Lyrics Meaning

In a silent, timeless forest, I wandered, lost in fog that stole words, with bones of sky beneath my feet. No one taught me how to forget, only a gentle, warm light caressed my thoughts, softly stroking them. The stag vanished beyond the world, yet its shadow still walks, a response or your loneliness? I don’t know how to forget, like a warm light, it softly strokes my journey, faintly touching. Untouchable feelings drift through the ashen forest, while forgotten things accumulate deep within. Like a mirage, our meeting floats, the moon’s light blesses my spine, believing in its beauty. No one taught me how to forget, like a warm light, it softly strokes my path, faintly touching.
