Fangs
Little Red Lung Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I buried your fangs in the heart of a deep well
Your mouth was on fire and bone sore
I know you dug for years below the ground

You shouldn't be wild inside if you're a beast in the headlights

In an instant your predator hands reached to the throat
I knew you were waiting to die the whole time
Your legs they swung for hours in semi-spires





You shouldn't be wild inside if you're a beast in the headlights

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Little Red Lung's song "Fangs" are vivid and haunting, describing a scene in which the singer has buried someone's fangs in a deep well. This person, who is likened to a beast, seems to have been in pain and suffering before their death ("Your mouth was on fire and bone-sore"), yet they also had a predatory instinct that the singer recognized ("In an instant your predator hands reached to the throat").


The chorus, "You shouldn't be wild inside if you're a beast in the headlights," suggests that the person was struggling with their inner demons and perhaps lost control of their primal urges. The imagery of being caught in the headlights of a car furthers this idea of being stuck in a kind of limbo, unable to move forward or escape one's own nature.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who was simultaneously fierce and vulnerable, struggling to come to terms with their own identity and animal instincts.

I buried your fangs in the heart of the deep world
Your mouth was on fire and bone sore
I know you dug for years below the ground

You shouldn’t be wild(shouldn’t be wild inside)
If you are a beast in the headlights
You shouldn’t be wild(shouldn’t be wild inside)
If you are a beast in the headlights

In an instant your predator hand reached to the throat
I knew you were waiting to die the whole time

Your legs they swung for hours in semi spines

You shouldn’t be wild(shouldn’t be wild inside)
If you are a beast in the headlights
You shouldn’t be wild(shouldn’t be wild inside)
If you are a beast in the headlights

You shouldn’t be wild(shouldn’t be wild inside)
If you are a beast in the headlights
You shouldn’t be wild(shouldn’t be wild inside)
If you are a beast in the headlights
