Be All Things
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
Walking the old path turned me towards death
The ravens woke at dawn
And daylight plumed my skin
Then the air was full, simply composed of prey
I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I've got to let go
I want to be all things
The lion and the wolf
Gnarling at eternal sleep
Let it burn
Hear it groan
Restrained desire
Cast it down
I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I've got to let go
I want to be all things
I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I've got to let go
I want to be all things

In an interview for the Revolver magazine explained the meaning and inspiration behind Be All Things:
"It’s very introspective and it’s very triumphant. Conceptually, it’s about a Victorian-era woman who is a maiden but very much wants to be a warrior — and just thinking about nature and environmentalism and how long that has been a problem and how we’re trying to make changes but still we’re just destroying the earth. Just when it seems like something’s changing, it just gets worse. Read Full BioIn an interview for the Revolver magazine explained the meaning and inspiration behind Be All Things:

Conceptually, it’s about a Victorian-era woman who is a maiden but very much wants to be a warrior — and just thinking about nature and environmentalism and how long that has been a problem and how we’re trying to make changes but still we’re just destroying the earth. Just when it seems like something’s changing, it just gets worse. I think my music in general represents the soft and the strong, embracing the feminine and masculine of myself. This album is very much along the theme of that dichotomy. And I think a lot of people can relate to that, as well, whether it’s a man or woman, a non-gender-specific person. I think a lot of people are starting to embrace that about themselves, the soft and strong, and then really finding that empowering.
[...] It’s a bit of a reaction, but it’s also just something that’s really been a part of me for a long time. I’m not just one thing. You can’t really put me or my music into a box. Sometimes that’s frustrating for me because I think maybe it holds me back in a way, but then sometimes I think that is why I’ve been able to do what I do and why I have any kind of success as an artist and a musician. I’m saying in the song: “I want to be all things.” I don’t want to be held back anymore and I don’t want to feel like I need to quiet my voice. I just want to be who I am and be free."

Walking the old path turned me towards death
The ravens woke at dawn
And daylight plumed my skin
Then the air was full, simply composed of prey
I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I've got to let go
I want to be all things
Warriors, newborns, and queens
The lion and the wolf
Gnarling at eternal sleep
Let it burn
Hear it groan
Restrained desire
Cast it down
I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I've got to let go
I want to be all things
I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I've got to let go
I want to be all things

I saw her at day for night festival in houston in 2016. Near the end of her set a massive flock of thousands of birds flew over the stage and the crowd. What followed was the biggest storm I've ever experienced. I can't help but draw the conclusion that Chelsea Wolfe is a real-deal witch. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen
David
Wow that must have been awesome and frightening at the same time
Dan Of The Dead
Yeah I saw her 2013 in Barcelona and have never left a concert feeling in a dream-like state like that before.. my friends felt the same, definitely bewitching

Holy

Allan Ray

It is not the song. It is yourself your own mind. Anyway it like an life art. Asking yourself not only accepting your own strong side. Not the weak side which is also part of yourself.
