Wolves
We Are All Astronauts feat. Ellena Soule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch me darken my own skies
Watch me lose touch of what is real
Watch me drown in this feeling
Hold my hand as the wolves come, the wolves come
Cover my eyes when the wolves come, the wolves come
Watch me wander from the path
Watch me decide not to go back
Watch me, don′t let me wander too far (too far, too far, too far)
Hold my hand as the wolves come, the wolves come
Cover my eyes when the wolves come, the wolves come
Hold my hand when the wolves come, the wolves come,
Cover my eyes when the wolves come, the wolves come
The opening lines of "Wolves" by We Are All Astronauts feat. Ellena Soule present a powerful image of someone struggling with their own self-destructive tendencies. The singer asks the listener to "watch me drown in my own light," which suggests that they are struggling to manage their talents or their own personal radiance. At the same time, their darkening of the sky indicates a sense of self-sabotage, as though they are actively working to shroud their own potential.
As the song continues, the singer's words become more urgent. They plead with the listener to "hold my hand as the wolves come," using the image of wolves to represent any number of threats or challenges that might be circling them. These could include outside forces like negative influences or dangerous situations, or they could be internal demons, such as depression or anxiety.
Despite their fears, the singer also seems to have a sense that they are in control of their own destiny. They talk about stumbling "a little farther" and deciding "not to go back," suggesting that even when they feel lost or overwhelmed, they are determined to keep moving forward. It is the listener's job to support them on this journey, to help them stay grounded and mindful when the wolves come.

I am sorry to myself that I am 6 years late to hear this.
The only bad thing about this song is, it ends.

I've been listening to this since 2014 and it never gets old. An absolute masterpiece and probably my favourite of Ambient ever.

You know for years i thought i didn't really have a favorite music genre but i've figured out this type of music is it. This relaxes me, it fills me with joy and i feel it resonates with who i am as a person. Thanks :)
