Wood
[Verse 1]Daisy’s bare naked, i was distraught.He loves me not, he loves me not.Penny’s unlucky, i took him back,And then stepped on a crack,And the black cat laughed.
[Pre-Chorus]And baby, i’ll admitI’ve been a little superstitious (superstitious).Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine (hand on mine).Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck.A bad sign is all good,I ain’t gotta knock on wood.
[Chorus]All of that bitchin’, wishing on a falling star,Never did me any good,I ain’t got to knock on wood.It’s you and me forever dancing in the dark (ah),All over me, it’s understood,I ain’t got to knock on wood.
[Post-Chorus]Forgive me, it sounds cocky.He ah-matized me and opened my eyes.Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see,His love was the key that opened my thighs.
[Verse 2]Girls, i don’t need to catch the bouquet, mm,To know a hard rock is on the way.
[Pre-Chorus]And baby, i’ll admit i’ve been a little superstitious (superstitious).The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (ah).Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck.New heights (new heights) of manhood (manhood),I ain’t gotta knock on wood.
[Chorus](Ah) all of that bitchin’,Wishing on a falling star,Never did me any good,I ain’t got to knock on wood.(Ah) it’s you and me forever dancing in the dark (ah),All over me, it’s understood,I ain’t got to knock on wood.
[Post-Chorus]Forgive me, it sounds cocky.He ah-matized me and opened my eyes.Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see,His love was the key that opened my thighs.
Forgive me, it sounds cocky.He ah-matized me and opened my eyes.Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see,His love was the key that opened my thighs.
Listed as track 9 on the life of a showgirl, the title “wood” stands out for its simplicity and layered possibilities. some fans believe it could be a metaphor for strength, resilience, or growth, while others think it might hint at something more intimate or symbolic. a few have even drawn connections to fairy-tale themes, suggesting a possible reference to pinocchio and the idea of becoming “real,” which could reflect the transformation between public image and personal truth.
Taylor swift is known for embedding deeper meanings in her lyrics, so “wood” may explore both literal and emotional terrain. it could use nature-inspired imagery to reflect themes like identity, vulnerability, or emotional shelter. as with many of her songs, listeners expect poetic storytelling and a production style that supports the emotional core of the track. until the album drops, the true meaning remains a mystery.
