Bleak Horizons

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[7:10]

Waiting for the day to break
Another day another heavy cross to bear
The weight of your world upon me
Waiting for my chance to shine
Another place another time not on my side
The weight of my world upon me

Carry my cross every day
Carry your cross the same way
The weight of your world upon
The weight of my world upon me
[Repeat 2x]

No answers to my prayers, it seems
All my horizons they seem bleak
No answers to my prayers, it seems
Beyond the bleak remains unseen

Waiting as the nails go in
Another nail another sin that wasn't mine
The weight of your world upon me
Waiting as they hammer in
Another nail another sin I can't forgive
The weight of my world upon me

They hang me high every day
I hang you high in the same way
The weight of your world upon
The weight of my world upon me

No answers to my prayers, it seems...

[Guitar lead]

Waiting for the day to end
Another day another friend I'll never need
The weight of your world crushing me
Waiting for my chance to sleep
Another day another promise they can't keep
The weight of my world crushing me

Carry my cross every day
Carry your cross the same way
The weight of your world crushing
The weight of my world crushing me
[Repeat 2x]

No answers to my prayers, it seems...





No answers to my prayers, it seems
Beyond the bleak remains unseen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bleak Horizons" by dreamsfear speak about the struggles and burdens the singer faces in their life. The song starts with the singer waiting for a new day, knowing that it will bring another heavy burden that they must carry. They feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, and they are just waiting for their chance to shine. However, it seems that they are never in the right place or at the right time. They can't catch a break, and the burden seems never-ending.


The lyrics then shift to the feeling that the singer is carrying a cross every day, just like everyone else around them. They are not alone in their struggles, and they acknowledge that everyone has their own crosses to bear. Still, the weight of the world feels oppressive, and the singer feels like they are being crucified every day. They cannot pray their problems away, and their horizons seem bleak.


As the song progresses, it becomes more and more about the struggle and the weight that the singer is carrying. They feel like they are being punished for sins that are not theirs to bear. The weight of the world is crushing them, and they cannot escape it. There are no answers to their prayers, and they feel hopeless. The bleak horizon is all that they can see beyond the weight of the world they carry.
