The forest is not just a place in nature, but a symbol for the inside of the human soul, for our lives, for darkness and light. Venture into it through the song “Forest”.
“Forest” by Ibadet Ramadani begins with the gentle invitation of the forest, which paves the way with soft, green grass. Nature, symbolized here by the forest, smiles, speaks and invites you to discover its secrets. It raises questions that penetrate deep inside you: “Have you ever experienced darkness? Have you ever lost your mind?” Your fears and experiences may come up, but these are not accepted by nature in the song. Instead, it asks you to return another day, stronger and ready to face the darkness.
Darkness is not the end, but part of the cycle that the forest has been experiencing for thousands of years, witnessing pain and joy, life and death. The forest, with its living branches and its gentle but demanding voice, is a metaphor for our own lives.
Combined with the metaphors, myths and stories that surround it, it is a wise teacher for your life. Dive even deeper into this landscape and its effects on your experience outside in our article Forest place| place of shadows & symbol of paradise.

[lyrics: Ibadet Ramadani - Forest]
Soft green grass paves the way Into the forest
Where she waits with a smile And kindly invites you in
Soft and clear is her voice
When she says only summer knows What I've planted in my garden
And the beauty that grows
Ahoooh
As I stumble inside
The branches of the forest Are coming alive
Have you ever been in darkness
she asks Did you ever loose your mind
Have you sailed the mighty ocean Till the end of time
She sees your fear and she knows
Won't take your cries and woes Put a smile on her face
Come back another day
Ahoooh
as I stumble outside
The branches of the forest
Are coming alive
I have lived a thousand years
I was a child, I was a wife
And now that I've seen darkness I've come to see the light
Ahoooh
as I stumble inside
The branches of the forest Are coming alive
The branches of the forest Are coming alive
