Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus doen't love you
Never died for you
Doesn't care

jesus couldn't save you
Died for his oun sin
Wasn't pure
the preacher man
You're just his whore

he's your pimp
And your mind
Is a frozen door

hey little red ridinghood
Big bad wolf

every thing you love
I hate
The bottom is the top
& that is great
Hot is cold
Cold is hot
Come on baby
Show me what you got
Little red ridinghood
I'm the big bad wolf

Jesus couldn't save you
Never would





Big Bad Wolf

Overall Meaning

The song "Big Bad Wolf" by Edward is a dark and cynical commentary on religion and authority. The lyrics "Jesus doesn't love you, never died for you, doesn't care" suggest a lack of faith and belief in a higher power, and that the concept of salvation is futile. This disbelief in religion is further emphasized in the lines "Jesus couldn't save you, died for his own sin, wasn't pure" which questions the purity and power of the religious figurehead. The use of the word "pure" here also implies that the singer sees themselves as beyond morality and purity. The lyric "the preacher man, you're just his whore, he's your pimp" suggests that religion is just another form of control, and that the church and its leaders are manipulating people for their own benefit.


The second half of the song takes on a more visceral quality. The use of the metaphor of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf alludes to the predatory nature of humanity, particularly when it comes to power dynamics. The lines "everything you love, I hate, the bottom is the top and that is great, hot is cold, cold is hot" reflect a nihilistic outlook, where traditional values and ethics are overturned and replaced with chaos and destruction. The line "show me what you got" feels like a challenge directed at society as a whole, where the singer is daring anyone to try and outdo them in their lawlessness.


Overall, "Big Bad Wolf" is a provocative and unsettling work, challenging the listener's beliefs about religion, power, and morality.
