In an interview with Clash Magazine, Yehan Jehan explained the meaning behind the song Swallow the Horizon, stating it was a salute to the regenerative powers of the universe, to the sun goddesses of ancient (and modern) belief, and the power of women.
[Verse 1]
Gotta get to this place
You know I haven't been
I hear the call
I'm looking to get in
Dropped like a fool
Breathless, wasted away
To all I would say
Let me go through
[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow the horizon
At the end of every day
All these hidden forces
Pulling me and her away
Bringing on the cold, cold blanket night
Until all past becomes out of sight
[Chorus]
She watched me take a look at the
Open gates and now as I follow
Hurt in the valley
Is this a rapture?
I'm learning
I'm learning to feel again
[Verse 2]
Watched her take a look at the
One she knew and what this had come to
Inside the valley
Is this a rapture?
I'm learning
I'm learning to feel again
[Verse 3]
I lit the fire
Whispers coming nearer
Through the jungle
This what I came for
Light from a match, faces
Said it to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow the horizon
At the end of every day
All these hidden forces
Pulling me and her away
Bringing on the cold, cold blanket night
Until all past is out of sight
[Chorus]
She watched me take a look at the
Open gates and now as I follow
Hurt in the valley
Is this a rapture
I'm learning
I'm learning to feel again
Watched me take a look at the
One she knew and what this had come to
Inside the valley
Is this a rapture?
I'm learning
I'm learning to feel again
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
She watched me take a look at the
Open gates and now as I follow
Hurt in the valley
Is this a rapture?
I'm learning
I'm learning to feel again
Watched her take a look at the
One she knew and what this had come to
(I'm learning to feel again) [x2]

“These female characters hold a higher power than me or any man. They’re guiding forces. I’m all up for that, to show that it’s balancing out, it’s changing. The world has been so male dominated and I’m up for it being the opposite. Female energy is more healing for the world, it’s male energy that’...
