Lyrics
Found the den, smoked me out
Discovering a refuge but forced to leave due to being exposed or discovered.
Planned to be with when I was without
Planned to be with someone during times of lack or need.
The trees here smell like dying things
Describing the scent of the trees as reminiscent of decay or death.
I break like tired, dried out twigs
Feeling emotionally fragile and brittle, akin to dry twigs.
Butter me in apathy
Expressing a desire to be coated or enveloped in indifference or lack of emotion.
Tie me up in ribbons pink
Metaphorically bound by decorative ribbons in a state of confinement.
Hang me out to dry and then
Being exposed or left vulnerable, followed by a desire for transformation.
Oh, I'll become the wind again
Anticipating a renewal or transformation, becoming resilient like the wind.
Wolf Alice, look at yourself
Addressing someone as Wolf Alice, urging self-reflection.
Feral beast from the forest shelf
Describing the person as a wild creature from the forest, untamed and primal.
Flesh upon your breath and words that melt
Noting the tangible presence of desire and impactful words that have a melting effect.
Lookin' in the mirror, but she can't tell
Observing oneself in the mirror, but unable to perceive one's true nature.
Eagle's nest above the bay
Depicting an elevated dwelling place associated with freedom and perspective.
So many things I couldn't (Say)
Regret for unspoken words or missed opportunities.
Now tangled up and woven tight
Describing a complex and tightly woven situation, possibly involving secrecy.
These secrets are my home tonight
Acknowledging that hidden truths or secrets have become a comforting place of residence.
The wood is soft, been sanded smooth
Metaphorically comparing the softened wood to emotional vulnerability.
But I cannot force my heart to move
Expressing difficulty in making one's heart move or respond.
Call me a coward, but I never was
Accepting a perception of oneself as a coward, perhaps due to an inability to control emotions.
You can't promise anything, anything in love
Highlighting the uncertainty and inability to make promises in the context of love.
Call me a coward, but I never was
Reiterating the self-perception as a coward in matters of love.
Wolf Alice look at yourself
Repeating the call for self-reflection, addressing Wolf Alice again.
Feral beast from the forest shelf
Re-emphasizing the wild and untamed nature of the person from the forest.
Flesh upon your breath and words that melt
Repeating the description of impactful words and the melting effect they have.
Lookin in the mirror, but she can't tell
Reiterating the difficulty in self-perception despite looking in the mirror.
