Songfacts®:

"Horses" can be symbols of the 5 senses in some Eastern philosophy. These senses are what keep us in the world - give us a sense of existence. Raising above these senses, you are leaving the "horses" behind. Perhaps the singer has been so affected by a loss or something that they have decided to leave the senses of emotion, or "Fly over the horses." >>>

Kevin Cantrell from Lenoir City, TnSo I'm an AGM at a popular fast food chain and my GM had to go and help another store about 2 counties over, so no one there knew him from Adam!
I wasn't there, but my opinion is he's credible and a trusting friend of mine as well, but he told me he walked straight in towards the office and only said "Hi" once but nodded to the rest on his way to the office that had a little window that looked out over to the front counter...
...He was hoping they would have a Bluetooth speaker, which they did, cranks that song up all the way and proceeds to over apply chapstick as he walked out of there, to officially introduce himself to the employees!
Will from Boston, Magood song but it is hard not to picture a half naked ted levine as jame gumm dancing in the mirror. On an off topic did anybody notice that ted levine was in shutter island?
Brad from Long Island, NyJust a little FYI, Ted Levine, who played Buffalo Bill in "Silence" and is considerably exposed during this song, also plays detective Stottlemeyer on the show "Monk", which is a very funny show
Scott from Lapuente, CaTHIS SONG HAS NO REAL MEANING! THE BAND WAS JUST NAILED AND HAMMERED WHEN THEY SONG THIS!! THIS IS THE TRUTH!
Stephanie from Anaheim, CaThis song makes every part of me and thank lazzarus for this awesome and deep song its one of my most favorite songs ever.
Andrew from Brooklyn, NyWould you **** me?
I'd **** me.
I'd **** me so hard.

Thank you Q. Lazzarus for giving the insane a soundtrack. I always thought this was a Cure song. Apparently Johnathan Demme has used this song in a movie before Silence.
Cody from Janesville , WiIts fun to drive up next to people and stare at them when your playing this song really loud. but that aside its a great song
Racine from Truro, MaIn a way, I wish they never used this in Silence of the Lambs" because now I can't get the image of that creepy psychopath Buffalo Bill out of my head when I hear it. Still, it's a good song and I do love it.
Sonya from Wagoner, OkThe song is also in Married to the Mob and in Clerks 2
A.j. from Chicago, IlIt's also played in Silence of the Lambs when the wannabe-transexual killer Buffallo Bill is dancing half-naked. It's creepy.
