Kauf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wolf child, there's a moon full
Dripping with a black ink
Nets lashed, made the crossing
Thick coat, it's a rough cold
Wolf child, there's a moon full
Dripping with a black ink
The key lost, with the ashes
Asking for a true list
And Spring rose with a strong wind
We're laughing like the birds sing
Keep trying, keep trying, for the love that you wanted
Work harder, work smarter, work fingers to the bone
What will it get me?
Keep trying, keep trying, for the love that you wanted
Work harder, work smarter, work fingers to the bone
What will it get me?
Will it get me?
Will it get me?
Will it get me?
Will it get me?
Kauf's song 100 starts with the lyrics, "Thick coat, it's a rough cold / Wolf child, there's a moon full / Dripping with a black ink / Nets lashed, made the crossing." The imagery in the lyrics creates a sense of desolation and isolation, with the persona wearing a thick coat to stay warm in the cold weather. The "wolf child" could be a reference to the persona feeling like an outsider, while the "moon full" may represent a sense of completion or fulfillment that is just out of reach. The "black ink" dripping could either represent a sense of negativity or darkness surrounding the persona, or it could represent the persona stylizing their appearance with ink. The "nets lashed, made the crossing" could represent the persona's perseverance and determination to cross a challenging obstacle.
The lyrics later state, "The key lost, with the ashes / Asking for a true list / And Spring rose with a strong wind / We're laughing like the birds sing." These lyrics could represent a loss or a sense of starting over, with the key lost along with ashes possibly symbolizing someone's passing or a sense of mourning. The persona is then "asking for a true list," which could refer to an introspective searching for what truly matters. The Spring season rising with a strong wind is a symbol of change, and the persona laughs like the birds sing, indicating a newfound sense of joy.
Overall, the lyrics in Kauf's song 100 touch on themes of perseverance, perseverance, and renewal. It paints a picture of someone pushing through obstacles and coming out on the other side with a newfound appreciation for life.
