HORIZON Lyrics in English GIMS

Home / Lyrics Translation / GIMS / HORIZON

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song HORIZON by GIMS from French to English.

We keep asking the same questions waiting for other answers

We always think we're right, we look in one direction

We'd like to stop time, we'd want it with all our might

But just tell me who claims to look beyond the horizon

Yeah, I'd really like to believe it

If only, if only, I could

Yeah, I'd really like to see it

If only, if only, I could

Alone with my flaws, I hear an echo

This weight on my shoulders, hell is always the others

I knock, knock, knock, but nobody, nothing surprises me anymore

There's something off, may heaven forgive me

The era's charm is gone

The smell of the school hallways

We didn't see each other through a screen

Little kids acting like grown-ups

Tell me what's left when you pace around

Your principles for new codes

I chose to move on

Forget everything I'd left behind

Yeah, I'd really like to believe it

If only, if only, I could

Yeah, I'd really like to see it

If only, if only, I could

Alone with my flaws, I hear an echo

This weight on my shoulders, hell is always the others

I knock, knock, knock, but nobody, nothing surprises me anymore

There's something off, may heaven forgive me

Mama

Alone with the flaws

I've tried everything, it sounds wrong

Alone with the flaws, my ego, my ego

Alone with the flaws

I've tried everything, it sounds wrong

Alone with the flaws, my ego

Alone with my flaws I hear an echo

This weight on my shoulders, hell is always the others

I knock, knock, knock, but nobody, nothing surprises me anymore

There's something off, may heaven forgive me

Alone with my flaws

Mama

I knock, knock, knock, but nobody

SONG MEANING

GIMS invites us on a reflective journey where the horizon symbolizes everything we long for yet cannot quite see. He questions our habit of asking the same questions while expecting new answers, exposing the human tendency to believe we are always right and to look only in one direction. As he tries to "stop time" and peek beyond that distant line, the artist wrestles with nostalgia for school-day innocence, the weight of personal flaws, and the frustrating belief that “hell is always other people.”

The song balances realism and hope: GIMS knocks on metaphorical doors seeking change, comes face to face with his ego, and begs the sky for forgiveness. Despite disillusionment with changing social codes and digital facades, he ultimately chooses to move forward, determined to believe there is something brighter over that horizon. "HORIZON" is both a confession and a rallying cry—an anthem for anyone who has ever wished for a fresh start while carrying the echoes of the past on their shoulders.
