Dark Horizon
Operatika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weary spuls fell to rest
Grand illusions of devotion -
The Sailor's never-ending quest
Secrets unspoken,
Stories untold...
Brought you the glories
Across the dreaded sea
Far from the distance
Black Sail's existence
Will never set you free
Fearing no treason
The edge of reason
Closer with every wave
All countless treasure
Beyond the measure
Took you straight to the grave
Sailing to the dark horizon
Under the spell of endless times
Held a hostage by the waters -
The price to pay for all your crimes
Secrets unspoken,
Stories untold...
All fearful stories
Brought you the glories
Across the dreaded sea
Far from the distance
Black Sail's existence
Will never set you free
Fearing no treason
The edge of reason
Closer with every wave
All countless treasure
Beyond the measure
Took you straight to the grave
The lyrics to Operatika's song "Dark Horizon" paint a vivid picture of a sailor's journey, which ultimately leads him to his demise. The opening lines describe the lonely and cold setting of the ocean, where the sailor's weary soul falls to rest. The sailor is driven by grand illusions of devotion, always chasing an unattainable goal, which is his never-ending quest. The lyrics suggest that the sailor is on a journey, a dangerous one, where the stakes are high, and the price for his crimes is death, which he eventually pays.
The chorus of the song implies that the sailor's journey was a solitary one, a voyage ridden with fear and uncertainty. He sailed under the spell of endless times, held hostage by the waters, and was marked by the grim reaper for his sins. The lyrics also suggest that the sailor was fearless and determined, believing that he was beyond reproach and would do anything to get what he wanted, even if it meant sacrificing his life. However, his greed for countless treasure ultimately led to his doom.
Overall, "Dark Horizon" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the consequences of our actions.
