Horizon Lyrics
Let me put the water in the bowl for your wounds, babe
Let me fill/feel you up with the fingers of love
You can't lose, babe
When you watch me play, does it feel bad darling when they choose me?
Say again, this place
Say again, this place
I broke my neck dancing to the edge of the world, babe
My mouth is wet, don't you forget it
Don't you lose me
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
I've gotta scratch it down
I never could amount
That's it, babe
I know the sugar's run out and I don't know what to say
Say again, this place
Say again, this place
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Every now and then I think about when you'll die, babe
There's a fall in my head, it floods what you said into the room, babe
I don't belong in the desert
Yes I can see it
Take me home, babe
Say it again, this place
Say again, this place
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, here is the horizon
You can't lose, babe
Say again, this place
Don't you lose me
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
I never could amount
That's it, babe
Say again, this place
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Yes I can see it
Take me home, babe
Say again, this place
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, and here is the horizon
Here is your princess, here is the horizon

To me this song is a heartfelt lament of a relationship now over. Here is your princess, and here is the horizon. Meaning here is your current “princess” as you might now refer to her but here (when performing live she often raises a hand to a higher point” here is your horizon. So here’s where you are now but your potential for relationship satisfaction is much higher.
Then the heartbreaking line “Every now and then I think about when you'll die, babe.” This slays me and I often have tears in my eyes because I sometimes look back on my own ex who I sincerely loved and wonder how one day she will pass away and I won’t be there to comfort her. Aldous Harding is one of those rare precious voices who can help us process powerful feelings of loss and love. If art exists to make us feel and process our emotions then this is successful art.
