2. Australian Indie band containing two brothers, two cousins and a mystery bass player. Tennis have left the halcyon days of art school behind in pursuit of the perfect musical storm. Tennis played their first gig at a strip club in Surry Hills circa ’06, simultaneously debuting in Sydney’s indie and adult entertainment scenes.
Pursuing the former rather than the latter, Tennis have since graced the stages of many more credible venues, supporting the likes of; Matt & Kim(USA), The Ruby Suns(NZ), Wolf and Cub, Children Collide, Lost Valentinos, Tame Impala and The Holidays. Their colliding beats, wild rhythms, melodic vocals and stark atmospheres meld into a festive music de force driving listeners into a sweaty rapture.

Deep in the Woods
Tennis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll creep in and out
The thieves of the wind leaving no trace about
But all that I touch will be changed beyond doubt
Mind you I'll mind you I'm mine to protect
I will watch over you who will suspect
Deep in the wood where no one can detect
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The curse on this house has been cast throughout
Only I know what lingers without
All that has led me be proof beyond doubt
Bury my love right deep in the ground
I went from watchful eyes all around
Save for the treasure that can not be found
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to
Let you be consumed
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The lyrics of Tennis's song "Deep in the Woods" convey a sense of protection, transformation, and sacrifice. The singer is determined to bring down a metaphorical house, symbolizing old beliefs or patterns, and replace it with something new. They possess the power to move through this process unnoticed, like the wind. However, their touch has the ability to change everything permanently, an indication of their own agency and strength.
The lyrics also paint a picture of a mysterious glowing light within the woods, symbolizing a transformative force. It appears that change is imminent and unstoppable, rapidly consuming everything in its path. The singer acknowledges that it might be the end, the last thing in sight, and they know that allowing others to be consumed by the light is the right decision. There is a sense of sacrifice and acceptance of the consequences of this transformation.
The curse on the house mentioned suggests a lingering, negative energy that the singer is aware of, but others are oblivious to. They carry the burden of this knowledge, providing proof that something beyond the ordinary exists. The treasure that cannot be found refers to their unique wisdom or insight, hidden within the depths of the woods.
Overall, the song's lyrics explore themes of personal power, transformation, sacrifice, and the burden of knowledge. It presents the idea that change is inevitable and that sometimes it is necessary to let go and be consumed by the light, embracing the unknown.

I'll bring down this house
I will destroy everything in my path
I'll creep in and out
I will move secretly and unnoticed
The thieves of the wind leaving no trace about
I will be elusive, leaving no evidence behind
But all that I touch will be changed beyond doubt
Everything I influence will be forever altered
Mind you I'll mind you I'm mine to protect
I will guard what belongs to me
I will watch over you who will suspect
I will protect you without your knowledge
Deep in the wood where no one can detect
In a hidden place, beyond anyone's awareness
In the wood something glowing
There is a mysterious light in the woods
A burning light has started growing

It seems that a transformation is imminent
Consuming us fast, change is upon us

The smoke in the night
The haze amidst the darkness
The ash on the light
The remnants on the source of illumination

I believe it could be the final thing we see
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
I am certain that it is necessary for you to be engulfed by the light
The curse on this house has been cast throughout
The malevolent spell has affected this dwelling completely
Only I know what lingers without
I alone am aware of the hidden presence
All that has led me be proof beyond doubt
Everything that has guided me is undeniable evidence
Bury my love right deep in the ground
Conceal my affections completely
I went from watchful eyes all around
I escaped the scrutiny of those observing
Save for the treasure that can not be found
Except for the elusive treasure that remains undiscovered
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
I am certain that it is necessary for you to be engulfed by the light
The smoke in the night
The haze amidst the darkness
The ash on the light
The remnants on the source of illumination
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I believe it could be the final thing we see
I know now I am right to
I am now sure that I am justified to
Let you be consumed
Allow you to be devoured
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
I am certain that it is necessary for you to be engulfed by the light
