Usher, David - Forestfire Lyrics






What if I were you and you were me
Still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees
Now I'm standing in a field of green
The colours burning far as I can see
What do you see

On my tongue the galaxies so small
Here I'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve
Now I'm pouring through the universe and slipping
through the endless stream of time
What would you find

And I'm flying floating on the wind again
Hoping it will drag me in
Can't you see i'm laughing
Laughing at the consequence
Laughing at this circumstance
Don't you know by now

Wave at all the faces they go by
Faster that we live the more we die
Now I'm crashing through the open door and smiling in a most peculiar way
What would you say

And I'm falling faster than the waterfall
Opened up and after all
Can't you see I'm drowning
Right here in the open air
Wishing I could still go clear
Don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are
Don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are

Flying floating on the wind again
I'm wishing that you'd drag me in
Can't you see I'm hoping Wishing I could see myself
Wishing I was someone else
But don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are
Don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are...

  2. T.... F....

    I refuse to believe this came out 20 years ago.

    T.... F....

    Th Fo I listened to this song in my parents basement. Now I had clip today playing in my head of it and I had to find out what sing it was. I can't believe I remembered that his name was David 20 years later...

  3. J.... C....

    wow lol blast from the past! I have loved Moist and David Usher since I was about 10. nice!

  4. T.... G....

    was searching for this forever

  5. e.... ....

    David Usher FTW. that piano is wicked awesome.
    Also, Joseph Gordon Levitt Doppelganger. They should totally collab.

  6. a.... ....

    This has been one of my favourite songs since I was 10. An unforgettable album from my favourite Canadian artist. Thanks for the memories x

  7. M.... H....

    He usually does.

  8. Z.... ....

    Whoa....

  9. d.... ....

    Roberto Sosa whaaooooo!!!!!!, great mexican actor, and David Usher the best.

  10. p.... ....

    I saw David Usher this past December (2011). It's disturbing, yet awesome, that he looks....almost the same as he does in this video.

    p.... ....

    I too saw him somewhat recently. I think it was in November 2014 at Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. And yes, still looks just as good :)

  11. I.... ....

    this video was filmed in Mexico, close to where I live, how come i never knew he was here and i lost my chance to see him.

  12. F.... G....

    @Zvanunhoft any song in particular? i'd probably like them if they sound like this.

  13. L.... M....

    Не думала что он и в 1998 году клипы снимал... У него и не одна песня... уао! Black Black Heart по любой рулиииииииииииииит!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. F.... G....

    @agentadvocate i'm talking about the main actor in the video. kinda looks like the singer of crash test dummies.

  15. a.... ....

    @korndud He was the lead singer for the band 'Moist'.

  16. F.... G....

    is that the guy from crash test dummies?

  17. m.... ....

    @BadWolf582 hahahaha genius!

  18. M.... M....

    Only Smokey Bear can prevent this song.

  19. d.... ....

    I bought this album because I was a moist fan and it didn't disapoint. An excellent first solo album by any standards.

  20. a.... ....

    love love love...
    at first sight and hearing.
    he's such a fine man, one of the finest I've ever come across. the fact that he's still living with his wife of many years makes him even more precious and desirable. and surely he's becoming more and more handsome every year.
    best of luck to you, David, at work and in life.
    xx

  21. M.... ....

    @SweetZombiJesus

    Quite ironic lmao.

  22. S.... ....

    @MaskoftheWraith He married a woman named Sabrina Reeves, too.

  23. M.... ....

    @BlackKryptonite7

    Yeah definitely.

  24. D.... D....

    this was also my first impresion,that he looks like keanu

  25. R.... M....

    Wow this song is awesome!

  26. Z.... ....

    This is a portishead rip off. No offence.

  27. A.... �....

    Amazing.......

  28. R.... B....

    @MaskoftheWraith well, he always kinda looked like Keanu Reeves =P

  29. K.... L....

    God, I love that song!

  30. a.... ....

    Cool idea. There are two protagonists in the video, the brunette girl and the guy thief. The guy doesn't like himself so he steals other people's numbers [and ingests them!] and lives vicariously, ie cross-dressing as blonde girl 07. Is he bi-polar? The brunette protagonist, as revealed is an "8" and if you rotate this number it becomes the infinity sign. Maybe that's why it's so coveted? Even tho her physical number plate was stolen she valued the number so, it was branded on her body!

  31. h.... ....

    my god, i love this video clip, it's so disturbing it's amazing.

  32. D.... ....

    lol i was wondering the same thing

  33. G.... ....

    a little disturbing.. not bad tune though

  34. S.... ....

    Most likely David usher did ... he does all other work with his music.

  35. 1.... ....

    An absolute classic!

  36. M.... ....

    Anybody noticed that David usher in this video looks a lil' bit like Keanu Reeves?

  37. e.... ....

    I bet the guy that steals the girl's number is Death

  38. C.... M....

    ¡¡¿En serio?!! ¿Little Robot hizo este video! ¡Yo conozco a sus hermanos! Jaja. El mundo es un Kleenex usado, me cae.

  39. Z.... ....

    This guy's face is flawless he looks like a character in an anime movie if the music thing didn't workout he could have become a model.

  40. C.... M....

    ¡Este video fue hecho en México! ¡El travesti es Roberto Sosa y David trae una máscara de Salinas de Gortari! jaja.// I'm so surprised because I had seen this video before and only now I'm discovering it was made in Mexico City, my hometown. Does anybody know who directed it?

  41. L.... A....

    who gives 2 fucks what your mum thinks....listen to what you want!

  42. N.... N....

    I <3 david usher

  43. K.... ....

    this guy was my hero when I was little. I have all of his CD's from 1994(back when he was in a band) to 2001. then I stopped listening to him because mum didnt like his lyrics(she auctually listened to one of his songs...fluke was that it happend to be butterfly.

  44. D.... ....

    you don't get it?
    he explained it better than i could.

  45. L.... A....

    it means your mom took it in the bum bum ;)

  46. J.... M....

    No, he's not a Scientologist... He's either Atheist or Agnostic... I can't remember which one.

    And I don't htink it's about drinking, more human life.

  47. D.... F....

    Gasoline probably

  48. K.... M....

    he's had 5 I think....this one's the only one I don't have. There's also Morning Orbit, Hallucinations, If God Had Curves and Strange Birds.

    His newer stuff is awesome. Hallucinations and Strange Birds are my favs.

  49. F.... S....

    Damn creepy!! the mask at the begining is a ex-president of Mexico!!! Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994) the king of the burglers!!!

  50. M.... ....

    Thanks :)

  51. B.... M....

    maybe you're thinking of the "underground" video by Moist... it's also on youtube. check it out... i'm probably wrong though :S

  52. M.... ....

    Love this song. Question..I saw one of his or Moist's videos years back where he was in a gas station or something..and it kept fading in and out...don't remember the name, but it really was amazing artistically. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

  53. J.... B....

    Another Great Song
