Bed with the Wolf
Keiino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
Look to my left
I see a total stranger
How things have changed
Why do I play with fire?
Met in the woods
Told me it was his first rave
And that we should
Go back to his together
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I gotta leave, now
I cannot be here, gotta pull the breaks
In the bed, in the bed, now, uh
In the bed, in the bed, now
Don't wanna leave, 'cause
My body didn't come here by mistake
In the bed, in the bed, now, uh
In the bed, and it feels good
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
It's time to go
Sunrise, we lie here KO'd
Back to a life
Where I don't play with fire
I'm getting numb
Try to avoid to look back
Into his eyes
That brought me to my knees
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I gotta leave, now
I cannot be here, gotta pull the breaks
In the bed, in the bed, now, uh
In the bed, in the bed, now
Don't wanna leave, 'cause
My body didn't come here by mistake
In the bed, in the bed, now, uh
In the bed, and it feels good
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
Don't wanna leave, now
'Cause all I ever wanted is right here
In the bed, in the bed, now, uh
In the bed, in the bed, now
Don't wanna leave, 'cause
My body didn't come here by mistake
In the bed, in the bed, now, uh
In the bed, and it feels good
I'm in bed with the wolf
I'm in, I'm in bed with the wolf, now
The lyrics to Keiino's song Bed with the Wolf depict a moment of temptation and surrender. The singer finds themselves in bed with a stranger, whom they refer to as the wolf, after meeting him in the woods at a rave. The lyrics express a reluctance to leave this encounter, as it feels both thrilling and comfortable. The singer is torn between the desire to stay and the knowledge that they should leave. The use of the image of the wolf adds to the tension of the situation, as wolves are often associated with danger and wildness, while also being a symbol of loyalty and strength.
The first verse sets up the scene, with the singer waking up next to the stranger and questioning their own decisions. The second verse reveals that it's morning and time to go, but the singer is struggling to leave the situation behind. Throughout the song, there is a constant tension between the singer's desire to stay and their need to leave, which is emphasized by the repetition of the chorus.
Overall, Bed with the Wolf is a song about the complexities of desire and temptation. It explores the ways in which we can be drawn to things that we know are not good for us, but which feel irresistible nonetheless.

Omg! This song perfectly matches with the Subwoolfer’s concept.
There are so many coincidences in the video:
1. >>meet in THE WOODS line (Subwoolfer’s translator Samantha music label’s name)
2. There’s Italy stickers on wolf’s case (the country where Eurovision took place)
3. The fact that this anthropomorphic wolf wears human clothes
4. Subwoofers. Even though it was his first rave, the wolf definitely loves subwoofers and music (they even got their name because of these things)
5. Hided human identity inside this wolf body (WHAT MASK? Of course, Keith and Jim are real wolves but we can't ignore the rumors 🤭)

I always find it so cringe worthy when people say that.. Arcade was a classy deserved winner.. Spirit in the sky would've been a great one too, history decided.. Let it rest!
