New Horizons
ipsYlon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
A breach where time ends
Will turn your species' sight
To new horizons
You helped them become stronger
They're greedy for detail
Consumed by selfish lies
And where to find a way out
Of what you've built yourself
You tried so hard to shout
But see that they are deaf
And where the light meets darkness
And where the sun turns red
You'll find the only answer
You cannot change their Fate
In the first paragraph, "A tempest in the mind" refers to internal turmoil and inner conflict. This could represent the struggles and challenges faced by individuals or societies as they grapple with their own thoughts and emotions. "A breach where time ends" indicates a moment of rupture or disruption that brings about a profound change. It hints at a shift in perspective that transcends the limitations of time and opens up new possibilities. "Will turn your species' sight to new horizons" suggests that these upheavals and moments of clarity have the potential to expand our understanding and perception of the world, leading us towards uncharted territories of growth and transformation.
The second paragraph portrays a cautionary tale about the consequences of empowering others. "You helped them become stronger" implies that there was a deliberate action from the singer's part to support and uplift those around them, but "they're greedy for detail" suggests that rather than using this newfound strength for good, the recipients have become consumed by their own selfish desires. "Consumed by selfish lies" alludes to how the pursuit of personal gain and self-interest has blinded them, leading to a world where both "greed and hate prevail." This could be a critique on the destructive nature of human nature, highlighting how our innate flaws often outweigh any positive growth we may achieve.
The third paragraph delves into the frustration of trying to break free from the constraints of a self-created reality. "And where to find a way out of what you've built yourself" suggests that the singer is desperately seeking an escape from the consequences of their own actions or the systems they have contributed to. "You tried so hard to shout" represents their attempts to voice their concerns and offer alternative perspectives, but "see that they are deaf" reflects the unwillingness of others to listen or acknowledge the need for change. This could speak to the resistance and apathy often encountered when trying to challenge established norms or confront oppressive systems.
The final paragraph introduces a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil. "And where the light meets darkness" and "where the sun turns red" signify those moments of immense crisis and upheaval. It is in these pivotal moments of chaos that the only answer lies. "You'll find the only answer" indicates that the truth or solution lies hidden within the very fabric of these extreme situations. However, the concluding line, "You cannot change their Fate," conveys a sense of resignation – an acceptance that no matter how hard one may try, the ultimate destiny of others is beyond their control. This suggests a recognition of the limits of individual agency and a realization that some outcomes may be predetermined or beyond influence.
