Howl
Yoste Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alright, so far
I've been wondering
I said I'm sorry for the last time




Overall Meaning

The first verse of Yoste's song "Howl" expresses the feeling of regret and the desire for forgiveness. The singer admits to feeling lost and unsure, as indicated by the phrase "so far, I've been wondering". The phrase suggests that the singer is reflecting on the past, attempting to gain insight into their behaviour to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.


However, a crucial element of the first verse is the line "I said I'm sorry for the last time". This line suggests that the singer has been apologetic in the past, implying a cycle of making mistakes and apologizing without showing any signs of improvement. The phrase "the last time" suggests a final attempt at making amends and a willingness to change one's behaviour moving forward. The first verse therefore encapsulates the idea of personal growth and learning from past experiences.


Overall, "Howl" is a song about the struggles and complexities of relationships. The lyrics express a wide range of emotions, including regret, sadness, hope, and desire for change. Yoste's reflective and introspective approach to songwriting creates a dynamic and layered listening experience that invites the audience to connect with the raw emotional content of the music.

I can feel that words...
But the people want to hear party music because they dont want to see their lifes.
They dont care about future or something. The most people just want everything.

But this song is making me feel like I dont need everything..
I just want to hug my dog and my mum.
Also a person who loves me..😞❤
I would do everything for that person I love...
But I'm not so pretty.

Beautiful song.

Missing chorus lyrics are as follows (from what I could piece together):

Alright
You're so far
I've been wonderin'
It's too late
Call out
Gotta keep it in
I said I'm sorry for the last time love
I never thought that I was holding out
I said I'm sorry for the last time love

Light's glowing
Air cold on my face
A feeling of space
I'm breathing now
The silences are so loud
Cut right to your soul
Hide yourself in your coat
You're older now
Cut right to your soul
Hide yourself in your coat
You're older now, ow-ow
Alright, so far, I've been wondering
Sunlight, colour, couldn't keep it in
I've said I'm sorry for the last time love
I never thought that I was whole enough
I've said I'm sorry for the last time love
Lost I've
Found warmth in the cold
I'm hopeless I know
But I feel alright
Calling to the coastline
Like the rain I was falling
Stopped but not stalling
Older now
Like the rain I was falling
Stopped but not stalling
Older now, ow-ow
Alright, so far, I've been wondering
Sunlight, colour, couldn't keep it in
I've said I'm sorry for the last time love
I never thought that I was whole enough
I've said I'm sorry for the last time love
Alright, (alright) so far, (so far) I've been wondering
Sunlight (sunlight), colour, (colour) couldn't keep it in

I've said I'm sorry for the last time love (last time love)

My thoughts on Howl:

"Lights glowing.... I'm breathing now"

Seems like this person got out of a very controlling relationship. Or at least he felt that way. Restricting enough to be claustrophobic. But the Air cold on his face speaks of an unfamiliarity that comes as a shock yet still a blessing.

"The silences are so loud...hide yourself...you're older now."

Now he starts to point out the situation she's in now. She broke it off, but maybe starts to regret it. She probably didn't know how it would affect her as well, thats why he still tries to give her some advice to keep safe by hiding in her coat. Growing up means experiencing pain Stating that she's older now so matter-of-factly is kind like saying Grow up...because this is what adults/ppl in life HAVE to deal with.


The chorus is him dealing with how he's been handling the breakup. Hes "alright, so far' but "wondering" when it'll break him. Apparently he's been isolating and dealing with pain by staying indoors. He's come to the conclusion tho, that He's gonna go through this like a grown up because he's got and strength and wholeness, and he'll do all that he can to move on

The bridge is about him accepting the cold and finding the silver lining. He's hopeless in that he can't be there for her, apparently she's taken this the hardest.

Not sure what the coastline signifies. But he's learned through this heartache and is Older Now.
