Wolfcolony set out to deliver a unique blend of electronic indie pop, characterized by lush, lo-fi atmospheres with a really organic, candle-lit feel. For an act so centered on an electronic music work frame, it might be really tempting to indulge into unnecessary over-editing and over-production, but wolfcolony chose instead to adorn their songs with relatively bare arrangements dominated by a few, high-impact elements that offer a roomy, massive, yet intimate and honest soundscape.
Youth
Wolf Colony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could be sanctuary, if you want to
Yeah we're young we're young forever, and we'll always be together
I'm traveling light but heavy-hearted, take me back to where we started
Nintendo games, and hide and seek
Yeah we were kings, just climbing trees
Yeah we're young we're young forever, and we'll always be together
If you don't change your ways, if you don't change
All I seek is the truth from you, is the truth from life
Never stop this magical ride
(We're young, we are young…)
I wanna run around comme folly
Every now and then meet up with molly
I wanna break the rules that I once made
Shake my core and live to be amazed
I'll never lose this innocence
I never wanna stop making messes
I'll always stay the same, if you don't change your ways
If you don't change your ways, if you don't change
All I seek is the truth from you, is the truth from life
Never stop this magical ride
The song "Youth" by Wolf Colony is an ode to youth and all of its carefree glory. The lyrics express a desire to stay young forever and keep the memories and experiences of childhood alive. The opening lines indicate a willingness to be strong and provide sanctuary for others, a possible reference to the importance of friends and community during youth. The nostalgic longing for simpler times is evident in the references to Nintendo games and climbing trees. The lyrics also speak to the desire to always seek the truth and remain true to oneself, even as life progresses.
The repetition of "if you don't change your ways" highlights the idea that while the desire to remain youthful and unchanging is strong, it is unrealistic and change is inevitable. The overall message of the song, however, is one of optimism and a commitment to holding onto the essence of youthfulness, even as one grows older.
Overall, "Youth" is a celebration of youth and all the beautiful, messy, and joyful experiences that come with it.
