Howl
OUTLYA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm lost in the dying light
Hear your voice on the other side
And my heart skips a beat again
With no matter how or when
Brings me home for a moment

Every street that my feet have found
Leads me to our hometown
If my dreams are the only place
To hold you for miles away
Then I'll lay for a moment
And I wait for you

Always be howling away for you
It's always the same
Always be howling away for you
It's always the same

When the fear washes over me
And I'm home sick and hoping
I just close my eyes again
And pray in the days remains
Let it stay for a moment
And I wait for you

Always be howling away for you
It's always the same
Always be howling away for you
It's always the same

And all of our fears and all of our cares
It's out of our hearts
Out of our heads
No matter how far
No matter how long
You know I'll always be howling away for you

Always be howling away for you
It's always the same




Always be howling away for you
It's always the same

Overall Meaning

The verses of the song “Howl” by OUTLYA draw upon the theme of distance and longing to convey a sense of isolation and heartache. The singer begins the song by admitting to feeling lost and alone in the dying light, but then hears the voice of a loved one that makes their heart skip a beat, bringing them back home for a moment. The connection with their loved one is so strong that any street they walk leads them back to their hometown - a quite physical manifestation of the pull towards home.

The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that distance does not weaken the bond between the singer and their loved one. They are always “howling” away for each other and the refrain “it’s always the same” underscores the enduring nature of their love. This idea is further emphasised in the bridge, where the singer acknowledges that all their fears and cares are irrelevant when compared with love. No matter how far apart they may be, the singer will always be howling away for the other person, and in doing so, they affirm their feelings for each other despite any external factors that might get in the way.


“Howl,” is a passionate song that speaks to an enduring love that transcends distance and time. By evoking the idea of howling, the song suggests a cry from the depths of the soul, an unbridled expression of love and desire that can overcome all obstacles. The song is relatable to anyone who has experienced love or loss, and captures the uncertainty and intensity of those emotions.
