After the demise of Sink or Swim, former vocalist Larissa, guitarist Sven and former bassist Merlin formed Wolf Down in April of 2011. Their debut release was a four-track seven-inch, entitled MMXI, which was released in August of 2011. A follow-up four-track release, entitled Renegades, was released in June of 2012.

In August 2014, the band announced the departure of Larissa, who has since gone on to front the band Venom Prison.

In summer 2017, Wolf Down announced their end after two band members were confronted with accusations of sexual violence; it is unknown definitively whether the individuals are guilty or innocent, only that these allegations were the circumstances surrounding the band's dissolution.

Daydreaming
Wolf Down Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've always liked the wind playing with my hair
never felt as alive as with the gasp of fresh air
I'm feeling free
and the sea is tenderly stroking

still loving life
I'm still loving life

but nothing gold can stay

all we have,we wash away

Overall Meaning

The song "Daydreaming" by Wolf Down explores the fleeting nature of life and how we should appreciate the present moment. The opening lines talk about how the wind playing with the hair can make one feel alive, but also states that life is transient. The mention of the sea's gentle touch further reinforces this theme, as the sea is often compared to the passage of time, ever-changing and unpredictable.

The chorus is a powerful reminder of how we should cherish life, despite the inevitability of change and loss. The lyrics "still loving life, I'm still loving life" show the defiance of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The phrase "nothing gold can stay" is a line from Robert Frost's poem, 'Nothing Gold Can Stay,' which talks about how even the most beautiful things in life are fleeting and temporary. The closing line "all we have, we wash away" can be interpreted in different ways, but it likely means that all our experiences in life, whether good or bad, eventually fade away and become memories.

Overall, "Daydreaming" is a powerful reminder of how precious life is and that we should never take it for granted, but instead live in the present moment and cherish every second.

I've always liked the wind playing with my hair
I've always enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair

never felt as alive as with the gasp of fresh air
I feel most alive when I take a deep breath of fresh air

I'm feeling free
I currently feel free from any constraints or obligations

and the sea is tenderly stroking
The ocean is gently caressing the shore

still loving life
Despite any challenges or hardships, I'm still enjoying life

Everything we have, own, or experience will eventually be taken away or lost. We must cherish each moment while we have it.
