Wolves
Azure Ryder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dropped my heart in auburn leaves
And held the moon between my fingertip
The night was stolen by the thieves

But you wasn't in love, found a home in me

The taste of silver rain is never gonna fill you up
The way the candle sways

Could we run with the wolves
If this love isn't the one we choose?
Are you ready to release me now
And let the sky fall to the ground?
Could we run with the wolves?

You swept me up in evergreen
A colour that I didn't know existed
And I caught in the Holocene
We're both following time instead of taking what we need

The taste of silver rain is never gonna fill you up
The way the candle sways

Could we run with the wolves
If this love isn't the one we choose?
Are you ready to release me now
And let the sky fall to the ground?
Could we run with the wolves?

Are we brave enough to change
A love that's gonna make us break?
Are we brave enough to change
A heart that we couldn't breathe without?

Could we run with the wolves
If this love isn't the one we choose?
Are you ready to release me now
And let the sky fall to the ground?
Could we run with the wolves?
Could we run with the wolves?




Could we run with the wolves?
Could we run with the wolves?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Wolves" by Azure Ryder speaks about the complexities of love and the actions one takes in a relationship. The opening lines, "I dropped my heart in auburn leaves and held the moon between my fingertip", paint a picture of someone who is open, vulnerable, and in love. However, they soon realize that their love is not reciprocated, as they sing, "But you wasn't in love, found a home in me". The use of past tense implies that their love has ended, and they are left questioning its validity.


The chorus, "Could we run with the wolves if this love isn't the one we choose? Are you ready to release me now and let the sky fall to the ground?", suggests that the singer is willing to let go of the relationship if it isn't right for them. The repeated question of "Could we run with the wolves?" represents the idea of freedom, adventure, and leaving behind what no longer serves you.


The second verse further emphasizes the dichotomy of love, as the singer describes being swept up and overcome by the beauty of it all, but also recognizing that they are both "following time instead of taking what we need". The message of the song is clear - that love can be both beautiful and painful, but we must be brave enough to choose what is right for us.


Line by Line Meaning

I dropped my heart in auburn leaves
I fell in love and gave my all, only to be left vulnerable and alone


And held the moon between my fingertip
I had the world at my fingertips, but I let it slip away


The night was stolen by the thieves
My happiness was taken by those who didn't care for it


But you wasn't in love, found a home in me
You weren't interested in love, but you found comfort in me


The taste of silver rain is never gonna fill you up
Material things will never satisfy your soul


The way the candle sways
Life is a fleeting and fragile thing


Could we run with the wolves
Can we abandon societal norms and expectations and embrace our wild and true selves?


If this love isn't the one we choose?
Can we break free from the expectations of others and choose our own path in love?


Are you ready to release me now
Are you willing to let go and move on despite the pain?


And let the sky fall to the ground?
Are you willing to let everything around you crumble and fall apart in order to start anew?


Are we brave enough to change
Can we summon the courage to break free from the norm and forge our own path?


A love that's gonna make us break?
Can we sustain a love that seems destined to be doomed?


A heart that we couldn't breathe without?
Can we imagine a life without the person we love, even if it may be for the best?
