Wolves
Kill Them With Colour - Bon Iver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your blame
And walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
Solace my game, solace my game
It stars you
Swing wide your crane, swing wide your crane
And run me through
And the story's all over you
In the morning I'll call you
Can't you find a clue
when your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost (don't bother me)
What might have been lost (don't bother me)
What might have been lost (don't bother me)
What might have been lost (don't bother me)
What might have been lost (don't bother me)
What might have been (don't bother me) (what might have been lost)
What might have been lost (don't bother me) (what might have been)
What might have been lost (don't bother me)
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
Ah
Ah
Someday, my pain
Someday, my pain
Someday, my pain
Someday, my pain
The lyrics of Kill Them With Colour's version of Bon Iver's "Wolves" is a song about a deep feeling of pain and regret over a lost opportunity. The song begins with the representation that someday the pain of the singer will mark someone else. The phrase "harness your blame" means to accept the responsibility for the occurrence of the painful experience, and the phrase "and walk through" could mean moving on through life's journey. The singer further expresses that one should be prepared to face the wild wolves, which could symbolize the trials of everyday life or the cynicism that abounds in the world.
The singer asks for solace in their game, which could mean healing from the pain, and this, as expressed, "stars you." The phrase "swing wide your crane and run me through" could be a metaphor for the pain that runs through the singer's heart, while the "story all over you" is a clear reference to the experience that one can't escape it, no matter how hard they try. The singer concludes by saying that even though they can't find a clue, they are painted with blues like Sinatra.
Overall, the song is a beautiful piece that expresses a deep sense of loss and regret. It calls for us to accept our responsibility for what happens in our lives and move on even when it hurts.
