In the Forest
Forever Slave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nymphs protect this world
Over the stormwood waits
The light is far
The rain doesn't stop
My solitude is near
Nymphs start to
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Your dark kingdom come
May the realm of darkness that you reign over come forth
Nymphs protect this world
Nymphs safeguard and watch over this realm
Over the stormwood waits
Beyond the forest of misfortune lies a waiting danger
The light is far
I am far from the positive and good things in life
The rain doesn't stop
The oppressive sadness and despair never ceases
My solitude is near
I am nearing complete isolation from the world
Nymphs start to
The nymphs begin to
Sing to me
Sing to me
They whisper to me my name
They discreetly utter my name to me
Don't stop, Alice, this symphony!
Keep this music and harmony going, Alice!
Don't tell my name nevermore
Never reveal my true identity again
Maybe you leave for this long way
Perhaps you'll depart on this lengthy journey
There is a way to a second Hell
There exists a path leading to another underworld
