Lost Horizons Lyrics

Cover art for Lost Horizons lyrics by Gin Blossoms

Perhaps the best song on a multi-platinum album. Never was released as a single, due to the alcohol-related suicide of Doug Hopkins and the poignancy of the lyrics. Very simply a wonderful song about being an alcoholic, and drinking both during celebration and tragedy (gardens and graves). Drinking in hopes of changing his outlook on his relationship, the world, and finally himself, but never finding happiness. "The last horizons I could see are now resigned to memories" symoblizes the final hope he had that things would change is finally gone. He's so brutally honest and candid about the pain he's in, and how badly he wants more. You don't need an eloquent vocabulary to make such beautiful lyrics A+

@imnoone No other song depicts pain and addiction so eloquently as this.
