Very unassuming, Adam is captivating using vocal loops and sparse guitar chords while Sam completes their sound with perfectly disciplined beats and harmonies.
Powerful and original, a live show with A Dead Forest Index will make your spine tingle and give you a feeling like crying and smiling at the same time.
Distance
A Dead Forest Index Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daylights over
Remain here with me now
Turning the distance into a pattern
Behold the memory offer resistance
Dressed like the serpent under the ashes
A sweat from the alter casting the stilted
Endlessly illuminated
Endlessly illuminated
Endlessly illuminated
Turning the distance into a pattern
Behold the memory offer resistance
Dressed like the serpent under the ashes
A swell from the alter casting the stilted
Nothing seem simular away from the option
Cut from the center
My vision double
We watch the candle burn in the distance
We watch outline dance in the distance
The opening line "Buryyyyy" can be interpreted in different ways, but it primarily represents an action of covering or hiding something, which sets the tone for the rest of the song. "Daylights over" can be read as a metaphorical representation of the end of a day or the end of something significant. The following line "Remain here with me now" can be seen as a plea to hold onto something important before it's gone, which creates a sense of urgency in the song.
The concept of distance is a recurring theme throughout the lyrics. The phrase "Turning the distance into a pattern" can be a reference to finding comfort in repetition, a way to make sense of the distance, or an attempt to bridge the gap between two people. The line "Behold the memory offer resistance" may imply that the memory is resisting or pushing back against something, making it difficult to move on or let go. The reference to a serpent can be interpreted as something sneaky or deceiving, possibly hinting at a betrayal or an untrustworthy individual.
The repeated phrase "Endlessly illuminated" can represent a source of light, whether it be from a candle, the sun, or a metaphorical light. It could be a symbol of hope or a way to guide someone through the darkness. The image of watching a candle burn in the distance and seeing an outline dance emphasizes the idea of distance and the separation between two people, while also conveying a sense of hope and beauty in the midst of it.
