WOLF
La Guerre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when you're hunting in the cold, black night.
And what am I when I follow and compile,
when I trace and lay to size, I'm as vile as that night.
And what I find, I'll take as my prize;
a winning streak, a party fine,
to celebrate my luck, my wasted life.
I inch along the interstate, yeah, it's the slowest I can take,
hours planning out my day and I never know how long to wait,
when you're a sculpture on display it doesnt take a lot to break
but my eyes collect the dust.
And maybe when they clear, i'll unpack and reappear.
Who will keep your bones and reassemble them, make them your home.
Oh, but I don't recognize this way of life.
You're a wolf, always hunger when you're told
when you're hunting in the cold, black night.
And what am I when I follow and compile,
when I trace and lay to size, I'm as vile as that night.
And what I find, I'll take as my prize;
a winning streak, a party fine,
to celebrate my luck, my wasted life.
The lyrics to La Guerre's "Wolf" paint a picture of two separate characters - a wolf and the person following them. The wolf is portrayed as always being hungry and constantly on the hunt, particularly in the black night. The second character is described as one who follows and compiles, tracing things and laying them to size. This character is portrayed as being just as vile as the night itself, suggesting a sense of darkness or evil.
The lyrics go on to describe how the second character desires to find things and take them as their prize, celebrating their "luck" and "wasted life." There is a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction, particularly with lines like "maybe when they clear, I'll unpack and reappear." The character is searching for something, but it is not clear what that is.
Overall, the lyrics to "Wolf" seem to be grappling with themes of identity, restlessness, and the search for fulfillment. The interplay between the two characters - the violent, hungry wolf and the searching, dissatisfied person - creates a sense of tension and unease throughout the song.
