Their new single “Wolves” immediately caught the ears of SiriusXM’s AltNation and was placed in full rotation. The song climbed the Alt18 Countdown (based on fan votes) - peaking at #7. It also received spins on KROQ and reached #2 on alternative specialty radio's FMQB and KKBB singles charts.
The band is headed back into the studio this summer to record a follow-up LP to be released in early 2016 via Fairfax Recordings.
Wolves
Dreamers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never made it this far
They all were dust
When they saw what you are
Still I chase you down
To the place you hide
Make it out alive
You got me brainwashed
You got me so lost
You got me fucked up
Like you
You got me drugged up
You got me undone
Falling in love
Like you do
And if you lie down with wolves
You learn to howl
You got me brainwashed
You got me so lost
You got me fucked up
Like you
Oh dear I pray
So I wait by the moon
Knowing your stray
Silhouette hunts you too
Still I chase you down
Couldn't keep away
Fever's coming now
I want the high again
You got me brainwashed
You got me so lost
You got me fucked up
Like you
You got me drugged up
You got me undone
Falling in love
Like you do
And if you lie down with wolves
You learn to howl
You got me brainwashed
You got me so lost
You got me fucked up
Like you
Ooh, Ooh Ooh, Oohoohoohoohooh (x4)
(Chorus x 2 after bridge)
The song "Wolves" by Dreamers is about being deeply infatuated with someone who is toxic and dangerous, like a wolf. The first verse mentions how the person the singer is pursuing is different from anyone else they've encountered before; they have an allure that draws the singer in despite the potential danger. The chorus emphasizes how the person has a manipulative power over the singer and how being with them leads to a loss of control and a sense of being trapped in their grasp. The line "And if you lie down with wolves, you learn to howl" is a warning about the effects that being in a toxic relationship can have on a person, changing them in ways they may not have ever imagined.
The second verse continues with the theme of obsession and chasing after the toxic person, despite knowing that it's not healthy. The singer seems to be addicted to the rush they get from being around this person and feels compelled to pursue them even though it could lead to their downfall. The bridge of the song repeats the chorus twice, emphasizing the idea that being with this person leads to a loss of control and a sense of being caught up in something beyond one's ability to escape.
