“Forest” is about conquering inner demons through music and community. It’s easily considered to be a fan favorite, and is frequently played live by the duo.
The song was later featured as a bonus track on the band’s 2013 album Vessel along with various other songs from Regional at Best.
The band...
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
I don't know why I feed on emotion
There's a stomach inside my brain
I don't wanna be heard, I wanna be listened to
Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?
Oh, does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name, your name?
[Pre-Chorus]
I scream, you scream
We all scream, 'cause we're terrified
Of what's around the corner
We stay in place
'Cause we don't wanna lose our lives
So let's think of something better
[Chorus]
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Verse 2]
My brain has given up, white flags are hoisted
I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned
The stomach in my brain throws up onto the page
Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?
Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?
[Pre-Chorus]
I scream, you scream
We all scream, 'cause we're terrified
Of what's around the corner
We stay in place
'Cause we don't wanna lose our lives
So let's think of something better (Better)
Oh
[Chorus]
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Bridge]
Quickly moving towards the storm, moving forward, torn
Into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for
I don't understand why everything I adore
Takes a different form when I squint my eyes
Have you ever done that? When you squint your eyes
And your eyelashes make it look a little not right
And then when just enough light comes from just the right side
And you find you're not who you're supposed to be?
This is not what you're supposed to see
Please, remember me?
I am supposed to be
King of a kingdom, or swinging on a swing
Something happened to my imagination
The situation's becoming dire
My tree house is on fire
And for some reason I smell gas on my hands
This is not what I had planned
This is not what I had planned
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus (Forest, chorus)
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Chorus]
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows, yeah
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Outro]
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire (Fire)
