TAEMIN – Horizon Lyrics (English Translation)

Horizon Lyrics

[Korean]

[Verse 1]
반복해 round and round
늘 같은 ending
색채를 잃은 eyes
그 시선에 담긴 난 dangerous
익숙함에 길들어
안주할 뿐이야
색다른 걸 찾아봐
내 안의 틀을 부숴

[Pre-Chorus]
끝없는 spatial horizon
사라진 현실의 경계
늘 잠겨있던 문을 열어

[Chorus]
Spatial horizon
찰나에 덮쳐 온 panic
아득히 빠져
마치 홀린 듯이
날 뒤덮어
드리우는 shadow
익숙했던 궤도를 벗어나
내 맘에 벌어진 괴리
닿을 것처럼
멀어지는 느낌
내 시야를 삼켜
Spatial horizon


[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
내 시야를 삼켜
Spatial horizon

[Verse 2]
혜성처럼 퍼져가
Can feel the light is coming
빛이 나를 감싸고
넘고 싶지 않던 저 지평선 넘어
다가온 별빛들이 구원 같아 hold me
홀린 듯해 그 끝이 어디든
더 두렵지 않아 난 no more time

[Refrain]
Oh, better days
Oh, better days come
‘Cause better days, ’cause better days (Oh)
Oh, better days
Oh, better days
잠겨있던 문을 열어

[Chorus]
Spatial horizon
찰나에 덮쳐 온 panic
아득히 빠져
마치 홀린 듯이
날 뒤덮어
드리우는 shadow
익숙했던 궤도를 벗어나
내 맘에 벌어진 괴리
닿을 것처럼
멀어지는 느낌
내 시야를 삼켜
Spatial horizon


[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
내 시야를 삼켜
Spatial horizon

[Refrain]
Oh, better days
Oh, better days come
‘Cause better days, ’cause better days (Oh)
Oh, better days
Oh, better days
내 시야를 삼켜
Spatial horizon

[English]

[Verse 1]
Going round and round in repetition
Always the same ending
Eyes that have lost their color
The gaze that holds me is dangerous
Tamed by familiarity
I’m just settling in
Look for something different
Break the mold inside me

[Pre-Chorus]
Endless spatial horizon
The boundaries of reality disappear
Open the door that’s always been locked

[Chorus]
Spatial horizon
Panic that crashes in an instant
Falling a long way down
As if I’m mesmerized
It engulfs me
A shadow cast over
Breaking away from the familiar orbit
A rift opens in my heart
As if I could reach it
But it feels like it’s drifting away
Swallowing my vision
Spatial horizon

[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Swallowing my vision
Spatial horizon


[Verse 2]
Spreading like a comet
Can feel the light is coming
The light wraps around me
Beyond the horizon I didn’t want to cross
The approaching starlight feels like salvation, hold me
I’m mesmerized, wherever the end may be
I’m not afraid anymore, no more time

[Refrain]
Oh, better days
Oh, better days come
‘Cause better days, ’cause better days (Oh)
Oh, better days
Oh, better days
Open the door that’s been locked

[Chorus]
Spatial horizon
Panic that crashes in an instant
Falling a long way down
As if I’m mesmerized
It engulfs me
A shadow cast over
Breaking away from the familiar orbit
A rift opens in my heart
As if I could reach it
But it feels like it’s drifting away
Swallowing my vision
Spatial horizon

[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Swallowing my vision
Spatial horizon

[Refrain]
Oh, better days
Oh, better days come
‘Cause better days, ’cause better days (Oh)
Oh, better days
Oh, better days
Swallowing my vision
Spatial horizon

Horizon Song Meaning

Horizon by TAEMIN appears to delve into themes of existential exploration, change, and the struggle to break free from the monotony of life.

Here is the detailed meaning of the song “Horizon”:

[Verse 1]
The first verse starts with the repetition of “Going round and round in repetition, Always the same ending,” which suggests a sense of stagnation or being stuck in a cycle. The lines “Eyes that have lost their color, The gaze that holds me is dangerous” indicate a loss of vitality or passion, and the danger in the gaze could symbolize a realization that this cyclical existence is harmful or unsustainable. “Tamed by familiarity, I’m just settling in” portrays a sense of resignation to this repetitive pattern, but there’s a glimmer of a desire for change with “Look for something different, Break the mold inside me.” The artist wants to break free from this pattern, to rediscover vibrancy and purpose.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus introduces the idea of an “Endless spatial horizon,” which can symbolize infinite possibilities or uncharted territories beyond the mundane reality. “The boundaries of reality disappear” suggests that the artist is ready to move beyond their current limitations or constraints, seeking something beyond the known. The line “Open the door that’s always been locked” represents a desire for access to new experiences or a different state of being, which has been inaccessible until now.


[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the term “Spatial horizon,” which reinforces the idea of exploring unknown territories or dimensions. “Panic that crashes in an instant” reflects a sudden fear or anxiety that accompanies stepping into the unknown. “Falling a long way down” evokes a sensation of losing control, but “As if I’m mesmerized, It engulfs me” suggests a paradox where the fear is accompanied by fascination or enchantment. The “shadow cast over” could symbolize doubt or uncertainty, while “Breaking away from the familiar orbit” suggests breaking free from old habits or constraints. “A rift opens in my heart” might indicate inner turmoil or emotional conflict as the speaker grapples with change, and “As if I could reach it, But it feels like it’s drifting away” reflects the frustration of trying to attain something elusive. The final line, “Swallowing my vision,” suggests that the new, unfamiliar reality is overwhelming or all-consuming.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus consists of repeated “Woah-oh” phrases, which seem to express a mix of awe, apprehension, and perhaps a sense of wonder or realization. The line “Swallowing my vision” is reiterated, emphasizing how this journey or experience into the “spatial horizon” dominates the speaker’s perception and understanding.

[Verse 2]
The second verse adds more vivid imagery, comparing the change to a comet spreading across the sky, suggesting something fast-moving, intense, and impactful. “Can feel the light is coming, The light wraps around me” suggests a sense of enlightenment, awakening, or the arrival of clarity. However, “Beyond the horizon I didn’t want to cross” implies that this is not a journey the artist initially wanted or was prepared to undertake. Yet, “The approaching starlight feels like salvation, hold me” indicates that despite the initial reluctance, this new direction feels redemptive or transformative. The line “I’m mesmerized, wherever the end may be” suggests a surrender to the unknown, while “I’m not afraid anymore, no more time” shows a newfound courage or urgency to embrace the future.

[Refrain]
The refrain, “Oh, better days,” is a hopeful mantra, suggesting optimism for the future. The repeated call for “better days” reflects a longing for improvement or a brighter tomorrow, possibly signifying an end to the old patterns and a hope for renewal. The phrase “Open the door that’s been locked” returns, reiterating the theme of breaking free from limitations or accessing new opportunities.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the themes of fear, fascination, and the tumultuous journey of breaking free from familiarity. The repetition suggests that the artist is continually grappling with these emotions, reflecting the ongoing nature of this personal transformation.

[Post-Chorus]
Again, the post-chorus repeats with “Woah-oh” sounds and the line “Swallowing my vision,” further emphasizing the all-consuming nature of this new path. The repetition of these elements indicates that this experience is profound and persistent, deeply affecting the artist’s perspective.

[Refrain]
The refrain is repeated, reinforcing the speaker’s hope for “better days” and a brighter future. It suggests a continued longing for positive change and a reaffirmation of their determination to open the “locked door,” pushing through barriers toward new experiences.
