Sooo... What is Wookiefoot ?!? ("...it's a thought that's existing...")
... A Band?? Psychedelic Circus?! Artist collective??? Globe trekking Bliss Junkies?!?!.... Well, it’s all this and more…a high energy magical phenomenon sustained by a large beautiful family of players and believers. We are ordinary people being supported to do extraordinary things. Witnessing so many people around us discover their gifts, and providing an outlet for this spontaneous energy to erupt, remain our inspiration and joy that fuel this ship. We will drive this bus seeking this energy where ever it exists and resonate it where ever we are !! Thank you all for trusting us with this sacred play and believing us into whatever we wish to be in the moment. No matter where we are on the planet.... this is our home....and you will find us here.
Welcome

Come To Life
WookieFoot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and you are your father
you are the beauty and disaster
of all your ansestors
and you
you come to life
we are our grandmother
and we are our grandfather
we are the tradgity
the actor and the author
and we
we come to life
we come to life
you can take this seed
and smash it open
and still you never find
the oak tree hiding inside
say yeah
you can take this seed
and smash it into bits
and still never find
the oak tree hiding inside
dream repeated
and the dream retold
The lyrics of WookieFoot's song "Come to Life" carry a profound message about self-identity and lineage. The opening lines, "you are your mother and you are your father," suggest that we are not separate from our family history, but rather a continuation of it. We embody both the beauty and disaster of our ancestors, carrying their legacy and experiences within us. The chorus, "and you, you come to life," emphasizes the idea that embracing our lineage and recognizing our interconnectedness brings us to life.
The following verse expands this concept to include a collective identity. We are not only our immediate family but also our grandparents, ancestors, and the entire human experience. The line "we are the comedy, we are the tragedy, the actor, and the author" reflects our individual and collective roles in shaping our personal and societal narratives. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the message that we, as individuals and a collective, come to life when we recognize our interconnectedness and embrace our ancestral lineage.
"Come to Life" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to reflect on their origins and identity. It reminds us that we are not alone but rather a part of a larger and interconnected story.
