forest eyes
Logh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this city has eyes
they keep me up at night
there's somebody there with eyes that stare
at night i dream a sleepless dream
small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side
like a forest at night this city has eyes
another night without sleep and another day without dreams
it's dark outside
it's almost night
the nights, they're all alike
they'll show when i close my eyes
for now i'll just sit tight
The song "Forest Eyes" by Logh speaks about the city, and the personification of it having "eyes" that keep the singer up at night. They describe the city as having "somebody there with eyes that stare" which makes them feel like they're "dreaming a sleepless dream". The imagery of small, hungry points of light surrounding them adds to the sense of foreboding and unease that the city creates. They describe it like being in the middle of a forest at night with eyes everywhere, creating a sense of being watched and followed. They mention how the lights seem to pan their walls like searchlights, and they cannot sleep or dream because of it.
