Call to the Wild
Meg Donnelly Chandler Kinney Pearce Joza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn up, explain our history
Pull back the veil of mystery
What's written on the cave is prophesy
The Great Alpha is our destiny
Show us the power of chemistry
Lead us to the source of our energy
No one knows her identity
But she looks like you, identically

This is how we're livin' our lives
Livin' our lives, livin' our lives, yeah
Can you feel the call to the wild?
Call to the wild, the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild

I see a real community
Unique, but you have unity
You know who you're supposed to be
Release to the rhythm totally
I feel the vibe when you're close to me
And you can feel it too, or hopefully
Now look up, and tell me what you really see
A bunch of stray wolves or a family?

This is how we're livin' our lives (hey)
Livin' our lives (hey), livin' our lives, yeah
Can you feel the call to the wild? (Hey)
Call to the wild (hey), the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild

Hold up, before you do, let me interrupt
She's a cheerleader, not an Alpha
You're in the den, but you'll need to earn my trust
Now show me what you got if you're one of us

This is how we're livin' our lives (it's how you're living)
Livin' our lives, livin' our lives, yeah
Can you feel the call to the wild? (Can you feel? Hey)
Call to the wild (hey), the call to the wild (I can feel)
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild

Overall Meaning

In Meg Donnelly's song "Call to the Wild," the lyrics seem to be a call for unity and strength within a community. The first verse talks about revealing history and unlocking the secrets written on cave walls to find the power that lies within the community. This power seems to be related to chemistry and energy, but it is not clear exactly what this means. The Alpha is mentioned as a prophesized destiny, but the identity of this person is unknown. The chorus emphasizes the call to the wild, the sense that they are part of a larger group that is unique but united. The second verse emphasizes how this community knows who they are supposed to be, and how being close to each other creates a special feeling. The last part of the song involves someone interrupting the chorus and questioning their identity, but then ultimately deciding to join in with the group.

Overall, the song seems to be about finding a sense of belonging and community, and understanding that even if you may feel like a "stray wolf," you are part of a larger group with a shared identity. There is a sense of mystery and prophesized destiny, but it is not clear who or what that is referring to. Instead, the focus is on unity and the powerful feeling of being part of a community.
