WOLF
Oh Land Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the endless sky we are but one
In my dreams wolf and I

Before the world you know was like it is
I held a lover once and I was his
And we walked along the river in the sun
But he's a lonely man, so this was done
The only place we had to meet was night
While the sun he sleeps in shadows we can hide
On the mountainside we spent our time together
But it is gone when morning comes

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
Moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I

How many days and nights will come and go
While the only light you'll see is from my glow
There will never be a dawn that breaks the spell surrounding us
Til the earth dies with the sun

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
Moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
Moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I





In the endless sky we are but one
In my dreams wolf and I

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oh Land's "Wolf & I" detail a love between two beings- the wolf and the moon. The first verse sets the scene in the endless sky where the two are unified, but notes that this unity only exists in the singer's subconscious, her dreams. The second verse seems to describe a past relationship the singer had with a human lover, but ultimately the relationship ended because of his loneliness. The singer and her lover were only able to meet at night, while he slept during the day. The relationship was fleeting and ended quickly, but it is clear that the singer held onto the memory. The chorus is repeated several times, emphasizing the connection between the wolf and the moon. The final lines of the song reiterate this unity, but again emphasize that it only exists in the singer's dreams.


This song can be interpreted in a number of ways. From a purely literal perspective, it describes a love between two entities- the wolf and the moon. However, it can also be read as a metaphor for a love that is impossible to consummate. The singer's past relationship with the human lover may have ended because of his loneliness, but it is possible that there were other factors that kept them apart. The relationship may have been impossible from the start, and the singer may have never been able to fully connect with her lover.


Line by Line Meaning

In the endless sky we are but one
We are united, like the sky that stretches out endlessly.


In my dreams wolf and I
In my slumber, the wolf and I roam together.


Before the world you know was like it is
In a time long gone, before life became what it is today.


I held a lover once and I was his
I had a partner once who loved me, but no longer.


And we walked along the river in the sun
We enjoyed each other's company by the river under sunny skies.


But he's a lonely man, so this was done
My partner was a solitary man, so we didn't last.


The only place we had to meet was night
The only time we could be together was in the darkness.


While the sun he sleeps in shadows we can hide
When the sun sets, we can conceal ourselves from its light and be together.


On the mountainside we spent our time together
We found solace in each other's company on the mountains.


But it is gone when morning comes
Our time together ends when daybreak arrives.


And you are the wolf
You represent the wildness and freedom of nature.


And I am the moon
I represent the changing, cyclical nature of life.


How many days and nights will come and go
Time will continue to pass, endlessly and without pause.


While the only light you'll see is from my glow
As a symbol of the natural world, you can only see the light I emit.


There will never be a dawn that breaks the spell surrounding us
Our magical connection will never be broken, even at sunrise.


Til the earth dies with the sun
Our bond will endure until the end of time.


We are alive
Our spirits are vibrant and active.


In my dreams wolf and I
Even when I sleep, the wolf and I share a connection.

In the endless sky we are but one
In my dreams wolf and I
Before the world you know was like it is
I held a lover once and I was his
And we walked along the river in the sun
But he's a lonely man, so this was done
The only place we had to meet was night
While the sun he sleeps in shadows we can hide
On the mountainside we spent our time together
But it is gone when morning comes
And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
Moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I
How many days and nights will come and go
While the only light you'll see is from my glow
There will never be a dawn that breaks the spell surrounding us
Til the earth dies with the sun
And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
Moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I
And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
Moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I
In the endless sky we are but one
In my dreams wolf and I
