WOLF
Allan Rayman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's all said and done
And when the wolves return to hunt
And for the taste, he'll chase it
Throw it all away to taste it
Yeah, when it's all said and done
And when the wolves return to hunt
And for the taste, he'll chase it
Throw it all away to taste it

He based his plans on emotion
His father tells him it's dangerous
That's the risk that he takes, though
When he pushes his limits

This is brotherhood, 512
We all lost a brother, won't lose two
Above money, above fame
Above love, give me truth
This is coming home drunk and sick, late night shit
Wanna punch the wall and break lights in
This is patience wearing thin
When I have it all and no one to share it with
No one to share it with
Swear to God I'm sick

Yeah, when it's all said and done
And when the wolves return to hunt (oh)
And for the taste, he'll chase it
Throw it all away to taste it
Yeah, when it's all said and done
And when the wolves return to hunt (oh)
And for the taste, he'll chase it
Throw it all away to taste it

Well I know this corpse has more to him
Stumble around, thinking out loud
That's the way I've been feeling
And I know this heart still needs healing




Sticking around, out on the town
That's the way I've been feeling

Overall Meaning

The song "Wolf" by Allan Rayman is an introspective look at the risk-taking and emotional rollercoaster that comes with pushing one's limits. The opening lines, "When it's all said and done, And when the wolves return to hunt" introduce a theme of consequence and accountability. The idea of the wolf returning to hunt suggests the haunting of past mistakes and the fear of one's own predatory nature. The line "And for the taste, he'll chase it, Throw it all away to taste it" speaks to the addiction of desire and the willingness to sacrifice everything for a fleeting pleasure.


The second verse introduces the idea of brotherhood and the loss of a fellow member. The line "We all lost a brother, won't lose two" speaks to the profound connection and loyalty within the group. The subsequent lines "Above money, above fame, Above love, give me truth" suggest the prioritization of authenticity and integrity over external rewards. The bridge delves deeper into the singer's struggles with isolation and the emptiness that comes with material success.


Overall, "Wolf" is a complex meditation on the inner workings of the human psyche and its contradictions. It highlights the dangers of unchecked desire and the importance of community and truth.


Line by Line Meaning

When it's all said and done
Once everything is finished and concluded


And when the wolves return to hunt
When the danger and struggles come back to haunt me


And for the taste, he'll chase it
Despite the risk, he will go after what he wants


Throw it all away to taste it
Sacrifice everything just to get a taste of what he desires


He based his plans on emotion
The decisions he made were based on feelings rather than logic


His father tells him it's dangerous
His father advises him about the possible negative consequences


That's the risk that he takes, though
Despite being warned, he still takes the risk


When he pushes his limits
When he attempts to exceed his capabilities


This is brotherhood, 512
This is a community of people who share a bond, in this case a location (512)


We all lost a brother, won't lose two
We have already experienced the pain of losing one person, we cannot bear to lose another


Above money, above fame
Integrity is more important than wealth or recognition


Above love, give me truth
Rather than false affection, he values honesty


This is coming home drunk and sick, late night shit
This is a moment of personal weakness, late at night when he is not at his best


Wanna punch the wall and break lights in
He is so frustrated and angry that he wants to act out destructively


This is patience wearing thin
His ability to remain calm and rational is running out


When I have it all and no one to share it with
Even with everything he may accumulate, he still feels alone


Swear to God I'm sick
He feels unwell, spiritually or emotionally


Well I know this corpse has more to him
He believes he still has untapped potential despite feeling defeated


Stumble around, thinking out loud
He is unsure and unsteady, vocalizing his thoughts to try and make sense of them


That's the way I've been feeling
This is how things have repeatedly been for him


And I know this heart still needs healing
He still carries emotional wounds that need attention


Sticking around, out on the town
He remains in the area, engaging with the community and seeking comfort


That's the way I've been feeling
This is how he has been coping and operating
