Call to the Wild

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

The first verse of "Call to the Wild" by Milo Manheim, Kylee Russell, Chandler Kinney, and Pearce Joza is referencing the idea of exploring and uncovering the unknown. The "history" they refer to could be interpreted as the history of their community, or perhaps the history of humanity, and the desire to understand that history through uncovering the "prophesy" written on a cave. They mention a "Great Alpha" being their destiny, which could be interpreted as a symbolic metaphor for a leader or guiding force. They yearn to understand the "power of chemistry" and to be led to the source of their energy, implying a desire to understand the natural world and our place within it. The last line, "But she looks like you, identically," could be interpreted as a nod to the idea of interconnectedness and the concept that we are all linked together in some way.


The chorus of the song centers around the idea of a "call to the wild." The lyrics suggest that the listener is part of this call, and that they are meant to be part of a community that is in tune with the natural world. The lyrics suggest that this community is unique, but united by a shared sense of purpose. They ask the listener to "release to the rhythm totally," encouraging them to let go of inhibitions and connect with their wild side.


The bridge of the song introduces a twist to the previous themes. The singer interrupts the narrative by saying "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 suggests that there is an exclusivity to this community, and that the listener will need to pass some sort of test to prove that they belong. The lyrics here seem to be referencing high school social structures, likely referring to the Disney Channel Original Movie that this song is featured in, which is about high school students with werewolf ancestry. However, the lyrics also maintain a broader theme of interconnectedness and community, as the characters seem to come together to protect one another and embrace their wild sides.


Line by Line Meaning

Turn up, explain our history
Let's get excited and learn about our past


Pull back the veil of mystery
Reveal the secrets that have been hidden from us


What's written on the cave is prophesy
The messages left by our ancestors are predictions of the future


The Great Alpha is our destiny
We are meant to fulfill a special purpose in the pack


Show us the power of chemistry
Demonstrate how our individual strengths can come together to form something greater


Lead us to the source of our energy
Show us where we can find the inspiration and motivation to keep going


No one knows her identity
We don't know who this powerful leader is


But she looks like you, identically
She may have physical similarities to members of our pack, indicating that she could be one of us


This is how we're livin' our lives
This is the way we've chosen to live our lives


Can you feel the call to the wild?
Do you sense that you were meant to be a part of something bigger?


We are the call, we are the call
We are the ones making the call to join together


I see a real community
I can visualize us as a genuine group, with a shared sense of responsibility towards one another


Unique, but you have unity
Each of us brings something different to the table, but we're all working towards the same goal


You know who you're supposed to be
We have a clear understanding of our roles within the pack


Release to the rhythm totally
Let yourself go and move with the beat, fully embracing the moment


I feel the vibe when you're close to me
I can sense the positive energy when we're together


And you can feel it too, or hopefully
I hope that you're also able to sense this connection


Now look up, and tell me what you really see
Take a step back and observe everything around you, what do you truly perceive?


A bunch of stray wolves or a family?
Are we just a group of random individuals or are we a close-knit unit?


Hold up, before you do, let me interrupt
Wait a minute, I need to interject and clarify something


She's a cheerleader, not an Alpha
The person you're looking for may not be who you're expecting them to be


You're in the den, but you'll need to earn my trust
You're welcome here, but you'll need to prove yourself before you can truly be part of the pack


Now show me what you got if you're one of us
If you think you belong here, it's time to prove it
