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.
