Wolfen
E Nomine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silva in lumine
Lunae arcana est
Domus mea
Silva in lumine
Stellarum est

Es ist das Tier in mir!
Es weckt die Gier nach dir!
Hab dich zum Fressen gern!
Kannst du mein Verlangen spürn?

Dunkle Wolken und finstere Gedanken,
Die Vollmondnacht zerbricht meine Schranken.
In mir kommt die Gier auf Getier, dass ich massakrier.
Spür diese Lust auf Blut jetzt und hier.
Tief in der Nacht die funkelnden Sterne,
Ein süßer Geruch zieht mich in die Ferne.
Aber Acht wenn ganz sacht in der Nacht meine Glut entfacht
Und der Jäger in mir erwacht!

Silva in lumine
Lunae arcana est
Domus mea
Silva in lumine
Stellarum est

Es ist das Tier in mir!
Es weckt die Gier nach dir!
Hab dich zum Fressen gern!
Kannst du mein Verlangen spürn?

Fremde Gedanken, wilde Gelüste
Das verlangen nach dem zarten Fleisch von Brüsten
Will reißen, will beißen, zerfleischen, zerfetzen,
Bei lustvoller Jagd meine Beute hetzen.
Glutrote Augen folgen deiner Spur,
Die Witterung führt über weite Flur.
Ich mutier zum Tier, bin ein Geschöpf der Nacht.
Ich bin der Jäger des Mondes bis der Morgen erwacht.

Silva in lumine
Lunae arcana est
Domus mea
Silva in lumine
Stellarum est
Stellarum est
Stellarum est

Ahhh!
Ich werd zum Tier!
Ahhh!
Ich werd zum Tier!

Es ist das Tier in mir!
Es weckt die Gier nach dir!
Hab dich zum Fressen gern!
Kannst du mein Verlangen spürn?

Es ist das Tier in mir! (Silva in lumine)
Es weckt die Gier nach dir!
Hab dich zum Fressen gern! (Silva in lumine)
Kannst du mein Verlangen spürn?
(Silva in lumine)

Silva in lumine
Lunae arcana est
Domus mea
Silva in lumine
Stellarum est
Stellarum est

Overall Meaning

The song Wolfen by E Nomine seems to be about an internal struggle between the human and animalistic sides of the singer. The first part of the lyrics describe the singer's connection to nature and the stars, as if they are at home in the forest under the moonlight. However, the chorus then reveals an intense desire for someone, saying that the animal within them wants to consume that person. The second part of the lyrics is about the internal battle between human reasoning and animalistic desires. The full moon seems to bring out the animal in the singer and they feel a craving for flesh. They become a hunter that can't resist the temptation of the hunt.


Overall, the lyrics seem to be exploring our dual nature as humans, and how we can be both creatures of light and dark. The song shows how our animalistic side can sometimes take control, and how we become drawn to the primal desires that lurk within us. The lyrics are filled with imagery that invokes the feeling of the forest, the moon, stars, and the carnal desires.

This is the animal in me!
It wakes up my greed for you!
I would like to eat you!
Can you feel my desire?

Dark clouds and dark thoughts,
The full-moon night smashes my barriers down.
The animal desire that I massacre comes in me.
I feel this bloodlust here and now.
Deep in the night the twinkling stars,
A sweet smell is drawing me into the distance.
But careful if my passion gets aroused quite gently in the night
And the hunter wakes up in me!

This is a great demonstration of male voices before and after puberty.

@malikarsyasakani

As someone who went through puberty, that is too accurate 😂

@cryptid-artha

I LOVE the vocal effects for the 'transformation' with the voice rising in pain then turning to a roar/howl - predatory, fearsome, pained... it's an amazing effect.

@KarrieDreammind5

Well said. E Nomine are unique on so many different levels there's no other like them. I've discovered their music in 2006 when I was 16 and immediately fell in love with it! The awesome thing about their music is that it's 1.dance style 2.German voice actors are reciting the lyrics 3.beautiful Latin usually religious chorus 4.every single track has a different and intriguing subject 5. their videos are awesome. They made a cool rap/techno/disco song out of God's prayer, for God's sake! :P

@Chroma9

I have always loved E Nomine's music. Shame they never had a YouTube of their own that I could find.

@user-ly7hw1kb1d

Это хит и останется на долгие лета. Шедевр одним словом. Я сам немец корни с Поволжья и всегда знал немцы умеют делать музыкальные шедевры мира. Просто Люфтвафэ!!!
