LONE WOLF
guilty as charged Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day, another way
I’ve never seen the moon so bright, it’s calling my name
I cannot see what lies ahead, I’m losing my mind
Wanna know how much I’ve tried?
Why must I endure another fight? You’ve left me to die
I gave up on you
Gave up on life
We’re all going down
I remember you
Remember me?
We’re all coming home
The lyrics to Guilty as Charged's song "Lone Wolf" paint a picture of someone who is lost and struggling to find their way. They acknowledge the passing of time and the loss they have experienced, yet they also feel drawn towards the bright moon that seems to be calling their name. The singer is overwhelmed by confusion and feels like they are losing their mind, which is mirrored by the sense of despair and abandonment expressed in the lines "You’ve left me to die."
Although the singer is facing adversity, they also express a sense of agency in the lines "We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong." This sentiment suggests that the singer feels that they have a choice in how they respond to their hardships. However, the tone of the final lines of the song challenges this idea, expressing a resignation to their fate and an acknowledgement of the inevitable end that awaits everyone: "We’re all going down... We’re all coming home."
Overall, "Lone Wolf" seems to be an introspective exploration of loneliness and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that can feel overwhelming and unforgiving.
