Song Meaning of “Lili…Wood” by Rone
Lili…Wood tells the story of a woman who is a strong independent woman who is not easily persuaded by the attractive exterior of a man. She values hard work and intelligence over a man’s good looks and charm. She is a woman who will not be taken advantage of and her strength is evident in the lyrics, “Lili Wood won’t be a fool, she won’t be fooled by love/ She knows the sand from the rocks, how the nonsense gets through.”
She is a woman who won’t be deceived by a man’s attempts to win her over with his looks or “fine things”, and instead prefers to invest her heart in a man who values her for her intelligence and strength. The chorus of the song goes, “Lili Wood won’t be taken in, no/Not just by looks and fine things/ She wants a man who’s a soldier that stands firm on his feet/ Then, maybe Lili can find what she needs.”
Lili…Wood celebrates the idea that women should pursue strong relationships, and not be easily drawn in by superficial appeal. With this song, Rone acknowledges that there is strength in womanhood and that a woman should always strive to find the man who will value her for her intelligence and inner strength.
