WOLF
Kathryn Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You chose silence
You chose it more than life
You chose everything that you could
I knew from then more would be had from you
'Cause you blow the life
You blew the light
You blow the life out of her
You sit around
You sit around
Wanting her
To want you back

You don't see yourself as the wolf
You only see her as the girl
You won't be out in the woods
You'll be waiting for her behind the curtains
You don't see the mess you've made
You don't see the life you've taken from her

With every breath you suck in
You're more than the wolf
You're more than the wolf
Suck in like wolf
Suck in, suck in, suck in




Suck in, suck in, suck in
Sucking

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kathryn Williams's song "Wolf" describe a toxic relationship in which one partner (presumably male) has chosen silence and inaction, causing the other partner (presumably female) to feel neglected and unhappy. The chorus speaks to the destructive nature of this dynamic, with lines like "You blow the life out of her" and "You're more than the wolf," suggesting that the male partner is harming the female partner in a profound and lasting way. The lyrics also imply that the male partner is oblivious to his role in the situation, seeing only the female partner as the problem and failing to recognize the damage he is doing.


Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship in which one partner has all the power and the other is left feeling powerless and alone. The use of the wolf metaphor is particularly effective, as it suggests not only the predatory nature of the male partner, but also his ability to blend in to his surroundings and conceal his true nature from those around him.
