The Cure- A forest & interpretation of song lyrics



Interpretation: 

When I listen to this song, makes me think of a sensitive man who is prey to a woman. She see's his character as weak challenges/ takes advantage of him. He is trying to search, find out, decode if she truly likes him. The metaphor's are describing the girl in the shadows of the forest as her act of stringing him along. The man who's in love with her, is deeply attracted. She doesn't feel the same attraction however she is aware of how vulnerable he is for her affection. Toys with his emotions for fun, plays games, not considering how hurt and confused it will cause him. The man is still falling for her, believing there is a chance that she will change (I hear her voice and start to run). Confused, mixed up, tangled inside, feels like he's lost in a pitch black forest. When he sees her attempts to lure him in he avoids it at all cost (run into the trees). The woman sends out mixed signals by complimenting him, flirting despite knowing she doesn't mean it (I hear her her voice calling my name). He comes to a conclusion that she can't be honest, show true feelings, immature, suffering from insecurities. Wishes he could abandon, not have tortured himself lusting for her. (Suddenly I stop, but I know it's to late, I'm lost in a forest). After his lust vanishes, she no longer appears in his head. He no longer cares for her, so she is no longer visible. (the girl was never there). Also reveals that these type of women are drawn to treating him like that (The girl was never there, it's always the same).
