Lyrics · artist-supplied

The deepest forest we've ever known  
It comes around when we're all alone  
There's a chance  
That we'll get pulled  
By every branch  
And they will pull  
All of us down

To the soil  
Into the soul  
That's where we'll grow  
A place to call home

It's already known  
But it's not set in stone  
That we're said to grow  
Much better alone  
Waist deep in the soil

Into the soil  
Into the soul

The poison  
We poured in  
Our hollow  
Has slowed us down  
The empire  
Has chosen  
A sacred combination

Into the soil  
Into the soul  
That's where we'll end up  
That's where we'll grow  
Into the soil  
A place to call home

Working interpretation · analysis

> **Interpretation note:** This section is analysis/inference, not an authoritative statement of authorial intent unless the Artist Context above says otherwise.

The title strongly suggests the “Soil” or terrestrial movement of the triptych. “Gods” gives the forest agency and hierarchy, making humans feel like visitors inside a much older system. A likely thematic axis is reverence versus domination: whether nature is resource, environment, or something with claims of its own.

Themes

forest, nature, land, animism, human scale
