Horizons
Jesse Roper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don′t hear me, you don't see me
You don′t know I'm e'er around
I′m walking horizons wearing the starlight for disguise

You don′t hear me, you don't trust me
You don′t know I'm ever around
I travel horizons, shining the moonlight in your eyes (yeah)
Mm (yeah)

You don′t hear me, you don't see me
You don′t know I'm e'er around
I travel horizons wearing the starlight for disguise

You don′t know me, you don′t trust me
You don't know, know, know, know I′m e'er around
I travel horizons, shining the moonlight in your eyes (yeah)
Mm (yeah)

When I′m gone, I'm gone to stay
′Cause living here just ain't my way
And I'll be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, long, long gone
By the break of day, by the break of day

You don′t hear me, you don′t see me
You don't know I′m ever around
I travel horizons wearing the starlight for disguise (yeah)

You don't know me, you don′t trust me
You don't know, know, know, know I′m ever around




I travel horizons, shining the moonlight in your eyes (yeah)
Ooh (yeah)

The reference to traveling horizons and shining moonlight in the listener's eyes indicates a yearning for connection and understanding, even if it seems unattainable.

The lines "When I'm gone, I'm gone to stay, 'Cause living here just ain't my way" express a decisive departure from a place or situation that doesn't align with the singer's true self. The loneliness and longing expressed in the lyrics imply a struggle with feeling disconnected and unfulfilled in their current circumstances.
