Picture this: a moonlit forest, branches shivering in the night air, and two ex-lovers facing off in a tense game of cat-and-mouse. La Forêt tells a noir-style tale where romance collides with revenge. The narrator meets a former partner for a “rendez-vous improvisé” among the trees; nervous smiles mask deeper fears. A cold pistol presses against skin, shots echo through the darkness, and silence falls like frost. The lyrics unfold like a short thriller, exploring obsession, power shifts, and the thin line between passion and danger.
Beyond the chilling storyline, Lescop’s sleek, new-wave delivery turns the forest into a symbol of raw emotion: the rustling leaves mirror racing heartbeats, while the quiet after each gunshot captures that eerie calm when feelings finally explode. It is a song about the irreversible moment when love becomes lethal, leaving the listener suspended between seduction and shock.
