every devil was once an angel, and at times we find solace in their company.
