THINKING OF YOU
Future of Forestry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too long, careful not to falter or disappear
But made heaven, made like starlight, made of love
Someone told you that your heart was gray
Since then I've been only thinking of you
When you're out of your amnesia day
You'll know how much I've been thinking of you
Edna, don't you wait until tomorrow to find your soul
Faint reminders still will follow everywhere you go
'Cause you are not alone
But made like heaven, made like starlight, made of love
Free your heart
Free your soul
See your light
Lose control
The lyrics of "Thinking of You" by Future of Forestry speak to a person named Edna who seems to be trapped in her own mind, trying to keep herself from faltering and disappearing. The singer acknowledges that someone may have told her that her heart was gray, possibly alluding to depression or a feeling of spiritual emptiness. However, the singer wants Edna to know that she is not alone and that she is made of love, heaven, and starlight. The lyrics encourage Edna to seek out her soul and not wait until tomorrow, reminding her that faint reminders of her true nature will follow her everywhere she goes. The chorus repeats the singer's sentiment of thinking about Edna constantly, even during her amnesia, and wanting her to free her heart and soul, see her light, and lose control.
