Wolves
bloodhype Lyrics

The lyrics of "Wolves" by Bloodhype are a mixture of imagery and metaphorical language that hint at a sense of betrayal and heartbreak. The opening lines "It was falling apart, I didn't see the fire" suggest a missed warning sign, blindness to something seriously going wrong. The following lines "All the light and all the flame, it was calling you away" continue this theme of separation and the singer's failed attempt to keep someone close. "But I heard the music play, I'm collecting all the noise/The beat inside is what I follow" is a moment of resolution or clarity, where the singer chooses to embrace what drives them, rather than focusing on what they have lost. This theme is taken further with the repeated line "it's calling out", as if the music and beat are calling out to the singer, urging them onwards as they move forward.

The chorus shifts the tone, with the harsh imagery of bullets and burning air. "There go the shots/Straight as your hair/Coming in hot/Burning the air" echoes a sense of danger and violence, like a warning that the singer must be on guard against. "These words leave me hollow/’Cause they're thieves" continues this idea of something being stolen or betrayed, leading to a sense of emptiness or loss. However, the repeated line "so this ain't over" suggests a note of defiance or determination, as if the singer is still going to fight back against the forces threatening them.

The final section of the song is filled with animalistic imagery, with the singer becoming a predator with "the night in my claws", determined to move forward and "drag you along", focusing on the future rather than the past. "All my wounds have become my eyes/There's something about the way she dies" hints at a darker reality beneath the surface, perhaps revealing that the singer themselves have been hurt or betrayed. The repeated lines "send the wolves to that red heart/Someone's already there/So they don't have a prayer/They're tearing at heartstrings/Believing in your wings alone" suggest a vengeance-like intention to rid themselves of perceived threats, while acknowledging that they might not be the only ones with something to defend.
