Horse and I Lyrics
by a mystic golden light.
My head soaked in river water.
I had been dressed in a coat of armor.
They called a horse out of the woodland.
"Take her there, through the desert shores."
They sang to me, "This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back now."
A banquet for the shadows.
Horse and I, we're dancers in the dark.
Came upon the headdress.
It was gilded, dark and golden.
The children sang.
I was so afraid I took it to my head and prayed.
They sang to me, "This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."
They sang to me, "This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."
There is no turn.
There is no turning back.
There is no turn.
There is no turning back.
There is no turn.
i read that Natasha said in an interview that a dream about a horse inspired her to pick up music. i guess this song might directly refer to that dream - 'you're the chosen one, there's no turning back' - that might've been the direct message then.
elizah is right.
natasha had a dream about a black horse coming to her window. she was to accept a quest. bloodreactor is somewhat right as well. this song also has ties with joan of arc, almost reflecting her quest.
just from what i've read, of course.
Going on from what keereerar said, apparently Natasha had this amazing dream, and woke up with all the lyrics and songs in her head... or something.
I love the driving, rhythmic harpsichord in this, it really makes the song
As odd as it might be, this song makes me think of so many different things: Equus (the play by Peter Shaffer), that old animated film about the boy who makes a snowman that comes to life and flies him to the north pole, The Master and Margarita (mostly when Margarita is being taken to Satan's Ball), and of course, Joan of Arc.
I think all that just goes to show Natasha knows how to tap into really strong mythic, iconic imagery but still make it her own. How many other people can get away with singing about being the chosen one these days? ;)
Whenever I listen to this song it takes me to this very dark fairy-tale-ish world full of kingdoms, nights and beasts... I just love it.
ahh so mystical- it's like a twisted fairytale.
The chorus is SO beautiful. I can't take it.
gorgeous vision of a mythic quest. I like the way the female protag has strength, the coat of armour, as well as the beauty of the headress.
it's a very lovely song. mysitcal. and I agree- kind of like a twisted fairytale.
Made me think Joan of ark.
