Pale Horses Lyrics
Put me on the train
send me back to my home
Couldn't live without you
when I tried to roam
Put me by the window,
let me see outside
Looking at all the places,
where all my family died
Leave me by the church yard
Leave me on my own,
The sun will come and take me,
Back to my old home.
Put me by the window,
let me see outside
Looking at all the places,
where all my family died
Put me on the train,
Send me back to my home (x 7)
send me back to my home
Couldn't live without you
when I tried to roam
let me see outside
Looking at all the places,
where all my family died
Leave me on my own,
The sun will come and take me,
Back to my old home.
let me see outside
Looking at all the places,
where all my family died
Send me back to my home (x 7)

when i heard this song i imagined a war victim...
Exactly what I thought. Like, the apparition of a war victim, whose "family" perhaps was fellow soldiers who made it on the train back home.

This is one of those songs with an odd line that sounds like something ridiculous.
"where all my family died"... sounds like: "come on family guy" lol.
pale horses... i looked for it, and it came the death on a pale horse.
so, y re-read the lyrics, and came to the conclusion that this song is about suicide. more especificaly "dying on sorrow" , a goodbye letter.
it should say "I re-red" .
BTW: Moby said that this album in particular is connected from beginning to the end, so the rest of the songs probably talk about something similar
U.u ...RE-READ
The first thing I thought of was overall anguish and loss, like the main character had lost his family/friends and was trying to get that love he lost back, but realized in the end that losing the most important people in your life is hard to reverse. The alien in the video kept trying to make himself happy by fabricating joyful experiences, but the universe erased those quickly and deepened his depressed state. I listened to this song a lot when I was so bogged down by school and had kind of an emotional separation from my family for a little while; I had basically lost what little happiness I had and that was tough to handle. I also think this song especially alludes to death and suicide.
