Horizons
myles bullen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spent too much time in front of computer screens too
I spent too much time thinking about what others shouldn't do
I spent too much time thinking about what others are thinking about me
I spent too much time thinking about what others are thinking
I spent too much time in front of computer screens too
I spent too much time in front of my phone screen too
I spent too much time thinking about what others are thinking about me
I spent too much time thinking about what others are thinking
Who am I but a mirror to the sky
I've lived too short of a life to see so many people die
Addiction killing real people overdose every day
Feel the world getting cold parts of it are pure evil
Healing hands want to heal and want cure people
Cut out my earlobes when I don't want to hear people
Racist and homophobes divide and want to kill people
What's the deal people?
Mental illness is a spectacle
Glorify destruction
Self deprecating mental notes
Self reflecting
Death inside a stethoscope
Redirecting
Tell me that I'm not alone
Need perspective
Stuck inside a metronome
My heart is on its own beat
Rhythm skips when it thinks about its lost homies
That died feeling lonely
If I would of picked up that phone call, if only
Never knew that I be a suicide hotline
I know now, but I didn't know in time
I don't believe in a fictitious god
There's no giant guy chilling in the sky, no
I don't believe in a heaven or hell
But I believe right now
You have a story to tell
And your message could spread
The knowledge and experience
Could help someone get through their shit
You are the creator of your own reality
Let's never stop learning this world is our academy
We've been boxed in
To limit our beliefs
That's why we're lost in
This city full of greed
My dying has been
Filling me with grief
This music is my soul
It's healing me to peace
I've been feeling now I'm willing to be dealing with my pain
Hope you feel it when I speak, you feel it when you breathe
Turn that grief into gratitude




Be glad to live another day
And I hope you feel okay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Myles Bullen's song "Horizons" offer a reflection on the negative impact of spending too much time thinking about what others think and being consumed by digital devices. The repetition of phrases "I spent too much time in front of computer screens too" and "I spent too much time thinking about what others are thinking" emphasize this point throughout the song. The song, however, goes beyond the effects of technology and touches on deeper themes such as addiction, mental health, and the loss of loved ones.


The line "Addiction killing real people overdose every day" is a stark reminder of the opioid epidemic that has plagued the United States. The artist also acknowledges his own struggles with mental health by referencing "Self deprecating mental notes" and "Death inside a stethoscope." However, the song doesn't end on a hopeless note, as the artist encourages listeners to turn their grief into gratitude and realize their own power to create their reality.


Overall, "Horizons" is a poignant commentary on the struggles of modern society and a call to action for listeners to take control of their lives and help others who may be struggling.
