Thrown To the Wolves
Four Star Mary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walked on the stones
Then sank through these oceans
Heaven's fields lay bare
I'd give up the ghosts
Locked up inside me
If I ever once cared

And time won't
Ever fade
Silken threads
That break
Thrown to the wolves
I'm always frozen
When will I finally reach the stairs?

Scattered my thoughts
Like dry leaves before me
Blown and cut to shreds
Laughed at the kings
That knelt down before me
Then I severed all their heads

Twenty eight thousand stories higher





Thrown

Overall Meaning

to the Wolves is a song by Four Star Mary that is an emotional portrayal of a person's journey towards self-discovery and acceptance. The lyrics are full of symbolism and metaphors that depict the struggles of an individual in finding their purpose in life.


In the beginning, the lyrics convey a sense of desolation where the singer feels lost and out of place. They have walked on the stones and have now sunk into oceans, which symbolize the weight of their emotions and experiences. Despite being surrounded by the beauty of heaven's fields, they feel empty and devoid of any joy. They wish to let go of their ghosts, but their own apathy prevents them from doing so. The lyric "When will I finally reach the stairs?" refers to the stairs to a higher level of consciousness, but the singer remains stuck, forever frozen.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more rebellious, and the lyrics "Scattered my thoughts like dry leaves before me, blown and cut to shreds" imply that they have lost control over their emotions and actions. The singer mocks the kings that once knelt down before them, which could represent the societal norms they once adhered to. However, they soon realize that they were only hurting themselves and decide to let go of their past. The lyric, "Twenty-eight thousand stories higher," shows that they have reached a new level of enlightenment and are ready to start anew.


Line by Line Meaning

Walked on the stones
I've been through rough, unstable terrain


Then sank through these oceans
But then I fell into deep, overwhelming emotions


Heaven's fields lay bare
Even the things that once brought me joy and peace feel empty and barren now


I'd give up the ghosts Locked up inside me If I ever once cared
If I still had the capacity to care, I'd let go of the things that haunt me and hold me back


And time won't Ever fade Silken threads That break Thrown to the wolves I'm always frozen When will I finally reach the stairs?
It feels like no matter how much time passes or how delicate and precious my life is, it all just falls apart and I'm left vulnerable and powerless. I'm constantly stuck and fearful, wondering when I'll find a way forward


Scattered my thoughts Like dry leaves before me Blown and cut to shreds
My mind is in chaos and I feel like I have no control over my thoughts and emotions


Laughed at the kings That knelt down before me Then I severed all their heads
I had power and influence over others, and I used it to humiliate and destroy them


Twenty eight thousand stories higher
I feel like I'm at an insurmountable height, with so much distance between where I am and where I want to be
