Moonlight Wolf
Henry Saiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moon illuminates the earth with the lights it doesn't own,
Nocternal birds get carried away by the winds upwards,
You're not sure if you're alone,
It's not a dream, not a nightmare,
Your mind is empty of memories,
As if you have always been here...

Since the begining of time
the horizon is black like the backdrop of a strange thearte
you hold your breath
you are afraid that something awakes
you fear the shadows that clouds cast on the ground
you're afraid of yourself,
you just know you have to keep walking,
keep walking

try to lose yourself
follow my voice
like alice chasing the white rabbit
your only eyes in this universe are your ears
my words into yours
my words are your words
my lips are guarded by your thoughts
reality is a mountain of clay in your hands
there is no script; stolen

the ... the river at your feet
the stars shining on the water
the cosmos drowning,
the rain squishing tiny raindrops,
atoms colliding atoms
the night sky trembling
a presence, a wolf
its gaze throwing the question
I need an answer, now
I need an answer, now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for "Moonlight Wolf" by Henry Saiz express a dreamlike state of being, where the moon illuminates the earth with light it doesn't own, and nocturnal birds get carried away by the winds upwards. The singer is unsure if they are alone and their mind is empty of memories, making it feel like they have always been there. The setting is ominous, with the horizon cloaked in black and shadows cast on the ground, and the singer is afraid of something awakening and of themselves. Despite the fear, they know they must keep walking and try to lose themselves to reality. The singer encourages the listener to follow their voice like Alice chasing the white rabbit, and that reality is a mountain of clay in their hands.


The lyrics then jump to describe the landscape around the singer, with the river at their feet and stars shining on the water. The cosmos drowns and atoms collide as the night sky trembles. A presence, in the form of a wolf, appears and throws a question, demanding an answer now. The lyrics create vivid, surreal images that transport the listener to a world that feels both dangerous and enticing. The ambiguity of the situation and the singer's thoughts make it unclear what is happening, which only adds to the dreamlike atmosphere of the song.
