How We Quit The Forest Lyrics
The Ostrich and the Egret
Had a very fine flat to let.
Figurine hutch, no the place wasn't much, but they
Got a Peacock.
His belongings were meager but,
He was pretty, would bring good luck.
They would sing songs all around the piano and
Do the Cakewalk.
He would say what he's gonna do.
He would say what he wanted to.
Ostrich and Egret were filled with regret,
but the
Rent's well worth him.
He felt things they'd never felt.
Like the slap of a feather belt.
So still they sat by the fireplace silent.
A chill ran through them.
Ostrich and Egret and Peacock had very
small dreams.
Picturing them just reminds me
of calendar scenes.
Nobody's laughing when everyone's
weeping, it seems.
So that's How We Quit the Forest.
The scene wasn't what it used to be.
The scene is never what it used to be.
So, that's How We Quit the Forest.
The scene wasn't what it used to be.
The scene is never what it used to be.
So, that's How We Quit the Forest.
Melora Creager says it well that How We Quit the Forest represents the quittage of anything.. Smoking, an ex, a mindset.
well if it represents quiting something then i believe that the peakock would represent the habit.
I don't understand what the feather belt has to do with anything. Js'
wow. never have i read such fine writing. hm.
I feel like its more about humans leaving the nature for big concrete cities... "how we quit the forest" we just to live among nature... into the forest... how we quit the forest and move to a city or so...

I have no confirmation, but my theory is that this song could be a response to a Dead Can Dance song called "Tell Me About The Forest (You Once Called Home)"
