In The Heart Of Wolves
E.Town Concrete Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There can be no shelter in the eye of the storm
Cast into the flames to burn and to die and burn
But instead I found comfort in it's core
Unscathed. I chose the road that's unpaved.
Unfazed. I laid in the bed that I made.
Through rain or shine or rise or fall I won't fall short
Flame, flicker, flicker, flame
Fighting foes you can't contain
Adversity made me the fighter I learned to be
I yearn to be so far on top that
Through rain or shine or rise or fall I won't fall short
I'll win it all. expect me to be the net that is here to catch your fall.
Burn the fuck down.
You will crumble just like the ashes
You will melt within my flame.
The lyrics to E.Town Concrete's song "In the Heart of Wolves" speak to the idea that when faced with adversity, one must embrace their inner strength in order to overcome it. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, stating that in the heart of wolves there can be no mercy or shelter in the eye of the storm. The following lines describe being cast into the flames to burn and die, which may seem like a tragic fate, but the singer finds comfort in it instead. This suggests that facing hardships head-on can be empowering, and that one can find strength in the midst of chaos.
The chorus further reinforces this idea, with the singer proclaiming their fearlessness and determination to succeed. They have chosen a path that may be difficult, but they will not falter and will ultimately win against whatever obstacles come their way. The repetition of "rain or shine or rise or fall" emphasizes that no matter what circumstances arise, the singer will persevere. They even go so far as to promise to be the "net that is here to catch your fall," implying that their strength will inspire and uplift those around them.
The final lines of the song are particularly potent, as they declare that the singer will "burn the fuck down," and that those who oppose them will crumble just like ashes. This suggests that the strength and resilience the singer has found within themselves is powerful enough to overcome any challenge, and that they are a force to be reckoned with.
