WOLF
Kokoro Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tell you that the war is over,
deadly soldier.
who will be the one to
pull you from the edge,
who will be the one to
tell you it's a nasty habit,
deadly rabbit.
save you from your rage,
wolf at the door here i'm crying,
wolf at the door run if you can.
wolf at the door here i'm crying,
coming for more run if you can.
big bad wolf.
put your swords away,
take your armies down,
put them all away,
leave the battle ground.
who will be the one to say
you've got to march no longer,
deadly soldier.
who will be the one to take
you of the stage,
who will be the one to
tell you it's a nasty habit,
deadly rabbit.
who will be the one to free
you from this cage,
wolf at the door here i'm crying,
wolf at the door run if you can.
wolf at the door here i'm crying,
coming for more run if you can.
big bad wolf.
wolf at the door coming for more.
The lyrics to Kokoro Thief's song "Wolf" suggest someone going through a difficult and deadly situation of war, possibly as a soldier. The song asks who will be there to guide and save the person from the edge of their rage and from the nasty habit that war has become for them. The chorus repeats with the haunting image of a wolf at the door, howling for help, as if representing the person's inner turmoil and the danger they may face.
The lyrics further plead for the war to stop, for the armies to be put away, and for someone to tell the person that they don't have to march any longer. The use of deadly soldier and deadly rabbit may suggest a sense of desperation and chaos within the mind of the person trapped in the war, and how they need someone to pull them out of it. The wolf at the door, coming for more, is a chilling representation of the person's struggle, and the urgency of the need for help.
Overall, the meaning behind the lyrics of "Wolf" is deep and dark, portraying a sense of emptiness and despair in someone trapped in a war. The wolf who is crying for help could be seen as their own inner voice that is calling out for someone to save them from the torment they face.
