Acres
Visible horizon
Right where it starts it ends
When did we start the end?

Acres
Visible illusion
Where it starts it ends
Love like a sunset

    General CommentThe correct lyrics are (taken from the CD sheet) :

    Acres
    Visible horizon
    Right where it starts and ends
    When did we start the end?

    Acres
    Visible illusion
    Where it starts it ends
    Love like a sunset

    Cheers.

    General CommentI wanna say this is about a break up, but I'm not sure. "When did we start the end?" and "Love like a sunset" both make me think that this song is about the end of a long relationship. Love starts and ends in cycles just like the sunrise and sunset.

    My InterpretationMy interpretation of it is that a sunset is something that is beautiful. But when you see one starting you know it means it's ending soon.
    So, perhaps, this is about having strong feelings for someone, knowing that it'll never work out but going for it anyway. I'm sure many people have been in the situation where they have this immediate strong connection with someone but it burns out as quickly as it lit up and they foresaw exactly where it was going before it even began.

    My Interpretationwrote a short story based on this song awhile ago, i think i summed it up by saying "our love was like a sunset -- it was beautiful before it was gone"

    General CommentIsn't it:

    here comes
    visible horizon
    right where it starts it ends
    oh and then we start the end

    here comes
    a visible illusion
    oh, where it starts it ends

    love like a sunset

    General CommentIt's:

    day comes
    visible horizon
    right where it starts it ends
    oh and then we start the end.

    day comes
    a visible illusion
    oh where it starts it ends.

    Love like a sunset.


    "love like a sunset" at the end is the only correction that must be made - incredibly beautiful song

    My InterpretationThis song is so beautiful. I hate to cheapen it, but I can't help but think of a one night stand or friends with benefits. Like an illusion of love. You feel it only while it lasts, which isn't long. Or it could be about a relationship that ended as quickly as it started.

    General CommentI had this song on my ipod for the longest time before I listened to the whole thing. Its such a long song with a weird start. My favorite is the last 2 minutes. But I wouldn't say one night stand. BUt deff something along the lines of breaking up with someone you love and looking at the relationship as a whole "when did we start to end?" makes me think where did we go wrong? when did our happiness together start ending?
