Wolves Like Us also featured at major Norwegian festivals like Øyafestivalen and Hove festival in 2011, and played the Belgian Groezrock, Greenfield festival and Horst fest in 2012.
The band features ex-members of a bunch of Norwegian bands past and present including amongst others Amulet, Infidels Forever, JR Ewing and Silver. A seasoned coterie of rock-veterans indeed, but fresh and hungry all the same. Their aims are clear and simple: to make the music they all love, drawing inspiration from heroes Quicksand, Killing Joke, Planes Mistaken For Stars and Hot Water Music but with Maiden style guitar riffs and Afghan Whigs vocal stylings.
My Enemy
Wolves Like Us Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If what they say is true
They say I killed the brother
To fall in love with u
These words I heard them once before
A conversation I believe
How does a man begin 2 fall
There was a voice behind my back
His face I could not see it clear
The voice was so familiar, though
I knew my enemy was near
The sun iz gone
And the sky iz black
So get your ass out from
Behind my back
I told u once
And I told u all
And I told it like it was (sic)
U can't
Have me
If u can't
Catch me
Out of your mind bent on revenge
To think I once called u my friend
U want the dog? I'll let him out
Come and get some baby
