Pale Horse Lyrics
If I was listen to I'd turn back
Give up on my reasons
Forgive up the past
You think I'd swallow that?
Bearing weight in ceilings
Just to stop and ask of Thora Zine
Thora Zine, Thora Zine, Thora Zine
They give you this
They take away that
Thora Zine
There'll be no others
There'll be no long lost friends
Empty on the insides
Empty of a last pretense
To stand by on feeling of the end
So many lives
A runaway life
So many lies
When they locked you up they shut me out
Gave me the key so I could ahow you round
You were not allowed
Omens of the daydream
But caught as you're bound in Thora Zine
Thora Zine, Thora Zine, Thora Zine
They give you this
They take away that
Thora Zine
There'll be no rallies
There'll be no long lost friends
Caught on a spotlight running out of present tense
To fix by an feeling of an end
So many lives
A runaway life
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back pale horse
Give up on my reasons
Forgive up the past
You think I'd swallow that?
Bearing weight in ceilings
Just to stop and ask of Thora Zine
Thora Zine, Thora Zine, Thora Zine
They give you this
They take away that
Thora Zine
There'll be no long lost friends
Empty on the insides
Empty of a last pretense
To stand by on feeling of the end
So many lives
A runaway life
So many lies
When they locked you up they shut me out
Gave me the key so I could ahow you round
You were not allowed
Omens of the daydream
But caught as you're bound in Thora Zine
Thora Zine, Thora Zine, Thora Zine
They give you this
They take away that
Thora Zine
There'll be no long lost friends
Caught on a spotlight running out of present tense
To fix by an feeling of an end
So many lives
A runaway life
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back pale horse

i hate to say this EVERY single song, but this is so beautiful. "Please come back... please come back... Pale Horse.." the background vocals by Nicole are amazing. NO Reliance on power-chords, and REALLY good bass. for some reason, it doesn't sound like Billy's bass playing. Nicole definitely had a lot of influence in this album. it's not ALL Billy, like the other albums. other than that, this is just a REALLY catchy melody.
that's kind of what i get out of this song. it's got an upbeat to it, but the lyrics are kind of depressing. like 'Today'.
Agree with the take on Thorazine and I think that we're out of the "concept" portion fo the album.
Thorazine is Chlorpromazine ( it is marketed in the U.S. as Thorazine) and is used to treat schizophrenia.
In old horror movies that featured asylums you'd always have a character that just shuffled around everywhere, but went nowhere... that can be a side effect of Thorazine.

Pale Horse was the horse that was ridden by Death in Revolations.

Well, in the bible, "pale horse" literally represented the apocalypse or 'the end of the world'. Much to my understanding anyways.. So im guessing "Please come back, pale horse" would mean that the persona wanted the 'end' to come. Meaning he/she wanted to die. Very much anticipated when a person is being fed with drugs that can make you sicker than you ever was!

Thorazine, just like any other drug that is involve in seretonin adjustments, causes the mind of the patient to become less aggresive (mainly used to treat psychosis.) Thus "they give you this(the medication), they take away that(making you void of any feeling)" I can personally relate to the lyrics of this song as I experience the "numbness" that comes with taking antidepressants to take away the emotional torment. I feel almost as if i am engulfed in an apothic cavity/ a walking zombie.
