The name of the band is a combination of two words: Nera, as the nickname of the vocalist, and Nature, as a reflection of a deep connection with the environment. It can also be interpreted as the nature of Nera – a diversity of views reflected in the songs. The feminine character of lyrics imbued with the feminist outlook on life constitutes one the most significant elements of the projects, touching upon such issues as man’s detachment from nature and running away from himself/herself.
The album is entitled "Foresting Wounds" and it contains 11 compositions based on rock music.
There are two people apart from the singer who helped the album take the present form: in the first moths of the works on the album it was Chris (Darzamat) who helped with putting the pieces together and the last months it was Jarosław Toifl who took care of the final version and the sound of the album.
The debut album will be released on May 9th by a Polish label, Metal Mind Productions. Earlier, in April, there will be a radio single entitled "Shattered, " which will promote the album along with the cover song "The World is Not Enough", from the repertoire of the band Garbage.

Oblivion
NeraNature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And curled up on the frigid ground
Completely alone
In anticipation of being found
You're shadow of your former self
You play dead
Afraid to be laughed at
Your last-known place of abode is hell
Bitter rain lashes your face
You've seen the real hell
The wind shows you the way
Still there's no one to pick you up
The rust eats up your heart
Condemned to oblivion
You pine away...
The lyrics of NeraNature's song Oblivion describe the feeling of being lost, abandoned, and forgotten. The opening lines paint a picture of a person lying on the cold ground, waiting to be rescued, but feeling completely alone in their struggle. The line "shed by a tree" is particularly interesting, as it suggests that the person is not just lying under a tree, but was shed or cast off by it, like a leaf. This could symbolize a feeling of being cast off or rejected by someone or something that was once comforting or supportive.
The lyrics also highlight the fear of being vulnerable and exposed to ridicule. The line "Afraid to be laughed at" suggests that the person is so afraid of being judged or mocked that they would rather play dead than risk being seen. The reference to "last-known place of abode" being hell further emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and isolated in a dark and miserable place.
The rest of the lyrics talk about the harshness of the environment and the feeling of slowly disintegrating or fading away. The bitter rain and winds can be seen as metaphors for the hardships and challenges of life, while the rust that eats away at the heart symbolizes the corrosive effects of loneliness and despair. The final line, "You pine away," captures the sense of slowly withering and decaying in the face of overwhelming odds.

You're shed by a tree
You were left by a tree
And curled up on the frigid ground
You are huddled on the cold ground
Completely alone
You are all by yourself
In anticipation of being found
You hope to be rescued
You're shadow of your former self
You are a mere copy of who you were before
You play dead
You pretend to be dead
Afraid to be laughed at
You have a fear of being mocked
Nobody knows
No one is aware of your struggles
Your last-known place of abode is hell
You are constantly surrounded by pain and suffering
Bitter rain lashes your face
The harsh rain beats against your face
You've seen the real hell
You've experienced great suffering
The wind shows you the way
You are guided by the wind
Still there's no one to pick you up
Despite everything, no one comes to help you
The rust eats up your heart
You are consumed by sorrow and despair
Condemned to oblivion
You are sentenced to forgetfulness
You pine away...
You waste away in your pain
