“Wood” - The Tallest Man Who Ever Lived? | Taylor Swift Lyric Analysis (TLOAS e9)

Buckle up, because we’re about to scale the tallest living organism on the planet!  In “Wood”, track 9 of The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift uses superstitions, double entendres, and superstitions as double entendres to show us the forest through the trees. But is this song all cheeky innuendo, or is she erecting something more sentimental here?  In this episode of the Swiftly Sung Stories Podcast, we’re chopping down the lyrics of Wood, one ring at a time. We’ll uncover Taylor’s past superstitions, how they didn’t measure up to any measure of a man, and see if she’s finally found her redwood tree in a sea of Pinnochios. ✨ Swiftly Sung Stories dives deep into Taylor Swift’s storytelling craft, exploring her lyrics through the lens of literature, emotion, and the art of songwriting.  📚 Subscribe for more Taylor Swift lyric analysis, literary breakdowns, and storytelling deep dives.  ✏️Check out my website for all my lyrical analysis, quizzes, album breakdowns, and so much more: SwiftlySungStories.com.
