Boy Cries Wolf
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the wolves come like they've always done
Each day this goes on and on
But the boy stays no one moves him on
We all know what's going on here
But we don't do anything no
Boy cries boy cries wolf again
But we've all got our thing to get done
And you don't listen so I no longer care
Just like everyone out there
You don't speak for me you just deceive
I just don't relate I don't believe
But we all know what's going on here
But we don't do anything no
Boy cries boy cries wolf again
And the wolves come like they've always done
One sniff they tear him limb from limb
But it's ok the new boy's moving in
It's ok, it's ok
The lyrics to Satellites' song Boy Cries Wolf express a sense of apathy and indifference to the plight of someone who repeatedly cries out for help. The "boy" in the song has a habit of crying wolf, or raising false alarms, and attracting wolves to his location. Despite the fact that everyone knows what's happening, no one comes to his aid or tries to intervene. The repetition of the boy crying wolf and the wolves coming suggests a cycle that never ends, and the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair.
The second verse of the song acknowledges that everyone has their own concerns and agendas to fulfill, making it difficult for them to take action or pay attention to the boy's cries for help. The repetition of "you don't listen so I no longer care, just like everyone out there" suggests that the singer feels disconnected from the community around them and unable to relate to others' experiences.
The final verse of the song takes a darker turn as the wolves tear the boy apart, but the lyrics suggest that this is an acceptable outcome because "the new boy's moving in." This line implies a callous disregard for the life of the boy who cried wolf, and suggests that the community is willing to sacrifice individuals for the sake of maintaining the status quo.
Line by Line Meaning
Boy cries boy cries wolf again
The boy keeps making up stories about being in trouble, just like before
And the wolves come like they've always done
People always come to support the boy when he cries for help
Each day this goes on and on
This situation keeps happening repeatedly every day
But the boy stays no one moves him on
No one forces the boy to stop making up stories and face the consequences
We all know what's going on here
We all understand that the boy is lying, but no one wants to address it
But we don't do anything no
Despite understanding the boy is lying, no one is taking action to stop him
But we've all got our thing to get done
Everyone is too focused on their own tasks and problems to bother with the boy's lies
And you don't listen so I no longer care
The boy doesn't listen to reason, so the artist no longer cares about his stories
Just like everyone out there
Others have also stopped caring about the boy's lies
You don't speak for me you just deceive
The boy doesn't represent the artist's thoughts or beliefs, he is only deceiving himself and others
I just don't relate I don't believe
The singer can't understand and doesn't believe the boy's stories
One sniff they tear him limb from limb
As soon as the wolves (consequences) catch up to the boy, they will punish him severely
But it's ok the new boy's moving in
The boy may have to face the consequences, but there's always someone new to take his place with new stories
It's ok, it's ok
The cycle will just keep repeating, and everyone is okay with that
