Werewolf
Lyle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some days I am Caesar
Some days I am Christ
Some days St. Theresa
By golly, some days I play nice

And some days I am a mother fucking werewolf
I am a cannibal that eats himself alive
So if you see me tonight on the floor or the ceiling
It depends how I'm feeling, maybe you'll take me home
And I'll climb your mountains and build a castle around it
But bring your silver bullets just in case

Some days you are Elvis
Some days Joan of Arc
Some times Hallelujah
And some just break your heart

And some days you are a mother fucking werewolf
You are medusa with napalm in your eyes

And if I see you tonight on the floor or the ceiling
It depends how you're feeling maybe I'll take you home
Maybe we'll slow dance or build a fort on my big bed
But I'm bringing my silver bullets just in case

While I was casting demons out of you
You were casting demons out of me




Now I think it's best we let it be
Because I am a werewolf

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lyle's song "Werewolf" delve into the complexities of human emotions and identities. The song suggests that people can experience different personas, shifting between different roles and archetypes on a daily basis. The opening lines reflect this idea by referencing significant historical figures - Caesar, Christ, and St. Theresa - as well as the notion of playing nice. This implies that individuals can embody both admirable and darker aspects within themselves.


The chorus introduces the concept of being a "mother fucking werewolf," which metaphorically represents the self-destructive tendencies within a person. The line "I am a cannibal that eats himself alive" suggests a self-destructive nature, where one's own actions and thoughts harm them emotionally or mentally.


The second verse parallels the first, but with different personas. It highlights the multiplicity of identities within individuals, using figures like Elvis, Joan of Arc, and even the conflicting emotions of love and heartbreak. The reference to being a "mother fucking werewolf" in this verse signifies the destructive power that lies within others or even within relationships.


The bridge portrays a relationship dynamic, where both individuals are helping each other heal by exorcising their personal demons. However, the final line "Because I am a werewolf" implies that despite their efforts, they can't fully overcome their self-destructive tendencies, suggesting a need for acceptance rather than trying to fix or change oneself.

Some days I am Caesar
Some days I am Christ
Some days St. Theresa
By golly, some days I play nice

And some days I am a mother fucking werewolf
I am a cannibal that eats himself alive
So if you see me tonight on the floor or the ceiling
It depends how I'm feeling, maybe you'll take me home
and I'll climb your mountains and build a castle around it
But bring your silver bullets just in case

Some days I'm wide receiver
Some days blow your mind
Some days stoned at breakfast
Some nights drunk on wine

And some days I am a mother fucking werewolf
I am a cannibal that eats himself alive
So if you see me tonight on the floor or the ceiling
It depends how I'm feeling, maybe you'll take me home
and I'll climb your mountains and build a castle around it
But bring your silver bullets just in case

Some days you are Elvis
Some days Joan of Arc
Some nights Hallelujah
and some just break your heart

And some days you are a mother fucking werewolf
You are medusa with napalm in your eyes/ you are a cannibal that eats himself alive
And if I see you tonight on the floor or the ceiling
It depends how you're feeling maybe I'll take you home
Maybe we'll slow dance or build a fort on my big bed
But I'm bringing my silver bullets just in case

While I was casting demons out of you
You were casting demons out of me
Now I think it's best we let it be
Because I am a werewolf
and you are a werewolf too
