Big Bad Wolf
Aesthetic Perfection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hear me knocking on your heart,
If you let me in
I swear I won't tear you apart,
Love, oh no

You hear that beating of my heart,
Alone in my own skin,
And be myself,
With someone else,
Never turned out well,
But I'm coming

I smell your blood from far away
You've lost because
I've got your scent
I'm on the hunt
There's nowhere to run
'Cause I'm coming

My lover what have you become?
Why must you look at me that way?

Because my dear you look so good
(Yay-yeah)
You're good enough to eat
(Hooo-ooh)
I'll never let you go
(Yay-yeah)
Once I have sunk my teeth into you

I hear the trembling in your voice,
Don't be afraid
I'm not as vicious as the tomes say,
I'm just hungry

My lover what have you become?
Why must you look at me that way?

Because my dear you look so good
(Yay-yeah)
You're good enough to eat
(Hooo-ooh)
I'll never let you go
(Yay-yeah)
Once I have sunk my teeth into you

My dear you look so good
(Yay-yeah)
You're good enough to eat
(Hooo-ooh)
I'll never let you go
(Yay-yeah)
Once I have sunk my teeth into you

Little pig, little pig, won't you let me in?
Little pig, little pig, won't you let me in?
Little pig, little pig, won't you let me in?
Little pig, little pig, won't you let me in?

Because my dear you look so good
(Yay-yeah)
You're good enough to eat
(Hooo-ooh)
I'll never let you go
(Yay-yeah)
Once I have sunk my teeth into you

My dear you look so good
(Yay-yeah)
You're good enough to eat
(Hooo-ooh)
I'll never let you go




(Yay-yeah)
Once I have sunk my teeth into you

Overall Meaning

The song "Big Bad Wolf" by Aesthetic Perfection seems to present itself as a love song, but on closer inspection, it's actually a dark and twisted commentary on obsession and possession. The opening verses see the singer "knocking on your heart," asking to be let in and promising not to harm the object of his affection. However, there's a darker subtext at play here, as he goes on to add that he smells their blood "from far away" and that he's on the hunt with nowhere to run. This suggests that he sees himself as a predator, stalking his prey.


The line "My lover what have you become? Why must you look at me that way?" further emphasizes the theme of possession and control, as the singer seems to be grappling with the fact that his love has become an object of desire that he cannot resist. The chorus hammers home this point, with the repeated refrain of "You're good enough to eat, I'll never let you go once I have sunk my teeth into you." This plays on the idea of devouring a loved one, consuming them completely until there is nothing left.


Overall, "Big Bad Wolf" is a disturbing but powerful exploration of the darker side of love and desire. It asks uncomfortable questions about what happens when love turns into possession and how far we're willing to go to get what we want.
