New Horizons
Rameses B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The only thing that burns in hell
is the part of you that won't let go of your life
your memories, your attachments
they burn them all away
but they're not punishing you, he said
they're freeing your soul

If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on
you see devils tearing your life away
but if you've made your peace
then the devils are really angels
freeing you from the earth
so don't worry, okay?

The only thing that burns in hell
is the part of you that won't let go of your life
your memories, your attachments
they burn them all away
but they're not punishing you, he said
they're freeing your soul

If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on
you see devils tearing your life away
but if you've made your peace
then the devils are really angels
freeing you from the earth
it's just a matter of how you look at it is all
so don't worry, okay?

Overall Meaning

Rameses B's song "New Horizons" speaks about one's fear of death and the afterlife. The song's lyrics touch upon to the idea of individual attachments to the material world that must be released in order to embrace a new life. The opening lyrics stress that the only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that is unable to let go of your life, such as memories and attachments to the physical objects, and they need to be burnt away. However, the intention is not to punish but, instead, to liberate the soul.


The next verse advises listeners, suggesting that if one is afraid of death or loss and continues to hold on, one may see their life being ripped apart by demons. However, he claims that the same devils can become messengers of peace, helping one move from this physical world to the afterlife. Moreover, when a person has made peace with his death, devils become angels that finally release that person from earthly misery, transitioning into the heavenly abode. The final line of the song encourages the audience not to worry, suggesting that death is only about how one looks at it.

@bearcolombia

lol "Rameses B is newcomer to the scene". Although it's been only several months of catching up to Sheepy by listening to each and every one of his uploads over the years, there is a sense of nostalgia reading these video descriptions from only a couple years ago.
