WOODS
KID///DRACULA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all seems so simple
We were sitting on your couch
I remember
You took a polaroid of us
Then discovered (then discovered)
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming colour
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods
Looking at it now
Last December (last December)
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together (back together)
Ooh your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided (we decided)
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods?
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
When you started crying baby, I did too
But when the sun came up I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up you were looking at me
You were looking at me
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods (I remember)
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good (I remember)
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet, good
The lyrics to KID///DRACULA’s song “Woods” describe the ups and downs of a romantic relationship, with a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability throughout. The first stanza paints a picture of a happy memory between two people who were in “screaming colour” in a world that was “black and white.” This could represent the way they stood out to each other in a mundane world or how they felt their connection was unique in the face of societal norms. They also question if they are “out of the woods” and “in the clear,” suggesting a fear of the unknown and perhaps an experience of past trauma.
The second stanza seems to reflect a relationship that has gone through a rough patch and has “fallen apart” before being pieced back together. The line about moving furniture to dance could represent a willingness to overcome obstacles and create new experiences together, despite any difficulties faced. The mention of paper airplanes suggests a feeling of youth and freedom, but also implies that their relationship may be bouncing around and unstable like the flight of the paper airplanes. Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of hope, despite the fear and uncertainty that comes with being in a relationship.

Looking at it now
Reflecting on the past
It all seems so simple
The memories are easy to comprehend
We were sitting on your couch
Recalling a specific moment
I remember
Memories are vivid
You took a polaroid of us
A moment of happiness captured in a photo
Then discovered (then discovered)
A realization occurred
The rest of the world was black and white
Everything else seems dull in comparison
But we were in screaming colour
Our love was vibrant and alive
And I remember thinking
Reminiscing on personal thoughts
Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet
Questioning if we've overcome our struggles
Are we in the clear yet, are we in the clear yet
Asking if we're free from complications
In the clear yet, good
Relieved that everything is okay
Last December (last December)
Referencing a specific time frame
We were built to fall apart
Acknowledging the fragility of the relationship
Then fall back together (back together)
Reconciling and pushing through difficulties
Ooh your necklace hanging from my neck
A symbol of connection and intimacy
The night we couldn't quite forget
A memorable moment
When we decided (we decided)
A mutual agreement
To move the furniture so we could dance
Sharing an intimate moment
Baby, like we stood a chance
Feeling hopeful and optimistic
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
A metaphor for the relationship
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
A specific memory of a car accident
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
Reflecting on a painful experience
When you started crying baby, I did too
Emotions being shared between partners
But when the sun came up I was looking at you
A focus on the love and connection after the hardship
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
Recalling a moment of conflict
I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free
Choosing to end the relationship
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
Realizing that problems were not as significant as previously thought
Are we out of the woods?
Asking if we've fully overcome the struggles
