A Knightly Forest
Shandon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling prisoner in the darkest room
Who can help me hereabout no one
I think back to an immaginary boy
Used to share with him the same sensation I feel
Nobody cares
In front of me you do look different
Fitter plum and settled down happier
Maybe in future I will turn more like you
I can only stare at the dark now dimming the trees




Nobody cares

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shandon’s “A Knightly Forest” express a feeling of being trapped and alone in a dark room with no one around to help. The singer reminisces about an imaginary friend they used to share the same feelings with. However, now they feel like nobody cares about them, while the world around them, embodied by the person in front of the singer, seems to be flourishing. The last line, “I can only stare at the dark now dimming the trees, nobody cares,” emphasizes the sense of despair and loneliness.
