Days & Nights in the Forest
Deerhoof Lyrics

Days & Nights in the Forest is a hauntingly beautiful song by indie rock band Deerhoof. The opening lines of the song are somewhat cryptic, but they become clearer as the song progresses. The lyrics seem to capture a sense of intimacy and closeness between two people, perhaps even lovers or friends. The singer suggests that they will play a game together, just as they did yesterday, while laying heart to heart. The use of the word "heart" in this context, creates a sense of vulnerability and depth to the relationship being described.

As the song progresses, the lyrics start to become more surreal and abstract. The singer describes their journey into the forest and the strange things they encounter there. The forest becomes a kind of dreamscape where reality and fantasy merge together. The song seems to capture the feelings of wonder and confusion that come with exploring new territory- both physically and emotionally. The final lines of the song bring everything together, as the singer declares that they will "walk forever, steadily into the fog." This line suggests a kind of commitment to the unknown- both in terms of the journey through the forest and the emotional journey of the relationship.
