The music of Sound Horizon is generally presented in omnibus style; all of their releases have been in the form of concept albums.

Both male and female vocals are utilized within Sound Horizon, with some singers being frequent collaborators. Usage of spoken word sections in the form of narration is common in their songs and can be heard in a variety of different languages. This narration is often reminiscent of anime due to the involvement of prominent voice actors/actresses in the group. A number of stylistic influences are also apparent in their music; these include progressive/symphonic rock, jazz, pop, opera, and metal.

Sound Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
──幻想とは詩を綴るような遊戯 タナトスは誰も逃がさない──
そこに在る風景…
闇へと続く道 虫の音 裸足の冒険者
そこに在る風景…
ランプの薄灯り 軋む廊下 真夜中の少女
屋根裏 埃まみれの小部屋 古びた玩具箱
そこに在る風景…
四色の闇 転がり落ちた玩具 残酷な遊戯
そこに在る風景…
偽りの玩具 壊れたマリオネット 月夜のナイフ
そこに在る風景…
後悔の玩具 銀色の馬車 吹雪のエレジ-
そこに在る風景…
願いの玩具 輪廻の砂時計 星空のポエム
そこに在る風景…
孤独の玩具 珊瑚の城 海底のプリズン

追憶は草原を渡る風の色
近過ぎて 遠過ぎて 届かない風景
繰返しタナトスに抱かれる夢
眠れない少女が見る風景…

The lyrics to Sound Horizon's song "Soko ni Aru Fukei" (There is a Landscape There) depict various scenes or landscapes that may evoke different emotions in the listener. The song starts with an introduction to the concept of fantasy or imagination, comparing it to the act of writing poetry. The first scene mentioned is a path leading into darkness, with the sounds of insects and a barefoot adventurer. This image may represent a journey into the unknown or a feeling of uncertainty.
The second scene introduces a lamp casting a dim light, a creaking corridor, and a girl wandering in the middle of the night. This setting may suggest a haunted house or a feeling of loneliness and desperation. The third scene describes a dusty attic room filled with old toys, while the fourth mentions a "cruel game" with rolling dice and fallen toys.
The following verses introduce different types of toys, each with its own characteristic and mood. The first type is a false or fake toy, a broken marionette holding a knife on a moonlit night. The second is a toy of regret, a silver carriage in a blizzard with an elegy in the background. The third is a toy of hope, an hourglass of reincarnation with a poem in the starry sky. Finally, there is a toy of solitude, a coral castle in an underwater prison.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Li Lu" several times, possibly as a vocalization of the different emotions and landscapes depicted in the song. The final verse talks about the colors of the wind crossing a plain of memories, with scenes that are both too close and too far to reach. The last line repeats the phrase "there is a landscape there," possibly signifying that these scenes exist only in the realm of imagination or memory.
Overall, the lyrics of "Soko ni Aru Fukei" evoke a sense of wonder, mystery, and sadness, depicting various landscapes that may represent different stages of life, emotions, or states of mind.
