    "Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?" I think the "someone else" is himself. Who he has become over time is so different from who he used to be as a child that he seems like a different person now. It bothers him because it's disorienting. This interpretation fits in with the rest of the song.

    Hi!
    ok, so I think that the forest is not actually a forest (?), what I mean is that the forest for me is a place in his mind, a place in the mind of all the people that he's talking about, like a safe place where there's no problems or stress, where he doesn't really need to be concerned about anything. When he sings about being afraid of "what's around the corner", I thinks he's talking about real life, the life of an adult that is responsable of the things he do, he doesn't want to be there so he goes to the fores, the safe place, where he's just happily dancing and singing without any concern. In the verses he is trying to express what is going on inside his head and he wants it to stop.
    I think the bridge is the most important part. When he "squint his eyes" he finds himself in the real life and realise that he had already ruined everything, and he is RESPONSABLE for that ("my treehouse is on fire and for some reason I smell gas on my hands"), he also compares himself with a kid, a kid that should be happy insted of concerned about this things.
    That's it, I think i didn't forgot anything
    (Sorry if anything is wrongly formulated, I speak spanish, I'm learning english)

      The Pop Song Professor Also i like to think that forest is about becoming a community in a world wich is obsessed with individuality. ("does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name") I think everyone is afraid of not being "special" enough and it can be really frustrating sometimes.

    "mostly," Tyler says. "with a hint of orange"
    "orange, right." Josh points at Tyler. "that's right. I keep forgetting that one"

    okay don't quote me on this but this kind of sounds like when in the bible the church was in the room and they started speaking tounges and everyone was thinking the same thing but speaking different languages, but they were not really speaking an actual languages which in the song refers to it as "singing songs that nobody wrote and then they began to be consumed by the fire which did not burn them and they began to worship referring to "hands held higher"

    the bible talks about tongues of fire and and languages nobody knows but everybody understands and things of such that tyler relates to in the song. i believe tyler is talking about being terrified of life just like the rest of us but we have to think of something better to move on. I think his way of thinking of something better is thinking of how in the end he gets to go to heaven with the rest of the believers. I think the forest represents heaven. he talks about hands held higher and I think this refers to praising God. there is a lot of direct terminology in forest that would lead me to believe he is quoting from the Bible. anyway that's my thoughts on it. I loved this video by the way ;)

    What if there's like a timeline, or a story from RAB to Vessel? For exampleMaybe Forest takes place before Trees,Forest is about people gathering and trying to help each other with their struggles Maybe it's somewhat like a concert but in a forest, but not exactly a professional one I guess.Then, Trees comes next, possibly much later,Maybe someone who was at the gathering/concert comes back to where Forest was sung, in some sort of empty, forested area. The person is struggling and wants to commit suicide, but then they're reminded of the concert, so they go back to the forest. While they're walking, they start to think back to what happened, and almost recreate the moment. They imagine themselves back there ("I can feel your breath"), then they realize that they can't recreate the moment and have deeper thoughts ("I can feel my death"). Next, "I want to know you, I want to see, I want to say 'hello'". This maybe means they wish they could go back but they can't. I don't know it's just an idea.

    I really liked hearing your perspective on the song, so I'll have to think on it further to figure out what I really think. But this is what I had thought before, just as a random idea, I guess.
    Personally I had always heard this song and thought of it as a sort of contrast between the struggles of this world, compared to the joys of heaven. I hear the pre-chorus and think of people being terrified as they consider the future, what lies ahead maybe even after death.
    Then the chorus is a celebration, being in heaven in the presence of God and celebrating with a crowd of people who share your faith and your joy.
    The verses I thought were just about life and struggling with living now, but holding onto the hope of something better.
    And then the bridge I thought was the same kind of thing. Especially when he says 'This is not what you're supposed to see...I am supposed to be king of a kingdom..." I think of living now, but remembering that there is more meant for us than just this life.
    There's more to it than just that, but that's just a quick summary of what I've always thought Forest was about. I'm not saying that I'm right, and I was really fascinated by the points you brought up (I'll have to listen to the song more, I guess). But I'd love to hear what you think about this, and maybe why you think it's more clearly about something different (what you discussed in the video).
    Anyway, sorry for the long comment. Thanks for making this video, though! It was really cool :)

    • @specialk9486
      @specialk9486 7 років тому +2

      I like your thoughts on this. I had a similar line of thought. I always thought the chorus sounded like a worship service, singing hymns to God. And that that is our way of getting away from the worries of the world for a bit and thinking of something better. From what I know about the church Tyler went to I think they are probably a raise your hands in the air while singing kind of place :P We don't at my church but I have been to ones that do. And the being on fire would be being on fire for God, that passion for Him.
      I love this song and I love the sense of community the chorus conveys. We are not in this alone, let's all go sing about it together.

    • @funkyskeleton5691

    • @ThePopSongProfessor
      @ThePopSongProfessor  7 років тому +1

      Thanks for the thoughts, Jaylen. I think there's definitely an intended contrast there. I wonder if the good side of the contrast is Heaven or my theory, but I think there's something to be said for both sides. At the very least, if my theory is right, that gathering is good because it's a small picture of what Heaven will be like. It's powerful because it's Heaven-like.

      @watermelon6973 7 років тому +1

      Jaylen Connors I think ty is reaching out to people to show them a place where we can find happiness (chorus) and in the bridge I think he means he looks at something and then thinks he is shaping it into something it isn't and then he wants to make himself look at things like he is in control but he can't because his childhood imagination is shaped into his current imagination

      "Someone else has your name" - I think that "someone else" is yourself - at a different stage of your life. You have the same name but find that you are a 'different person' than you were before and it is disorienting that you can chage so much that you seem to be a different person and disconnected from who you were before. That interpretation is related to a lot of the rest of the song too.

    My opinion:
    I think the link between the two ideas going on in the song is that as fans start really listening to their songs they realize that they have grown up. That the reason they are feeling the way that they are is that they are no longer a kid. You also simultaneously allow childhood to be destroyed cause there is a new lack of ignorance . You can no longer ignore the fact that you are growing up because their music has woken you up from that blissful oblivian. By opening yourself up to maturity you have brurned down your tree house. And we are all doing this together. Wether it is because of twenty one pilots, or work or the internet certain things can take you away and force you to destroy your child hood. With this being said, there is no shade being thrown at TOP because they allow you to know what is happened when you loose childhood and make you aware of how you are growing up, and they allow you to say goodbye and to mourn your loss. Other things that pull you away don't allow you to do so. They only pull you out of child hood they don't wake you up. This group of people Tyler is talking about in the song is the group of the people who have been woken up. They all sing the same song mourning the loss of their child self. Tyler feels bad because his hands are covered in gas because not only did he burn down his treehouse he supplied gasoline for everyone else who listened to him. He didn't plan to tell them what he had done and how to do it themselves.
    If you made it to the end of this very long paragraph thank you very much. And stay alive |-/

    I think the song is a contrast between finding hope on earth and finding hope in heaven. In the original video for Forest, the title is spelled "Forrest" or For Rest. The singing songs nobody wrote points to a future hope for Christians, singing a "New Song" like it says in Revelation where our ultimate rest will be after this life is over. The new song will be the song nobody wrote, because it's from God or angels, not of human origin.
    He is struggling with his emotions and thoughts, lamenting the death of his childhood hopes and dreams for his life and his poisoned thoughts. He realizes his ultimate hope is in heaven, not in the things he adores on earth, which do not bring ultimate hope, and that he has damaged himself by what he's done. Instead of being terrified of the future, we can look to our ultimate hope of heaven.
    We'll be on fire with our hands raised, singing and worshiping God. We will be on fire from the Spirit of God and being truly alive.

    I love this song so much. To me, it's all about how we are trapped in this forest and the "we" referred to in the chorus are the inmates, the rest of the world who are trapped with them and are lastly ignorant though all of them feel like something is wrong, but refuse to talk about it, and that's the chorus where they're singing songs that everyone knows but nobody wrote. The bridge is my favourite part since it zooms in a bit on this one person who seems to be taken over by the lack of freedom and is going crazy over it, so much that their trying to burn down the past and what was supposed to be, but still there's a storm coming and no one is safe. Finally, the part about someone else sharing your name just emphasises how there can be no complete individuality since society has long taken that away from us. In total, it's just truly beautiful.

    The chorus is a beautiful picture of heaven. The Forest is heaven (obviously). Especially the "hands held higher, we'll be on fire" part. That is something that is very common thought in the Christian community about heaven. "Singing songs that nobody wrote" is also a great picture of heaven. Heaven is a place where (as boring as it sounds for us on Earth) we all sing praises and worship God for eternity, singing songs that no one wrote.

  • @tylerszymkowski6331

    On Vessel and RAB I think Tyler relates his own personal struggles to biblical narratives. In Forest he seems to be telling the story of Adam and Eve, especially because: "I took some food for thought, It might be poisoned." The Forest then would represent the Garden of Eden, and the song of suffering that everyone sings together is the experience of sin. I think this theory is backed up by the rap which is like Adam talking to God. "I'm supposed to be king of a kingdom swinging on a swing," which I take to mean that he's meant to be innocent and childlike to rule the garden. But he goes on to say "my treehouse is on fire and for some reason I smell gas on my hands" meaning he's burned his place with God through sin. Trees in their music tend to represent God or his presence, so it makes sense that Eden, which was full with God's presence, would be represented by a forest full of trees. I think this song is meant to convey guilt Tyler feels for committing sin, basically saying that he feels just as responsible as Adam for bringing sin into the world. I also think of Goner and Trees in this context, Goner being Adam speaking and Trees being the voice of God searching for Adam in the garden.

    I think the forest is “outside” in guns for hands. “well breathe together to the beat” would be the song that the chorus is coming from “well all join hands” “hands held higher” also shows this.

    I really love your theory but for the line “does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name”i feel like he is referring to himself. Like the “someone else” would be the person who he doesn’t want to be, when the unwanted thoughts take over.

    I also love songs like forest (similar to kitchen sink), it's like up to you to decide what it means to you. It also to me is just a song that brings everyone together, one of those songs (life experiences) that everyone can relate to. The forest is different for everyone, depending on who you are, the forest could be suicide, bullying, death, etc. and everyone in your "forest" gets what your going through. IDK JUST MY OPINION

    The chorus reminds me of a church, everyone knows hymns. And it can be seen as a community of people trying to find comfort or something better. Even if it is not god, they find like minded individuals together? However you can also go to church alone and think in peace.
