Horizon
Mammoth Volume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One step oh yeah
One step pity me -I'm sound asleep with her cloths on
One step lovely
One step eyes closed - congratulations on everything
One step damn you
One step trust me - I'll never tell you another lie
Time to go... Give it up, give it up
Time to go... Give it up
One step stranger - your mirror casts no reflection
One step oh yeah
One step looser - I hear your laughter around me
One step too much
The lyrics of the song "Horizon" by Mammoth Volume are beyond just words. Each line is filled with deep emotions and profound meanings. The repetition of "One step" throughout the song creates a sense of unease and emotional turmoil. The line "I've been afraid since I met you" indicates the overwhelming fear that the singer feels towards their significant other. Even though the relationship seems to be going well, there is an underlying feeling of distrust and insecurity. The line "I'm sound asleep with her clothes on" can be interpreted in different ways, but it suggests the element of deception, either towards others or oneself. The singer tries to hold on to the good memories, despite the doubts and fears.
The chorus, "Time to go... Give it up, give it up," signifies that the singer has reached a point where they can no longer continue the relationship. It's a moment of clarity where they understand that it's time to let go of the past and move on. The line "your mirror casts no reflection" is a metaphorical representation of the absence of self-reflection in the other person. The singer cannot find themselves in the other person as they lack the ability to be self-aware. The following line "I hear your laughter around me" suggests the haunting presence of the other person and the difficulty to let go.
Overall, "Horizon" by Mammoth Volume is a powerful expression of the complexity of human relationships. The lyrics give an insight into the emotional instability that comes with it and the struggles one goes through trying to hold on to what is not meant to be.
