I.
Woe. Is Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Morning comes and darkness goes
But the walls around my heart
Don't deserve the riches of
Your bright and peaceful world

Your horizon
Shining bright every night
Your horizon comforts me

There's no one else in the know these days
About the milling crowds in our eyes
But it's when my eyes came straight away
That I know this much is true

Your horizon
Shining bright every night
Your horizon comforts me

Your horizon




Shining bright every night
You horizon comforts me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Woe, Is Me's "I." suggest a sense of isolation and despair. The singer is acknowledging the darkness that surrounds them, both in the physical sense of the morning shadows lifting and the metaphorical sense of the walls around their heart. They express a feeling of not deserving the rich and peaceful world that exists beyond their emotional barriers. However, they find some comfort in the idea of a bright horizon, which shines every night and seems to bring them solace.


The second verse of the song continues the theme of isolation, claiming that no one else truly understands the turmoil the singer feels. There are milling crowds in their eyes, suggesting a sense of chaos and confusion. But despite this, the singer has a moment of clarity - perhaps when they encounter the idea of the horizon - that makes them certain of something true.


Overall, the song seems to be touching on feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness, as well as the occasional glimmer of hope that can come from something as simple as a beautiful view.

Morning comes and darkness goes
The passing of time from night to day


But the walls around my heart
The emotional barriers in my heart


Don't deserve the riches of
Are not worthy of the good in life


Your bright and peaceful world
A place of happiness and tranquility


Your horizon
The endless possibilities of the future


Shining bright every night
A guiding light in times of darkness


Your horizon comforts me
The promise of a better future gives me hope


There's no one else in the know these days
No one understands the struggles I face


About the milling crowds in our eyes
The overwhelming emotions we feel


But it's when my eyes came straight away
In a moment of clarity


That I know this much is true
I realize my own truth
