Horizon
Max Johann Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am in trouble if you are near
I never know when you disappear
Keep all your dumps by, give me your time now
I am in trouble if you're around
Can only backup when getting down
Am I your guest or is it a test, boy?
I'm feelin' dizzy, my visions unclear
Starting the function, I know I am here

Am I your guest or is it a test, boy?

You love me, you love me
In the dark, when we are hiding
Moon is rising, the horizon
You need me, you need me
Only when you feel like pleasing
Moon is rising, the horizon

Moon is rising, the horizon
You need me, you need me
Only when you feel like pleasing
Moon is rising, the horizon
You love me, you love me
Moon is rising, the horizon
You need me, you need me
Only when you feel like pleasing
Moon is rising, the horizon
You love me, you love me
In the dark, when we are hiding
Moon is rising, the horizon

I am in trouble if you are near
I never know when you disappear
Keep all your dumps by, give me your time now
I am in trouble if you're around
Can only backup when getting down
Am I your guest or is it a test, boy?
I'm feelin' dizzy, my visions unclear
Starting the function, I know I am here
Am I your guest or is it a test, boy?

You love me, you love me
In the dark, when we are hiding
Moon is rising, the horizon
You need me, you need me
Only when you feel like pleasing
Moon is rising, the horizon

Moon is rising, the horizon
You need me, you need me
Only when you feel like pleasing
Moon is rising, the horizon
You love me, you love me
Moon is rising, the horizon
You need me, you need me
Only when you feel like pleasing
Moon is rising, the horizon
You love me, you love me
In the dark, when we are hiding
Moon is rising, the horizon

Moon is rising, the horizon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Max Johann's song "Horizon" revolve around a complicated relationship between two people, where one is emotionally dependent on the other. The singer repeats how he feels in trouble if the other person is near because he never knows when they will disappear. Despite this, he craves their attention and company, asking them to "give me your time now." However, he is unsure whether he is merely a guest in their life or part of a test.

The chorus talks about how the other person only loves and needs him when it suits them, that is, only when they feel like pleasing or when they are in the dark, hiding. The moon rising and the horizon evoke a sense of fleetingness and transience in the relationship, suggesting that it's all temporary and might soon be over. Overall, the song highlights the complexity of human relationships, especially when one person is more invested than the other.
