Horse
Sam Gopal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

White horse took me riding
Through a dark sea gliding
Iron hooves are dancing on the
Moon and mirror sliding

Chase me through tomorrow
But you know you'll never find me
Far away in land of mist with
Only words to hide me

'Cause I'm flying now with the eagles
I'm never coming down

White horse gallop softly
Gone away, could call tomorrow
Take me through a thousand years
Of happiness and sorrow

Ask me what the past is
But I don't know the answer
I only know the future is
A misty swirling dancer

All the time I'm flying and
The wind is lying there

Alright, take it back


? Nobody knows the reason
? That every passing season

Riding through the woodland
The trees are old and wise, yeah
But I can't ask the questions
'Cause the stars are in my eyes





Spurs are on my heels and the? in my mind
Hey, ho

Overall Meaning

The song "Horse" by Sam Gopal is a mystical journey that takes the listener through a dreamlike state where the imagery of a white horse takes them on a ride to another world. The lyrics describe the horse taking the singer on a journey through a dark sea while the iron hooves dance on the moon and mirror slides. The horse continues to lead the singer to a faraway land of mist where they are hidden with only words to guide them. The future is uncertain, but the singer is flying with the eagles and never coming down. The white horse gallops softly, and the singer could be called tomorrow while they experience a thousand years of happiness and sorrow.


The singer does not know the reason for the passing seasons or have answers to things that trees may know, but the stars are in their eyes, leaving them mesmerized at the beauty of their surroundings. Spurs are on their heels and something is on their mind, possibly the adventure that they just embarked on. The lyrics leave room for interpretation and can be seen as a spiritual awakening, a psychedelic drug-induced trip, or a metaphor for a life journey.
