Song Meaning of “Knocking on Wood” by Spose
Knocking on wood is a song about how painful it can be to have to take risks that may or may not work out. There’s an element of superstition and faith in the chorus – “knock on wood, just to stay alive” – which suggests hoping for luck and protection when it’s time take a leap of faith into the unknown. The years of disappointments, dashed dreams and failures cause the narrator to think twice before they dare to take a chance and risk being hurt again. Despite the apathy and fear, the song is ultimately about having the courage to keep hope alive and giving something new a shot. No matter how difficult it is or how much the risk of failure, a person has to believe in themselves and trust that good things come to those who take a chance and keep pushing forward.
