Pale Horse Lyrics

Lyric discussion by EternalTearsOfSorrow 

Cover art for Pale Horse lyrics by Chevelle

This track is generally interpreted as a reflection on the feeling of being overwhelmed by negativity and the potential for self-destruction. The "pale horse" likely references to the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, representing death and pestilence, and the song explores themes of being consumed by darkness and struggling to escape its grasp. (The Pale Horse as a Symbol: In the Book of Revelation, the Pale Horse is ridden by Death and followed by Hades, symbolizing destruction and decay. This imagery is central to the song's atmosphere and lyrical content.)
