The Forest Lyrics

Cover art for The Forest lyrics by Windsor Drive

This is the song that introduced me to Windsor Drive (seeing how this is the first comment, I'm hoping that eventually others will be introduced to this song).

This is a great demonstration of the band's musical as well as lyrical talent. It reads like a fantasy/fairytale story. I believe the song is just an expression of the need for love ("I went too far, now I need you so much more") and the natural instinct of preserving and protecting it ("I am yours for the keeping", "I'll save you from the forest dark and grim"). It's a beautiful way of telling someone that you love them, hope they love you back, and that you would do whatever it takes to protect them.
