People In The Forest
St. Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
To get away from the city
What's inside a heart I can not see
To look one in the eye in the city
Wake up in the morning with the sun in your eyes
Way from the time you can not feel the pain
Picture all the flowers that you'll never see
People in the forest have a vision in their eye
They all carry on to believing
Get your self a horse and join us for the ride
To get away from the city
Wake up in the morning with the sun in your eyes
Way from the time you can not feel the pain
Picture all the flowers that you'll never see
Takes a lot of forces to couple you and me
Wake up in the morning with the sun in your eyes
Way from the time you can not feel the pain
Picture all the flowers that you'll never see
Takes a lot of forces to couple you and me
In "People In The Forest," St. Thomas sings about the desire to escape the city and seek solace in nature. The lyrics evoke a longing for a simpler, more peaceful existence away from the chaos and noise of urban life. The forest becomes a symbolic place of refuge, where people can find clarity and reconnect with themselves.
The first verse reflects on the inscrutable nature of the human heart. St. Thomas suggests that the true essence of a person cannot be seen or understood at first glance, particularly in the hustle and bustle of city life. He contrasts this with the idea of looking someone in the eye, implying a deeper level of connection that is possible in a more serene and natural environment.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to break free from the constraints of the city. It encourages people to wake up in the morning with a renewed sense of purpose, untethered from the pain and burdens of everyday life. The mention of flowers that will never be seen implies a loss of beauty and joy that can only be regained by escaping to the forest. The final line, "Takes a lot of forces to couple you and me," suggests that the struggle to find harmony and connection in society is a constant battle.
Overall, "People In The Forest" conveys a yearning for simplicity, peace, and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. It encourages listeners to escape the city and find solace in the natural world.
