Out of the Woods
Navigating Love's Wilderness: Anthem Lights' 'Out of the Woods' Journey
Lyrics
Looking at it now it all seems so simple
Reflecting on the past, acknowledging its simplicity.
We were lying on your couch i remember
Recalling a moment of lying on a couch.
You took a polaroid of us
Capturing a moment with a Polaroid picture.
Then discovered (then discovered)
Realizing the world in the photo is vibrant compared to the surroundings.
The rest of the world was black and white
Contrasting the colorful moment with the black-and-white world.
But we were in screaming color
Emphasizing the vividness of the captured moment.
And I remember thinking
Questioning if they have overcome challenges.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Repeating the inquiry about being "out of the woods" and in the clear, seeking resolution.
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?
Reiterating the uncertainty and seeking confirmation.
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
Returning to the present and reevaluating the past.
Last december (last december)
Recalling a past period of breakdown and recovery.
We were built to fall apart
-Then fall back together (back together)
-Your necklace hanging from my neck
Symbolizing a connection through a necklace.
The night we couldn't quite forget
Remembering a memorable night.
When we decided (we decided)
Deciding to rearrange the environment for a dance, symbolizing resilience.
To move the furniture so we could dance
Describing a moment with paper airplanes and a feeling of hope.
Baby, like we stood a chance
-Two paper airplanes flyin', flyin', flyin'
-And I remember thinking
Repeating the questioning and seeking assurance.
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?
Reiterating the uncertainty and seeking confirmation.
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?
Posing a question about the present situation.
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Recalling a challenging moment, initially marked by separation.
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
-When you started cryin', baby, I did, too
-But when the sun came up
-I was lookin' at you
-Remember when we couldn't take the heat
-I walked out and said, "I'm settin' you free
-"
-But the monsters turned out to be just trees
Discovering that perceived threats were just illusions.
And when the sun came up
-You were lookin' at me
-You were lookin' at me
Repeating the questions and expressing relief and clarity.
You were lookin' at me
-I remember, oh, 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?
-Are we in the clear yet?
-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!
Confirming the resolution and expressing satisfaction.
