Wolves
Yearning for Concrete in a World of Decay
Lyrics
We tired of the mountain
We are weary of the challenges and obstacles.
The forest and stream
We've experienced nature, but now seek something different.
We’d heard of your cities
We've heard about your urban areas.
And your hot children
A metaphorical reference to attractive, lively people.
We danced to your disco
We've participated in your modern dance and music.
And your boogaloo
A genre of dance music; a desire for cultural variety.
Ah ooh
An expressive interjection, possibly representing emotion.
We came to be near you
We came closer to you, seeking connection.
But you’re frightened, we see
You appear afraid of us, possibly due to differences.
We stalk on the borders of your decency
We linger on the edges of what you consider morally acceptable.
We wait for your bitches
We anticipate the arrival of those who challenge norms.
We know they will come
Suggesting a provocative or non-conformist group.
Ah ooh
An expressive interjection, possibly representing emotion.
We tire of the abstract
We are fatigued by abstract concepts and seek the tangible.
We long for concrete
A desire for practical and real experiences.
This Gothic architecture
Commenting on the oppressive nature of Gothic architecture.
This brutality
Referring to harsh, cruel aspects of society.
Your jails and slaughterhouses
Mentions of institutions that symbolize control and violence.
Your democracy
A critical view of the political system in place.
Ah ooh
An expressive interjection, possibly representing emotion.
You worship false idols
Critique of misplaced priorities and values.
You love the deceased
People celebrate the dead over the living.
You cower before tyrants
A commentary on submission to oppressive rulers.
You spread the disease
The metaphorical spread of negative influences.
You lack imagination
Criticism of a lack of creativity and innovation.
You lack imagination
Repetition for emphasis on the lack of imagination.
Ah ooh
An expressive interjection, possibly representing emotion.
