Party In A Forest
Wombats (The) Lyrics

Am I in a scene from 'Midsummer Nights Dream'?
I feel like I'm in a surreal and dreamy environment, like I'm in the middle of a fairytale.

I thought raves like these died in the 90's?
I'm surprised that this kind of party is still happening, I thought it was just popular in the past.

The forest is breathing along with us tonight
The atmosphere of the party is so lively and energetic that it feels like even the forest around us is joining in.

Upper Class thugs take middle-class drugs
The people around me who seem wealthy and privileged are still indulging in drugs that are typically associated with lower-class individuals.

And we all get lowered in size
Despite our differences, we are all brought down to the same level of vulnerability by the drugs and party atmosphere.

This is not my scene, I should not be here tonight
I am uncomfortable and out of place at this party, I don't belong here.

Trance music bangs a comical dance of cardboard boxes and fish
The music is so intense that it feels like we're all just absurdly flailing around, like we're dancing with cardboard boxes and fish.

We're the fairies from hell and we're all on a death wish
Despite how lighthearted and fun this party seems, there's a darker element to it, and the people here seem self-destructive and reckless.

This is not my scene, this is killing me
Being at this party is causing me distress and emotional pain, it's not worth it.

I don't want to be here tonight
I want to leave this party and be somewhere else, away from all of this chaos and destruction.

And the girl who can save me is well across the Pennines
Someone who could help me escape from this party is far away, and so I'm feeling trapped and helpless.

Laura, oh oh oh oh oh
The artist is calling out to someone named Laura.

Laura, get me home tonight
The singer is pleading with Laura to help them get home from the party and escape its unrelenting chaos.
