Lyrics
Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again...
About
The Cure's "A Forest" is a haunting, ethereal song that has remained popular since its release in 1980. The gothic rock band's second album, Seventeen Seconds, featured the track as its lead single. "A Forest" quickly became a fan favorite, and has been included on several of the Cure's greatest hits compilations. The song's popularity is likely due to its atmospheric sound and Robert Smith's emotive vocals. The Cure's 1980s gothic rock phase is represented by "A Forest," which was recorded and mixed over seven days, as well as the rest of the songs on the album. The song has been part of The Cure's live performances for many years. Many different versions have appeared on concert albums over the years, with a new version being recorded and remixed before being re-released as a single in 1990. The lyrics to "A Forest" are cryptic and open to interpretation. Some believe that the song is about addiction, while others think it is about mental illness. The lyrics follow a story of a pursuit of a girl in the forest, which ends in loss. Regardless of the meaning, the lyrics add to the dark, mysterious tone of the song and Smith has compared it to a childhood nightmare. In 1979, the song was used on Something Else, a music talk show, and thus became the first Cure song to be broadcast on television. It has also since been used in Netflix's "13 Reasons Why", during season three.
