Woods
Jessica & MY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A filmstrip of every temptation and echoing faces, never fading in time
Evolution is the secret truth, and constant changing time
Invisible and yet impossible
To begin is to end is to begin, to begin is to end is to begin
You snapped a picture the other day and trapped me behind the glass you say
Holding with death and time and less than four pieces of wood
I fell in love with you, can’t even sing in shades of blue
To begin is to end is to begin, to begin is to end is to begin
Is this real or am I dreaming
Dance with me, twirl me across the floor, leaving me wanting nothing but more
Now you’re so far away and pleasures make the life you say and
Drifters live the life, matters all my life
To begin is to end is to begin, to begin is to end is to begin
You snapped a picture the other day, it wasn’t black and white but shades of gray
You held me behind the last four pieces of wood, just in time, just in time, just behind
The lyrics to "WOODS" by JESSICA & MY are filled with themes of time, change, and the complexities of love. The opening line, "Twenty-four hours until the seconds in my mind," suggests a sense of urgency and anticipation. The singer reflects on the fleeting nature of time, with memories and temptations constantly playing in their mind like an unending filmstrip. They believe that evolution holds the secret truth, as time is in a constant state of change.
The line "To begin is to end is to begin" speaks to the cyclical nature of life and relationships. It implies that the start and end of something are interconnected, and one cannot exist without the other. The following verse delves into the singer's feelings of being trapped, as if captured behind a glass by someone else's actions. The mention of "less than four pieces of wood" alludes to the fragility of their connection.
The chorus reveals the singer's deep love for the other person, indicated by their inability to even express their emotions in shades of blue, a color often associated with sadness. The line "You drive me crazy, no you didn't just pick me that daisy" suggests that the other person's actions have a profound effect on the singer's emotions. The mention of dancing and wanting more signifies a desire for a deeper connection, but the distance between them and the pleasures of life create obstacles.
The final verse brings back the motif of being held behind pieces of wood, symbolizing captivity or being constrained. The line "You held me behind the last four pieces of wood, just in time, just in time, just behind" implies that the relationship is both timely and just out of reach.
Overall, "WOODS" explores the complexities of love, the passage of time, and the yearning for deeper connections.
