Woody
I'm Not A Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He knows them all
Just makes a phone call
All the girls per dial
He only likes some far away
She has it all
Head's bright and tall
Only the looks and style
Confuses asking for a while

She's got all the things to stay
You keep on walking away

Boy, you're dancing all alone
Blinded to see the forest for the trees
Disguised you're living in the show
Money will buy you the glitter on the phone

You feel on top
To award it
Can't stop
Crouded in your eyes
Maintain people passing by
He walks alone
Has lost his phone
All he had is try
As the stranger is passing by

She had all the things to stay
You keep on walking away

Boy, you're dancing all alone
Blinded to see the forest for the trees




Disguised you're living in the show
Money will buy you the glitter on the phone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Woody" by I'm Not A Band are written in a unique way and depict the story of two characters; one who has it all, including the looks and style, while the other is possibly struggling to keep up with the high standards set by the society. Although the first character has everything, she still feels confused and unsure, while the latter one seems to be walking alone while trying to find something that he might have lost.


The first character seems to know all the girls and can make a phone call to get in touch with them. However, she only likes some of them who are far away from her. The second character, on the other hand, has lost his phone and walks alone. He tries to maintain people passing by, but he has nothing to show except trying his best to fit into the society's expectations.


The lyrics use metaphors to convey the message that no matter how much glitter someone has on their phone or how much money they possess, it cannot buy happiness or inner peace. The use of forest and trees representation portray that the first character is blinded and cannot see beyond her material possessions. Woody may represent the second character and his efforts to find himself in a world filled with superficiality.


Overall, the lyrics of "Woody" can be interpreted as a warning against the superficiality in our society and a reminder that true happiness cannot be found in material possessions.
