The Woods
Wolfgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i hid in darkened rooms
i didn't know what waited on the other side
of where i knew
at the first i kept my silent hopes
i hid them in my heart
from the people who were all afraid
but i'm not
at the first i crossed unwritten lines
i heard unspoken dreams
come from places that i'd never been
with long forgotten kings
i saw the wishes from the falling stars
i felt them hit the sea
while the light came from the rising sun
and scattered through the leaves
and i saw
in the woods i found a faithful friend
who spent their days with me
we laughed and cried and shared our hopes
before i had to leave
then the sound of crowds came rolling through
i woke up in the streets
with the people who were all afraid
to live and seek their dreams
and i said
i can't wait until i find you again
where have you been?
i miss you
carry me until i find the time to spend
in the trees again
i can hear you calling
I can't wait until i find you again
Where have you been?
I miss you
Carry me until i find the time to spend
In the trees again
I can hear you calling
I can't until i find you again
Where have you been?
I miss you
Carry me until i find the time to spend
In the trees again
I can hear you calling
The lyrics of Wolfgun's song, The Woods, tells the story of an individual's life journey and their discovery of a faithful friend in the woods. At first, the individual hid away from the world, not knowing what lay on the other side. But then they began to cross boundaries and explore unchartered territories, discovering the long-forgotten dreams of their heart. They found a friend who shared their joys and sorrows and understood their hopes. However, the call of society was hard to ignore, and the individual woke up in the street, with people who were afraid to dream and live.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for the time spent in the woods with the faithful friend. The repeated lines, "I can't wait until I find you again, where have you been?" reflect the individual's desire to return to the comfort of the woods and the friendship they had found there. The Woods can be interpreted as a metaphor for a simpler time or a state of mind where one is free from society's pressures and expectations.
Overall, Wolfgun's The Woods speaks to the human longing for connection and a deeper sense of meaning in life that can often be found in unexpected places.

Wolfgun, I was just exposed to your music yesterday and may I say... you have amazing talent. I love the tempo and the tune. Such lovely things ^~^ I listened to this song as I wrote something on my Facebook. I ended up writing about the value of life and special little moments which we only understand as individuals. I thank you personally for being you and creating such amazing songs to bless my ears with. I hope that I may learn about you somehow, but until then I will just have to meet you through your music. :) I wish you endless amounts of support! You're very good. No doubt that if you keep pressing, you'll get recongnized! :D Already showed my friend Ashli this video. c:
