about

"Mapped By A Forest provides jangling guitars, but at a slower pace than you’d normally associate with this style. That’s no bad thing, and quite refreshing, bringing a mournful feel to ‘Our Place In The World’. It’s not going to pull up trees by itself, but it’s melodic, meaningful, and should sit well alongside the more powerful moments in their catalogue."
SNACK MAGAZINE

lyrics

Are we all lost in our own way
Trying to keep our head above the baseline
Is the future in our own hands
Playing out the struggle of design
Get closer with every footstep
Bathing in the sunshine above
With your hands around my neck
All I need's a little shove

Trying to find our place in the world
Where we can be fine
A place just for us

It's hard looking backwards
When the stories don't seem real
Did I miss a rapture
When we all came to heel
Down to my last breath
Then a glimmering of hope
I think we can withstand this
We should just go

Trying to find our place in the world
Where we can be fine
A place just for us

Trying to find our place in the world
Where we can be fine
A place just for us
A place just for us
A place just for us

A place just for us
A place just for us
