Sugar Skulls
Wolftron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are blessed, I am cursed
I'm staying in the dark and drinking from my heart
And I, I'm feeling blessed
But something in the air will drive me to the start

It's the same things, the same things that get me again
Oh, oh
Sticks of death, cigarettes
I hate the smell of smoke but I've learn to hide em in
And then when I'm old I'll damn these broken lungs
I should've listen to my friends

It's the same things, the same things
It's the same things, the same things that get me again
Oh, oh

This time I want to take it slow
And try to keep this life in line
Maybe fall in love so I can learn to love the night

We can sail the seven seas
And just leave behind all these ghosts of mine
But it's the same, the same things

This time I want to take it slow
And try to keep this life in line
Maybe fall in love so I can learn to love the night

We can sail the seven seas
And just leave behind these ghosts of mine
But it's the same, the same things

Oh, this time I want to take it slow
And try to keep this life in line
Maybe fall in love so I can learn to love the night

We can sail the seven seas




And just leave behind these ghosts of mine
Oh, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wolftron's "Sugar Skulls" are introspective and reflective, with the singer acknowledging that they are both blessed and cursed. They admit to indulging in vices, such as smoking, which they are not proud of but have learned to hide. They also express a desire to slow down and take control of their life, perhaps by falling in love and learning to love the night instead of being driven by familiar patterns and ghosts from their past. The repetition of "it's the same things, the same things that get me again" suggests a recurring pattern of self-destructive behavior that the singer is trying to break free from.


The theme of duality is prevalent throughout the song, with the singer acknowledging their conflicting emotions and desires. The contrast between light and darkness is also present, with the singer drinking in the dark but also seeking to fall in love and learn to love the night. The mention of "sail[ing] the seven seas" suggests a longing for adventure and freedom, which the singer hopes to achieve by leaving behind their ghosts and embracing a new way of living.

This song is incredible a song I used to listen a lot through my High School days wandering through Downtown Denver. I'm so happy they put it on Spotify, I had no idea they changed their name from Wolftron to Daphne Loves Derby.
