Howl
Rabbit Wilde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And find me in the street
I've been dying for some company
And trying to meet you
We made it through the winter
And kept our bodies warm
With a heater that we built from parts
The frost on our bones
Has cleared off, leaving our lungs to go
Howl at the moon and we will move all night
Float the winding creek of whiskey home in early light
And when we crash through the floorboards
Wake the sleeping ghosts and owls
Before we throw in the towel
Raise our arms to the sky and howl
From the sky we're tiny vessels
Tangled up in blue
So my limbs are just as useful
When they're tangled up in you
To raise the dead
And all the voices in your head
Will howl at the moon and we will move all night
Float the winding creek of whiskey home in early light
And when we crash through the floorboards
Wake the sleeping ghosts and owls
Before we throw in the towel
Raise our arms to the sky and
Howl at the moon and we will move all night
Know there's nothing good we get that comes
From puttin' up a fight
We've got days and days, or maybe just right now
Darling, put your hand in mine
Raise your arms to the sky and howl
The lyrics to Rabbit Wilde's song, 'Howl', speak to the primal and instinctive nature of human beings. The opening stanza describes the singer's desire to seek out a companion, someone to keep them company. This is followed by a description of a difficult winter, where the two individuals sought to keep warm by creating a makeshift heater from various parts. The imagery of the "frost on our bones" being cleared off, leaving "our lungs to go" is a vivid depiction of the desire for renewal and new life.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to "howl at the moon". This is a call to let go of inhibitions and embrace one's innermost desires. The use of "we will move all night" suggests a continuation of this primal activity, while "float the winding creek of whiskey home in early light" is a metaphor for living in the moment and enjoying life's pleasures. The following lines are a reminder that life is fragile, and we should make the most of the time we have. The idea of "raising our arms to the sky and howling" suggests that the act of howling is reminiscent of a spiritual or religious experience, a way of connecting with something greater than ourselves.
The final stanza is a romantic declaration of love, affirming that being "tangled up" together is just as important as any other physical activity. The lines "to raise the dead and all the voices in your head" speak to the transformative power of love and companionship. The final invitation to "raise your arms to the sky and howl" is a fitting end to the song, reminding us to embrace the present moment and enjoy life.
