Hungry Like the Wolf
Dinah Eastwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dark in the city night is a wire
Steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me give me a sign
You feel my heat I?m just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost and I?m found
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I?m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heat I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound. I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive and running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf.

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I?m after you




Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dinah Eastwood's song "Hungry Like the Wolf" describe a man's desire and pursuit of a woman. The first two lines of the song set the scene in a city with a lot of activity, but also convey a sense of danger with the word "wire" suggesting electricity and tension. The following lines indicate a sense of urgency in the man's desire for this woman, with lyrics like "give me a sign" and "I'm just a moment behind." In the second verse, the hunting theme continues with the mention of being "on the hunt" and the man being "lost and found" as he pursues the woman.


The third verse uses more animalistic language with the mention of the man being "hungry like the wolf." This could be interpreted as the man being driven purely by instinct in his pursuit of the woman. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea with the man being "lost and found" and "hungry like the wolf" in his quest for this woman.

I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
