Deep in the Woods
Tennis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll bring down this house
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
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 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

Overall Meaning

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.
