Lux Interna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And into this night I slip
While blue branches
Break against the sky
The shadows pass
And the emptiness fills
While blue branches
Pull down the sky
And into this night
Of symbols I turn
And return to secrecy
A child's summer legacy
And return to secrecy
To lay down the ghost
In me
And into this night
Of symbols I burn
And pushing past misery
I will ignite this memory
And pushing past misery
This foolish gray tragedy
There are birds that dot
The horizon
There are times
When I just can't
Go on
There are moments
That empty all reason
With a season that
Dances towards ice
And into this night
Of symbols I turn
And return to secrecy
A child's summer legacy
I will return to secrecy
To lay down the ghost
In me
And into this night
Of symbols I burn
And pushing past misery
I will ignite this memory
And pushing past misery
This foolish gray tragedy
(I will go, alarmed at these dreams
alive and blue black screams
To the world below – the shadows in the snow
These pictures that wind, and bind the roots
Of ashen barked time
We ascend –
Now in substance,
Now in distance
Two small black scars
Hidden wounds
In a sea of stars
This victory is fleeting
Its hands holding
Then retreating
Before this arch of terrors
Bends back
Holds sway
Or sweeps this all
Beyond the bleak day
Sun fades
And the morning bleeds out
Swollen around the foliage
And bent into trees
These sounds and souls
On breath and breeze
Aching for release
A consistent thread
Winds our paths – entwined
In day – in dread…)
And into this night
Where the shadows
Pull tight
And into this night
We shall go…
The song "Horizon" by Lux Interna deals with the theme of transition, both inner and outer. The song's opening lines depict exhaustion and weariness, where the singer slips into the night to find solace. The blue branches breaking against the sky create a beautifully melancholic image, which enhances the feeling of emptiness within the singer. However, the serene moment reaches an unsettling point as the blue branches pull down the sky. Perhaps the singer's inner turmoil is causing the beautiful night to fall apart. The song's structure is repetitive in nature, emphasizing the singer's transition towards secrecy as a means to heal and calm the troubled mind.
The song goes on to illustrate the concept of pushing past misery and burning through symbols to ignite memories. The singer's past experiences and memories of a child's summer legacy, which the singer revisits in secrecy, help in laying down the ghost inside. The haunting ideas of a foolish gray tragedy will be replaced by a new, brighter perspective, as the singer moves forward. The narrative then touches upon hope and resilience, displaying the themes of rebirth and reinvention. There are moments that empty reason, but there are also times when we need to burn through symbols to illuminate the path ahead.
