Dead Forest
Urban Clearway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Many years ago, we were feeling complete
Beds of dead leaves with no shoes on our feet
No billboard anywhere, no buildings of stone
The trees in the forest were our only homes
So beautiful and green you can hardly believe
And the air all around you so refreshing to breathe
We were always safe and were always sound
(Bridge:)
We ran through the forest
We ran through the woods
And best of all yeah
We ran in the mud
But it didn't really matter cos the forest was our home
And now we're all alone
Then one day, when we were lying alone
Chainsaws came and destroyed part of our home
They sawed down the trees and dug up the soil
Left a big mess for all their trouble & toil
They drove off and left us all naked and bare
They never looked back, they didn't even care
They just left a big hole that wasn't there before
We could no longer sleep on the floor
(Bridge:)
We ran into the forest
We ran through the trees
We ran so fast
Until we fell on our knees
But it didn't really matter cos the forest was our home
And now we're all alone
A few years went by, before they came back
And when they did - it was a massive attack
The bulldozers came knocked everything down
All the trees were lying down on the ground
They cemented the earth, built buildings of steel
Our forest was gone, couldn't believe this was real
They opened big stores and shops full of shite
Their bright neon signs blazed all through the night
We didn't even get chance to put up a fight
(Bridge-end:)
We looked for the forest
We looked for the trees
We looked so hard
'Til we were down on our knees
But it didn't seem to matter to them at all
They had their big shopping mall
(Long depressing guitar solo)
So we ran through the corridors
We ran through the halls
We battered them hard
Couldn't break down those walls
We smashed all of their windows 'til they came with their guns
I guess they won
"Dead Forest" by Urban Clearway is a song that appears to be about deforestation and the impact it has on nature and the creatures living in it. The lyrics portray a time when life in the forest was untouched and peaceful - "no billboard anywhere, no buildings of stone, the trees in the forest were our only homes." The singer describes a time when they could run freely through the woods and live off the land without any restrictions. The beauty of nature is emphasized in lines such as "so beautiful and green you can hardly believe, and the air all around you so refreshing to breathe."
However, this peaceful existence is disrupted when the trees are cut down by chainsaws and the soil dug up. The destruction left behind makes it impossible for them to continue living in the forest, and they are forced to leave. The song becomes more intense as the story progresses, as the forest is completely destroyed, and buildings and shops take its place. The lyrics are quite bleak, and it is clear that the band is lamenting the destruction of nature for the sake of capitalism.
The song is a poignant commentary on the impact of man's actions on the environment. It speaks to the toxicity of greedy corporations and the importance of taking care of nature. The lyrics are delivered with a sense of urgency, and the music helps to convey the emotion behind them. Overall, "Dead Forest" is a song that evokes contemplation and empathy, urging people to take a stand against the destruction of the environment.
Line by Line Meaning
Many years ago, we were feeling complete
Long ago, we felt content with our lives
Beds of dead leaves with no shoes on our feet
We slept on beds of dead leaves without any footwear
No billboard anywhere, no buildings of stone
There were no billboards or solid structures in sight
The trees in the forest were our only homes
We lived in the forest and the trees were our homes
So beautiful and green you can hardly believe
The forest was lush and green, almost too good to be true
And the air all around you so refreshing to breathe
The forest air was pure and refreshing
We were always safe and were always sound
In the forest, we were always secure and content
Sleeping bare on the ground
We slept on the bare forest floor
Then one day, when we were lying alone
One day, while we were resting by ourselves
Chainsaws came and destroyed part of our home
The sound of chainsaws destroyed part of our forest home
They sawed down the trees and dug up the soil
They cut down the trees and destroyed the soil
Left a big mess for all their trouble & toil
They left a big mess from all their hard work and effort
They drove off and left us all naked and bare
They left us exposed and vulnerable
They never looked back, they didn't even care
They didn't show any remorse or concern
They just left a big hole that wasn't there before
They left a huge gap where the forest used to be
We could no longer sleep on the floor
We could no longer sleep on the forest floor
A few years went by, before they came back
Several years passed before they returned
And when they did - it was a massive attack
When they returned, it was a significant assault
The bulldozers came knocked everything down
The bulldozers destroyed everything in their path
All the trees were lying down on the ground
All the trees were cut down and scattered around
They cemented the earth, built buildings of steel
They paved over the ground and constructed steel buildings
Our forest was gone, couldn't believe this was real
Our forest was destroyed, and we couldn't accept it was real
They opened big stores and shops full of shite
They erected large stores and markets filled with low-quality products
Their bright neon signs blazed all through the night
Their garish neon signs illuminated the area at night
We didn't even get chance to put up a fight
We didn't have the opportunity to resist or fight back
So we ran through the corridors
We ran through the buildings
We ran through the halls
We ran through the building's corridors
We battered them hard
We assaulted them aggressively
Couldn't break down those walls
We were unable to break down the building's walls
We smashed all of their windows 'til they came with their guns
We broke all of the windows until they arrived with guns
I guess they won
They emerged victorious
We looked for the forest
We searched for the forest
We looked for the trees
We searched for the trees
We looked so hard
We searched desperately
'Til we were down on our knees
Until we were on our hands and knees
But it didn't seem to matter to them at all
They didn't care about us or our loss
They had their big shopping mall
They had their large commercial center
