Horizons
Serma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and oh whats left of me is washed away in her seas.
Her last smiles stained, church windows on the brightest days
how it fades and fades, the suns with her on the horizon.
Looks like you've been played, there's no winners in her games.
And you can role your dice again, but you can't see in darkness.
No matter what paths I take, I seem to make the same mistakes
as I watch myself trip on broken paths to broken homes.
'cuz envy can't be seen.
I know this guy, they say he sings in rhymes, they say he hates me and all those things trapped inside of my mind.
I see him wherever I go, he's always staring from shop windows and he follows me everywhere I go.
He trips and falls on all those things I've left behind
and he's closing in on me
and I've run out of time.
'cuz people say we're similar, the more I think the more it's clearer and when I wake he's in my room staring at me in the mirror.
And I've cried all the colours of love, with tears so drenched in green and my smile oh it looks empty cuz envy can't be seen.
The last ships gone, I watched it sink on the horizon, there's nothing left to me, I'm just a shadow in her seas.
The lyrics of Serma's song "Horizons" depict a sense of loss, reflection, and the presence of inner struggles. The first paragraph sets the scene with the image of a ship disappearing into the horizon, symbolizing the departure of something significant from the singer's life. The phrase "washed away in her seas" suggests that the singer's identity is being eroded or transformed by their experiences.
The second paragraph delves into the singer's perception of a person or situation that has caused them pain. The reference to "her last smiles stained, church windows on the brightest days" hints at the fading happiness and innocence associated with a previous relationship or connection. The line "the suns with her on the horizon" conveys the idea that the source of light and goodness in the singer's life has departed. The singer also acknowledges that in this particular game, there are no winners, indicating the destructiveness and futility of the situation.
The third paragraph reflects the singer's introspection and self-awareness. Despite their best efforts, they seem to repeatedly make the same mistakes. The image of tripping on broken paths to broken homes symbolizes their continuous journey towards unstable and unfulfilling relationships or situations. The repetition of tears symbolizes the depth of their emotional pain, with green symbolizing jealousy or envy. The singer's smile appears empty, as envy is an emotion that cannot be visibly seen.
The fourth paragraph introduces another character, possibly a representation of the singer's own self-doubt and self-hatred. This person they know is described as singing in rhymes and hating the singer along with the thoughts and emotions they carry within. The constant presence of this person, appearing everywhere the singer goes, suggests that they are haunted by their own insecurities. This person falls upon the obstacles and burdens the singer has left behind, closing in on them, leaving them feeling out of time and trapped.
The final lines return to the imagery of the departing ship and the singer's diminishing sense of self. They feel like a mere shadow in the vastness of this person's influence, emphasizing their feelings of insignificance. The repetition of "I've cried all the colors of love" highlights the depth of the singer's emotional turmoil, with green again representing envy. The empty smile signifies the inability to truly express happiness or contentment due to the overpowering presence of envy in their life.
Overall, "Horizons" explores themes of loss, self-reflection, the destructive power of envy, and the haunting presence of one's own insecurities. The lyrics paint a picture of emotional turmoil and a constant struggle to find oneself in the wake of significant departures.
