Wolves
Chama C. Fox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Romulus and Remus in their first years
They start to pace, are they to be feared?
And again and again another day goes by
The wolves out my window, the wolves are asking why

The wolves
The wolves
The wolves
The wolves

Wild dogs out there only live six years
Why am I not treating my life as something dear
I could be out there all living free
But here I'll do what's told till the day hell will freeze

The wolves
The wolves
The wolves
The wolves

They might think that I'd just died
Gotten sick or perhaps suicide
But I guess it's true, just in a sense
'Cept that I'll be born again

The wolves
The wolves




The wolves
The wolves

Overall Meaning

In her song "Wolves," Chama C. Fox paints a vivid picture of the wolves that she says are outside her window. The song alludes to the story of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome according to legend, and their early years. She wonders if the wolves she sees outside her window are to be feared like the twin brothers.


The lyrics then shift to Fox questioning her choices in life compared to the wild dogs that only live for six years. She questions why she isn't treating her life with more value and taking advantage of her freedom. Instead, she is doing what she's told until the day hell freezes over.


The final stanza is more reflective, as Fox wonders if the wolves outside her window would realize if something happened to her. She alludes to the concept of reincarnation, suggesting that perhaps she would be born again, just like the wolves outside her window.


Overall, "Wolves" seems to be a contemplative look at life's choices and the potential for freedom and reinvention.

They may assume that I'm dead.


Gotten sick or perhaps suicide

But I guess it's true, just in a sense
That's true, but only to some extent.


'Cept that I'll be born again
Except, I will have a fresh start in life.
