About This Track

'Horses' by Mallrat is a 2025 pop track from the album 'Light hit my face like a straight right'. The lyrics look at passing time from a platform, clocking routines and strangers while dwelling on the possibility of bringing someone back, as the narrator “save[s] you a seat”. It is wistful and quietly insistent, moving between detached observation and the sudden ache of asking whether anything can be reversed.

Lyrics

Horses

Drive past the station and it looks the same
I wonder how many faces have changed
And if I sat down on platform two
Could that bring back you?

I'll sit by the window and save you a seat
Watch all the people and learn their routines
Today doesn't feel like a unit of time
Can you wake me up at the end of the line?

Hey, I'm right here
I look different now, do you remember?
Hey, don't you see me?
I look different now, do you remember?

Go by the racetrack to help with the horses
Pull me away with invisible forces
Got used to the drought, now get used to the flood
The river will swallow this whole city up

So I'm looking for pools and I'm climbing a fence
Can breaking these rules change this chain of events?
I'm holding my breath, and I won't let them help
Can somebody let me out of myself?

Hey, I'm right here
I look different now, do you remember?
Hey, don't you see me?
I look different now, do you remember?

Can somebody let me out of myself?
(Hey, don't you see me?)
Can somebody let me out of myself?
Can somebody let me out of myself?
(Do you remember?)
Can somebody let me out of myself?
(Hey, don't you see me?)
Can somebody let me out of myself?
Can somebody let me out of myself?
(Do you remember?)

Can somebody let me out of myself?
Can somebody let me out of myself?
Can somebody let me out of myself?
