Thrown To the Wolves
Evita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So this is how it feels to be stuck to the walls then wake up,
In the same old dream where there is no air for me to grasp.
Now show me the right path to take,
I guess it's upto me now, to figure this out for myself.
Time to get out of this routine,
Time for me to decide my own life.
I'll carry your words on my back,
And I won't notice the scars they leave behind.
There is a place that we call home,
Heaven is hatred, betrayal.
Someone please hold me in close,
So I can erase deants in my back.
I'll carry your words on my back,
And I won't notice the scars they leave behind.
Get me out of this place, I am no longer afraid of the arrogance.
Your words, just fall...
On deaf ears, I guess we all find out nothing is set in stone now,
Is that what you came to see?
Just watch it fall down in ruins.
And I'll...
I'll carry your words on my back,
And I won't notice the scars they leave behind.
The lyrics of "Thrown to the Wolves" by Evita express a sense of confusion and disillusionment, but also a determination to find one's own way. The opening lines suggest a feeling of being trapped, unable to find a clear direction or sense of purpose. The dream-like imagery of being "stuck to the walls" and unable to breathe creates a sense of suffocation and helplessness. However, the refrain "I guess it's up to me now, to figure this out for myself" signals a shift towards self-reliance and taking control of one's own life.
The next verse emphasizes the need to break free from routine and make one's own choices. The line "I'll carry your words on my back, and I won't notice the scars they leave behind" suggests a willingness to learn from others but also an awareness that this can be a painful process. The final lines of the verse introduce a theme of displacement and a longing for a sense of belonging: "There is a place that we call home, Heaven is hatred, betrayal. Someone please hold me close, so I can erase the ants in my back." The image of ants crawling on one's back is a metaphor for inner turmoil and a desire to escape from the burdens of the past.
The final verse expresses a sense of frustration and anger towards those who have tried to control and limit the singer's life. The line "Get me out of this place, I am no longer afraid of the arrogance" suggests a desire to rebel against authority and forge one's own path. The repetition of the refrain "I'll carry your words on my back, and I won't notice the scars they leave behind" reinforces the idea that while others may try to influence us, we ultimately have the power to determine our own destinies.
