Verse 1

Is it hopeless to keep hoping or

Do I resign as a misanthrope

If it weren't for the love of my people

I would have given up long ago

Have faith in humanity

The optimist says it's getting better than ever

Historian argues we've had it worse

The masses have seen nothing, heard nothing again

A fire here, a hotspot there

The ash blows into the backyard

Look at the geopolitical map

Verse 1

Or how to bring everything back to our own plate

I remain positive, that's for sure

Verse 1

Yet I fear for tomorrow nonetheless

Are we ready for a new beginning

I don't know today, unfortunately, maybe tomorrow

It's been a long

Time ago

That as a child I thought I could do magic

But, this fight

Is famously too heavy

I didn't foresee that back then

After years of my crooked stories

I sit with my hands in my hair

Nodding my head no no no

I try a lot but it's not going my way

Surrounded by problems, I follow the melody

The tones are my steps until I can see the horizon

Still searching for my philosophy

But I'm not such a great thinker, no

And whether I already believe in something again

I always end up on the unbelievable

But you need something to frame

To place all happiness or misfortune

To feel one with the generation

For strength to turn the page

And we know that time is pressing

So I strike the string and pause it for a moment

I don't have answers, only my song

To the soul of the world with word and melody

Wisdom knows it knows nothing at all

Maybe we should give it another day or two

Because we are not ready for a new beginning

I don't know today, unfortunately, maybe tomorrow

It's been a long

Time ago

That as a child I thought I could do magic

But, this fight

Is famously too heavy

I didn't foresee that back then

After years of my crooked stories

I sit with my hands in my hair

Nodding my head no no no

I try a lot but it's not going my way

Surrounded by problems, I follow the melody

The tones are my steps until I can see the horizon

SONG MEANING

“Horizon” is Tourist LeMC’s musical pep-talk to himself and to anyone who feels overwhelmed by the world. He looks at the news, sees fires near and far, and wonders if it is foolish to keep hoping. One moment he is a misanthrope ready to give up, the next he is buoyed by the love of his friends and family. The Belgian storyteller flips between history class – “we have had it worse” – and present-day anxiety, admitting he has no magic wand anymore. Yet each verse is a step on an invisible staircase, every note lifting him until he can just make out the horizon.

At its core, the song is about using music, optimism and shared humanity as a compass when you feel lost. Tourist LeMC confesses that big philosophies escape him, but a melody in his ear keeps him moving forward. He knows a fresh start is needed, even if it may not arrive today – maybe tomorrow. By blending honest doubt with gentle hope, “Horizon” turns personal frustration into a collective rallying cry: keep climbing, keep singing, and eventually the skyline of a brighter future will come into view. 🎶
