Kodiak
Out Came the Wolves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im not born to save you
21 so here's a lie
I've seen it all I think I'm fine
if there's a god don't tell me now
another path another time
i gave it all my dreams denied
Who am i
Who am i
You're telling me there's a place
a kodiak for heavens sake
if this is real then tell me now
just get me out
Drowning in homes that we make
so paralyzed
waiting for something to change
but it never does
Drowning in homes that we make
we're paralyzed
waiting for something
the nation of nothing
Think think think
Where did i put my fucking keys
think think think
3 more hours left now (i hear it now)
i can hear the ocean (i hear it now)
New orleans in my sight
I came alone and i feel alive
I swear ill never turn around
My head in the clouds
Drowning in homes that we make
so paralyzed
waiting for something to change
but it never does
Drowning in homes that we make
we're paralyzed
waiting for something
the nation of nothing
Don't wake up
Were not getting younger
Were not getting any younger
Drowning in homes that we make
Waiting for something to change
Drowning in homes that we make
so paralyzed
waiting for something to change
but it never does
Drowning in homes that we make
we're paralyzed
waiting for something
the nation of nothing
Drowning in homes that we make
Drowning in homes that we make
The lyrics to the Out Came the Wolves song "Kodiak" are highly introspective and deal with themes of self-doubt, frustration and a sense of disillusionment with the world. The opening line of the song, "I'm not born to save you," sets the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting a feeling of helplessness and a lack of control over one's own destiny.
The second verse contains the lines, "21 so here's a lie, I've seen it all I think I'm fine, if there's a god don't tell me now, another path another time, I gave it all my dreams denied." These lyrics speak to the sense of disillusionment and frustration that comes with the realization that life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, and that our dreams and aspirations may not come to fruition. The line "if there's a god don't tell me now" suggests a lack of faith, or at least a sense that it's too late to turn to a higher power for help.
The chorus of the song contains the line "drowning in homes that we make," which is repeated several times. This line suggests a feeling of being trapped in one's own life, and a sense that our own actions and choices have led us to this point. The final line of the song, "drowning in homes that we make," is a powerful repetition of this idea, emphasizing the sense of helplessness that comes with feeling trapped and powerless.
Overall, "Kodiak" is a powerful song that deals with some heavy themes, but does so in a way that is relatable and authentic. Its lyrics are highly introspective and speak to the struggles that many people face in their own lives.
