Wolves
PacoVolume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick of British football with their 4-4-2
This cure of nicotine and the ps2
What's written on the box may not always be true
You get my goat with those things you do
You know deep in your heart it isn't good for you
There are trailer parks in the desert
See the good old folks in the malls they graze
Spending all their money on the latest craze
There's a massive queue at the quickest till
It's hard to tie the knobs in Margaritaville
Well you know this place is not a bit like me
Brightly coloured oldies as far as I can see
People go ‘n die in the desert
People riding waves in the desert too
Things are as bad as they get
I ignore the advice you gave me
‘cause the story's not the same
I will pour another cocktail
And you'll be the one I'll blame
Take your nose out of the phonebook
Wipe that look across your face
Cause after all the operations
Of that girl there is not trace
Well I'm not your friend I'm not on your team
So put another coin in the slot machine
Cause things are strange they're not what they seem
A man of great distinction I have never been
Well it's far too hot to be doing lunch
Underneath my trainers is the forest crunch
People go ‘n die in the desert
People choose to lose in the desert too
Things are as bad as they get
And the girls down at the salon
Always give you such big hair
So you know that it's no wonder
That the normal folks they stare
And you know that there's no water
In the hotel swimming pool
So don't feel the need to tell me
That I've broken all the rules
See I pebble-dashed the limo
On the way to San Jose
Have you ever noticed
That it's such a fateful game we play
While the whitest trash are smiling
Almost everywhere you go
And I'll get to cry my heart out
At the nearest rodeo
Things are as bad as they get
The lyrics to PacoVolume's song Wolves convey a sense of discontentment with modernity and a desire for simpler times. The opening line "I miss my wolves and the mountain dew" reflects the yearning for nature and the outdoors, and stands in contrast to the singer's current environment. The following line "I'm sick of British football with their 4-4-2" shows disdain for superficialities and commercialized sports, as the singer is seeking a more authentic experience. This is further emphasized by the line "What's written on the box may not always be true", indicating a skepticism towards the manufactured and pre-packaged aspects of modern life.
The singer also seems frustrated with the people around him, particularly their unhealthy habits and wastefulness. The line "You get my goat with those things you do / You know deep in your heart it isn't good for you" suggests a dissatisfaction with the way others are living their lives. The reference to trailer parks in the desert and people playing golf in the desert too highlights the theme of wastefulness and excess, as these things seem out of place in such an arid environment. The line "See the good old folks in the malls they graze / Spending all their money on the latest craze" further emphasizes the theme of consumerism and mindless consumption.
Overall, Wolves is a commentary on the artificiality and superficiality of modern life, and a longing for a more natural and authentic existence.
Line by Line Meaning
I miss my wolves and the mountain dew
I long for the companionship and refreshment that nature brings
I'm sick of British football with their 4-4-2
I'm tired of the repetitive and conservative tactics in British football
This cure of nicotine and the ps2
This addiction to nicotine and video games is a temporary escape from reality
What's written on the box may not always be true
The promises and claims made by products are not always accurate or trustworthy
You get my goat with those things you do
You annoy and frustrate me with your actions
You know deep in your heart it isn't good for you
You are aware that your behavior is detrimental to your well-being
There are trailer parks in the desert
Even in harsh and unforgiving environments, people find ways to live and survive
People playing golf in the desert too
Despite the extreme conditions, people still indulge in leisurely activities
See the good old folks in the malls they graze
Elderly people spend their time wandering through shopping centers
Spending all their money on the latest craze
They waste their savings on trendy products and fads
There's a massive queue at the quickest till
Everyone is in a rush to get their purchases done and over with
It's hard to tie the knobs in Margaritaville
It's difficult to maintain sobriety and self-control in a place where drinking is encouraged
Well you know this place is not a bit like me
This place does not reflect my personality or values
Brightly coloured oldies as far as I can see
I see elderly people wearing garish and unconventional clothing
People go ‘n die in the desert
The harsh and unforgiving environment leads to death and suffering
People riding waves in the desert too
Despite the lack of water, people still find ways to participate in aquatic activities
Things are as bad as they get
The current situation is dire and not likely to improve
I ignore the advice you gave me
I choose to disregard your suggestions and warnings
‘cause the story's not the same
Because my experiences and perspective are different from yours
I will pour another cocktail
I will indulge in alcohol to escape my problems
And you'll be the one I'll blame
I will not take responsibility for my actions and will shift the blame onto you
Take your nose out of the phonebook
Stop being preoccupied with trivial matters and focus on what's important
Wipe that look across your face
Get rid of your expression of disapproval or disappointment
Cause after all the operations
Despite all the medical procedures and treatments
Of that girl there is not trace
That girl is nowhere to be found and may have disappeared or died
Well I'm not your friend I'm not on your team
I am not aligned with you and do not consider you a friend
So put another coin in the slot machine
Continue engaging in activities that are based on chance or luck
Cause things are strange they're not what they seem
The current situation is confusing and deceptive
A man of great distinction I have never been
I have never been distinguished or notable in any way
Well it's far too hot to be doing lunch
The temperature is too high to enjoy a leisurely meal outdoors
Underneath my trainers is the forest crunch
I am walking on dead leaves and twigs with my sneakers on
And the girls down at the salon
The women who work at the beauty salon
Always give you such big hair
They style your hair in an exaggerated and flamboyant way
So you know that it's no wonder
It's not surprising that people stare at your appearance
That the normal folks they stare
Ordinary people are curious or judgmental of those who look different
And you know that there's no water
The hotel pool is dry and unusable
In the hotel swimming pool
The swimming area in the hotel is devoid of water
So don't feel the need to tell me
There is no reason to inform me of this fact
That I've broken all the rules
I am aware that my behavior is unconventional and goes against norms
See I pebble-dashed the limo
I vandalized the limousine by throwing rocks at it
On the way to San Jose
During the trip to a specific destination
Have you ever noticed
Have you ever realized or acknowledged
That it's such a fateful game we play
That life is unpredictable and full of risk
While the whitest trash are smiling
Even those who are considered low-class or undesirable can find happiness
Almost everywhere you go
In many places and situations, you can find joy or contentment
And I'll get to cry my heart out
I will have the opportunity to express my emotions and grieve deeply
At the nearest rodeo
During a lively and festive event featuring cowboys and livestock
Things are as bad as they get
The current state of affairs is at its lowest point
