about

I usually don't leave my songs unfinished for a long time. This one though took more than usual. I first came up with the guitar part. I knew i was gonna like this song so i wrote very personal things. The best part of this song is i think that different people will derive different meanings from it because i told my story in a very metaphorical way. I even myself thought of many things all at once while recording the vocals.

lyrics

Forest
There are underneath us all
Fighting
But there is no ending to this war
Because it's people, they never stop bleeding
But I'm dying
And I'm sick of all these lives with their jokes
That goes running inside, dying but never stops
And there is no change in the air but there is no life neither
Oh soon he'll be down
Oh so soon they'll be down

"Can't you see all these mistakes that put us through?" I say
"Can't you see all the ignorance made us do?" you say
There's no other way she could throw it away
No other way she could throw it all away

She keeps calling but there is no one to hear
She keeps crawling but there is no one to hold on to

Just tonight be silent
Or lie back on your back watch the sky
Could be our only way to get out of this hell
She could cry all she wants but there's no way to go faster

She knows it well
Someday there'll be a ghost of me choking them out
Someday there will be a ghost of me I'll never stop waiting
Some other day we will scream long and loud
There will be a time when we can build our own lives
But for now, we just have to wait and listen
We just have to wait and listen

What if you were gone I'd have no home
You'll be sleeping under the sky
What if you were gone I'd have no home
You'll be sleeping under the sky
Where would I go?
Where would I go?

Do you hear them walking in your forest?
There is no other way to reach him but under the surface
