In the Forest
Forever Slave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your dark kingdom come
Nymphs protect this world
Over the stormwood waits
The light is far
The rain doesn't stop
My solitude is near

Nymphs start to
Sing to me
They whisper to me my name

Don't stop, Alice, this symphony!
Don't tell my name nevermore





Maybe you leave for this long way
There is a way to a second Hell

Overall Meaning

The song "In the Forest" by Forever Slave is a beautifully crafted piece that paints a dark picture of a world we can only imagine. The first verse, "Your dark kingdom come, Nymphs protect this world, Over the stormwood waits, The light is far, The rain doesn't stop, My solitude is near," introduces the listener to a kingdom consumed by darkness that is protected by the supernatural beings called Nymphs. The light seems to be gone and the rain keeps falling, setting a bleak tone for the song. The phrase "My solitude is near" suggests that the singer feels alone and perhaps lost in this dark, foreboding world.


As the song progresses, we hear the Nymphs singing to the singer, whispering their name. The repetition of the phrase "Don't stop, Alice, this symphony! Don't tell my name nevermore" creates a haunting effect, as if the singer is caught in a trance or spell. The name Alice could be a reference to Alice in Wonderland, the character who also finds herself in a surreal and otherworldly place.


The final verse, "Maybe you leave for this long way, There is a way to a second Hell," further emphasizes the sense of foreboding and danger in this world. It suggests that leaving this place is difficult, and that there is another, even worse place that could be waiting. The song ends on a mysterious and open note, leaving the listener to wonder about the fate of the singer in this dark world of Nymphs and rain.
