A Forest
Bat for Lashes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again
In the song "A Forest" by Bat for Lashes, the singer invites the listener to come closer and see into the trees, to find the girl before it's too late. The dramatic tone of the lyrics, combined with the haunting melody, creates a sense of impending danger and mystery. The repetition of the lines "Just follow your eyes" and "Into the trees" emphasizes the urgency of the situation.
As the song progresses, the singer begins to hear the girl's voice calling out to her in the dark. She starts to run into the trees, but suddenly stops, realizing it's already too late - she's lost in the forest, alone. The final lines of the song reveal that the girl was never really there, and the singer is trapped in a perpetual cycle of running towards nothing, always ending up lost in the forest.

Come closer and see
Step closer and observe carefully
See into the trees
Observe the inside of the forest and its elements
Find the girl
Search for the female figure
While you can
Before it's too late
Come closer and see
Step closer and observe carefully
See into the dark
Observe the hidden areas that surround you
Just follow your eyes
Trust your instincts and intuition to guide you
Just follow your eyes
Trust your instincts and intuition to guide you
I hear her voice
I am perceiving sounds that seem to emanate from her
Calling my name
Uttering my name to grab my attention
The sound is deep
The sound is resonating from afar
In the dark
In the obscurity
I hear her voice
I am perceiving sounds that seem to emanate from her
And start to run
Embark on a journey with haste
Into the trees
Headed into the forest
Into the trees
Headed into the forest
Suddenly I stop
Abruptly ceased all movements
But I know it's too late
But realization sets in that it's already too late
I'm lost in a forest
Being in a state of confusion and disorientation in the forest
All alone
Without any assistance or company of others
The girl was never there
The female figure never existed
It's always the same
The situation stays consistent
I'm running towards nothing
He is running without any hope or goal
Again and again and again
Repeating the same pattern over and over

I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again...
