The Forest
Embrace the Unknown: Journey Through Fear in Nightlives' 'The Forest'
Lyrics
Face your fears and walk alone
Encouragement to confront fears and face challenges alone.
You'll never be quite the man you were back home
Suggesting that facing challenges may change one's character.
And just a second later
Emphasizing a quick transition or decision.
Take a deep deep breath
Advice to take a deep breath before proceeding.
Put pen to paper, and
Encouraging the act of expressing oneself through writing.
Draw the line, give me a sign
Call to make a clear decision and signal it.
Close your eyes, take your time
Encouragement to relax and be patient for insight.
It'll come to you
Assurance that understanding will come with time.
You'll never feel at ease
Suggesting a perpetual discomfort due to uncertainty.
Because you never know who could watching from the trees
Highlighting the constant fear of being observed or judged.
Clear your mind
Repetition for emphasis on clearing one's thoughts.
Clear your mind
-I'd set the forest on fire
Metaphorically expressing a destructive desire for change.
Just to watch it burn
-And see the flames climbing higher
-Everywhere I turn
-If you're a one way street
Comparing a relationship to a collision, predicting a negative outcome.
Then I'm a car crash
-But I bet you won't stick around
-To see the backlash
-And when you feel in danger
Warning of being alone in times of danger.
Take a deep deep breath
-I won't be there to save you, just
-Clear your mind
Promising support and refusal to let someone fall behind.
I'll never stop or let you fall behind
-Clear your mind
-I'll never let you fall behind
-I'd set the forest on fire
Reiteration of the destructive desire for change, emphasizing its omnipresence.
Just to watch it burn
-And see the flames climbing higher
-Everywhere I turn
-And you'll never know
Expressing uncertainty and the potential for a future return.
And you'll never learn
-When the timing is right
-Maybe we can return
-We'll set the forest on fire
Reaffirming the destructive desire for change.
Just to watch it burn
-Just to watch it burn
-Close your eyes
Encouragement to reflect and understand one's eventual separation.
Take your time
-And know that one day
-You'll be left behind
-I'd set the forest on fire
Restating the destructive desire for change, emphasizing its impact.
just to watch it burn
-And see the flames climbing higher
-Everywhere I turn
-And you'll never know
Expressing ongoing lack of knowledge and a potential future opportunity.
And you'll never learn
-When the timing is right
-Maybe we can return
-We set the forest on fire
Final reaffirmation of the destructive desire for change and its aftermath.
Just to watch it burn
-Just to watch it burn
-
