LONE WOLF
Cancerslug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rise or fall
I'm just another motherfucking worm not fit to crawl
But I still I breathe the air in deeply
Dig my heels into the ground
And wait for what is about to come
There is no way to let it go
There are no compromises left to die in my soul
There is only pain that life has shown
There is no way to let it go
There are no compromises left to die in my soul
Shall I taste the shadow
See the fear in it's eyes
Dig my teeth into it's spine
Yes the storm is rising
And I see the end that is building up from deep inside
There is no pain that life has shown
That is to pray for my soul
There is no will to let it go
Only the need to be alone
There is only pain that life has shown
There is no way to let it go
There are no compromises left to die in my soul
There is no pain that life has shown
That is to pray for my soul
There is no will to let it go
Only the need to be alone
There is no pain that life has shown there is to pray for my soul
There is no
There is no in my soul
The lyrics of Cancerslug's song "Lone Wolf" suggest a sense of isolation and hopelessness. The singer questions whether they should continue on in the darkness, acknowledging their own insignificance and worthlessness. However, despite these feelings, they still cling to life, breathing deeply and waiting for what's to come. The pain of life seems to overwhelm the singer, with no way to let it go. They feel that they have no compromises left in their soul, suggesting that they have already given up so much and have nothing left to give.
As the song progresses, the singer seems to embrace their darkness, tasting the shadow and digging their teeth into it. They see the storm rising and feel the end building up from deep inside. At this point, the singer accepts their fate; there is no pain that life has shown that is not already prayed for their soul. There is no will to let it go, only the overwhelming need to be alone. It seems that the singer has accepted their fate as a lone wolf, resigned to the pain of life and ready to face their end.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lone Wolf" suggest a sense of hopelessness and isolation, with the singer resigned to their fate and the pain that life brings.
Line by Line Meaning
Shall I walk in darkness
Should I continue living in uncertainty and confusion
Rise or fall
To either succeed or fail in life
I'm just another motherfucking worm not fit to crawl
Feeling like an insignificant, worthless individual
But I still breathe the air in deeply
Despite the difficulties, I try my best to keep moving forward
Dig my heels into the ground
Holding onto what stability I have left
And wait for what is about to come
Bracing myself for the worst
There is only pain that life has shown
Life has been filled with suffering
There is no way to let it go
Unable to escape from the pain
There are no compromises left to die in my soul
Cannot sacrifice any more for the sake of others
Shall I taste the shadow
Should I confront my fears
See the fear in it's eyes
Acknowledging the terror within myself
Dig my teeth into it's spine
To attack and defeat my own inner demons
Yes the storm is rising
Troubles are building up
And I see the end that is building up from deep inside
Recognizing that everything is leading towards a catastrophic finale
Only the need to be alone
Desire to distance oneself from everyone else
There is no in my soul
Completely empty and devoid of any feeling or hope
