Into the woods without delay, but careful not to lose the way.

Into the woods who knows what may be lurking on the journey.

Into the woods to get the thing that makes it worth the journey.

Into the woods to see the key to tell the car. The

greatest stronghold of nature, the woods have engaged the imagination of humankind as long as we've been around.

Like water, the woods are simultaneously a place of danger and a source of life, a place of mystery and of growth, a place we explore but don't always have mastery over.

The number of folk tales where the woods presents a journey, growth, and danger is endless.

In the Little Red Riding Hood, the protagonist leaves the safety of her village to venture into the

woods, to Grandmother's house, only to meet the dangerous wolf.

Maturation and vital life skills are obtained in the chaos of the woods where a predator could

lurk around any corner.

but rather find peace within them. From Spotify I'm Cole Kushna and this is Dissect, long-form musical analysis broken into short
