ENGLISH
FOREST OF UNCERTAINTY feat Allonymous
There is a twofold reading and a wealth of influences in this, featuring Allonymous - a Chicago native once again present alongside mokroïé - on the one hand the torments of an individual caught up in a world beyond his control, and on the other, a concern for the future of the planet. The video pays tribute to nature. The track is made up of vast ethereal layers, electronic sparkles and a rhythm syncopated by the Afrobeat imprint of Allonymous, who has already collaborated with references such as Tony Allen, The Cinematic Orchestra, Basement Jaxx... he played live in 2023 with other remarkable artists such as Angélique Kidjo, Oxmo Puccino and Damon Albarn.

FOREST OF UNCERTAINTY feat Allonymous
Il y a une double lecture et une richesse d’influences dans ce titre avec le featuring d’Allonymous - natif de Chicago à nouveau présent aux côtés de mokroïé - d’une part les tourments d’un individu pris dans un monde qui lui échappe, et d’autre part, au coeur de nos préoccupations le devenir de la planète. Le clip, à travers les forêts, rend hommage à la nature. Le titre est composé de vastes nappes éthérées, de scintillements électroniques, d’une rythmique syncopée par l’empreinte afrobeat d’Allonymous, qui a déjà collaboré avec des références telles que Tony Allen, The Cinematic Orchestra, Basement Jaxx… il a joué live en 2023 avec d'autres artistes remarquables tels que Angélique Kidjo, Oxmo Puccino, Damon Albarn.

lyrics
FOREST OF UNCERTAINTY
In a land far far away
I'm living
in the cold
of a shoulder
Where otherwise
here it would be warm
Afraid
to be showered upon
By inhumane
droplets
Leaving
fear
all in the eyes
warry to touch
In the distance is
deafening to get used to
Over time
Dalilian clocks
And the numbers
mount
by the numbers
Numbed by the count
we fall under
Raef is feaR
spelled backwards
But we can't see the point
Due to that curving factor
Lost in a forest of uncertainty
Bearing fruits in the sight
of the periphery
Lost in a forest of uncertainty
Bearing fruits in the sight
of the periphery
All summed up in a line
Do we reopen?
Get out?
Forage for essentials?
Or close our minds?
We got to do something
The problem isn't the leaves
We cannot get to the roots
But it's neither here
nor there,
The echoes of confinement
Oh, but there's power in numbers
Let no man put us asunder
Once upon a time
meant
in a land
far
far
away
Now that story goes
As we read it day
after day
I guess we can call it living
My guess
is as good as yours
I'd surmise
If we hold our collective
breaths
Lost
in a Forest of Uncertainty
Will it count for something?
Lost
in a Forest of Uncertainty
Will it count for something?
Staying at home
and going it alone
Counting blessings
just to get by
it's a blessed thing
to be alive
