The Forest
Lucas & Steve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw you write that fiction down
into the brain
where my heart laid
the room sweat tears into my eyes as I wrote down those stalker lies
I miss you still
I miss you more than you miss me but you miss me
you miss me
you miss me
you cut yourself
while Chandler laughs
you drip blood on our wedding cake but I'll make sure I'm barely there so you don't have to feel ashamed you don't have to feel ashamed you don't have to feel ashamed you don't have to feel ashamed
The lyrics to Lucas & Steve’s song “The Forest” paint a vivid tale of a king who once reigned in peace and love, crossing paths with the ancient forest of elves. In the first paragraph, we learn of this king and his connection to the forest that is both mystical and magical. He sees visions of the land and its inhabitants in his dreams, which guide him along the path to the forest.
The second verse expresses a sense of urgency as the king's soul is about to be taken by the shadows. The lyrics speak of the starfire burning on the silent lake and how sleep is welcomed thanks to the dear elves. A sense of hope is offered as the timespell clears the king’s last sin, and he rides on the comet to be set free.
Finally, the song ends with an invitation to a new hero to venture into the twilight lands of the north where the laments of suffering souls rise. This call-to-action leaves open the possibility for the story to continue, with the hope that another hero will step forward to reign in peace and love like the king before him.
Overall, “The Forest” offers a unique blend of fantasy, adventure, and spirituality, transporting the listener to a far-off land that is both mysterious and alluring.
