Lost in the Woods Lyrics
Surprise, surprise
I'll have you know I've come to see you die
I'm hard to find, you'll never tell
You know me by now, you know me by now
You do, you do
Reason why, start the conversation
Call it occupation, we'll be here awhile
Reason now, before it's too late
Before you betray yourself
And I to you, to you
I went to the levy, dove into the water
Dove into the water, unchaining my life
Fake the believer, sanctified redeemer
Camouflaged deceiver, so covetous, I
But you... baby
Sitting outside in the cold
I can see that you're not alone
That's vanity swallowing you, come see
That baby, soon she'll be picking her teeth
Not dead, I'll see you all again
In time we all descend
Not yet, and I won't leave
'Til I know what I need to know
You know me by now, you know me by now
You do...
Baby, fear has a mind of its own
Undress, if you see in your bones
And I see how it waited for you
And I see how it baited the hook
Now you're gone and you ain't coming back
Sitting outside in the cold
I can see that you're not alone
Calamity following you, come see
Now baby, sin is a line of a poem
Unknown with a need to know
A throne in a room with a view
But you're lost in the woods
I'll have you know I've come to see you die
I'm hard to find, you'll never tell
You know me by now, you know me by now
You do, you do
Call it occupation, we'll be here awhile
Reason now, before it's too late
Before you betray yourself
And I to you, to you
Dove into the water, unchaining my life
Fake the believer, sanctified redeemer
Camouflaged deceiver, so covetous, I
But you... baby
I can see that you're not alone
That's vanity swallowing you, come see
That baby, soon she'll be picking her teeth
In time we all descend
Not yet, and I won't leave
'Til I know what I need to know
You know me by now, you know me by now
You do...
Undress, if you see in your bones
And I see how it waited for you
And I see how it baited the hook
Now you're gone and you ain't coming back
I can see that you're not alone
Calamity following you, come see
Now baby, sin is a line of a poem
Unknown with a need to know
A throne in a room with a view
But you're lost in the woods

I believe this song is about being close to someone who is ill or lost and can't find their way (lost in the woods) and you are doing all you can to rescue them redeem their soul and finding along the way, you also need to redeem yours as well. One of my favorite and also the most telling lyric stanza is this one:
Baby, Fear has a mind of its own Undress, it'll seep in your bones And I see how it waited for you And I see how it baited the hook Now you're gone and you ain't coming back
Here the person is begging the one in their life to come clean and bare their soul to them so they can help them (undress, it'll seep in your bones) - or come clean or you'll soul will rot forever - (see how it waited for you and see how it baited the hook) - the darkness/sickness in their lives has finally won over and enveloped them fully, it was too late, now this person is gone forever, forever lost in the woods.
