1) Horses is a Belgian five-piece indie band, fronted by singer-songwriter Bert Vliegen. A self-titled EP was released in 2010, and in october 2013 the debut full-length 'Clear Crystal Air' came out on PIAS Recordings.
2) Horses was a Los Angeles country psych group who released a single record for White Whale Records in 1969. The group was instigated by songwriters John Carter and Tom Gilbert, who had found previous success with the group Strawberry Alarm Clock. Inspiration for Horses came from popular west coast groups such as Moby Grape, Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds, who were taking psychedelic rock and merging it with traditional American musical stylings. Horses consisted of Don Johnson (of Miami Vice fame) on vocals, Dave Torbert on bass, Matt kelly on guitar and harmonica, Scott Quigley on lead guitar, and Chris Herold on drums. Due to a lack of promotion, two lost singles and internal band conflict, the group broke up following a single album, which has become an extremely obscure collector's item. Revola Records reissued the eponymous Horses album in 2003 with bonus tracks gathered from Carter and Gilbert's earlier project, a failed psychedelic pop group called the Rainy Daze.
3) Horses is a six piece band based in Gothenburg, Sweden. In a cool mix of hot riffs and licks, blues vibes and calmer tunes that make you wanna cry your heart and soul out, they touch their audience.
4) Horses is also a rock band made up of three guys of punk and indie rock backgrounds from Cape Breton, NS, though they currently reside in Toronto.
Informed by spending their formative years in various discordant, DIY pursuits, the resulting music is stripped down and honest, reflecting a storytelling songwriting tradition that emphasizes the experiences of everyday people. These characters fall in love, think about death, and make choices that can be desperate and hopeful at the same time. The music underscoring these stories is as unrefined and angular as it is melodic and anthemic in attempting be as direct as possible in its delivery.
5) Horses was a band formed by Dan Caldas, Hugh McElroy, and Mike Kanin from Black Eyes and Fiona Griffin from Et At It in 2004. An EP titled '4 5 6 7' was sold on a weekend tour with Q and not U, Food For Animals, and Manhunter. Three unreleased tracks were made available through Ruffian Records after the band's dissolution.

Horses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They can't find you for the moment
Then for all past efforts
They're buried deep beneath
Your heart and somewhere in your stomach
And hatred for all others
When awful people they surround you
Well, eh, they just like monsters
They come to feed on me
Giant little animals to feed
Though
To say "we got much hope"
"If I am lost, it's only for a little while"
Oh
A treat for all these problems
They can't find us for the moment
Then for all past effort
They're buried deep beneath
Our hearts and somewhere in our stomachs
And hatred for all others
And awful people, they surround you
Eh, they just like monsters
They come to feed on us
Giant little animals for us
Though
To say "we got much hope"
"If I am lost it's only for a little while"
And though
To say "we got much hope"
"If I am lost it's only for a little while"
"If I am lost it's only for a little while"
"If I am lost it's only for a little while"
The song "Monsters" by Horses is about dealing with personal struggles and the negative impact that other people can have on a person's life. The lyrics describe how problems can be temporarily forgotten through indulgence, but eventually resurface and manifest physically in the body as deep-seated issues. The mention of "hatred for all others" implies that there is resentment towards the people who have caused these problems, but at the same time, there is a feeling of helplessness against their influence. The repetition of the line "they just like monsters" emphasizes the idea that these individuals are predatory and harmful.
The chorus ("To say 'we got much hope' / 'If I am lost, it's only for a little while'") is a hopeful declaration that even in the face of difficulties and feelings of defeat, there is still a chance for things to improve. The phrase "if I am lost" suggests that the singer is in a state of confusion or disorientation, but the fact that it is only temporary offers a glimmer of optimism. The use of the plural pronoun "we" instead of "I" in the chorus indicates that these struggles are not unique to one person, but rather a collective experience.
Overall, "Monsters" is a introspective and emotive song that touches on universal themes of pain, resilience, and hope.
