Cry Wolf
Unveiling Shadows: Embracing the Cry Wolf Symphony
Lyrics
There's a knock at your door
There is a sense of anticipation or impending danger as indicated by a knock at the door.
With the lights, with the lights out
The atmosphere becomes tense, possibly with a loss of illumination or clarity.
Turn the lock, hit the floor
Locking the door and getting down may suggest a defensive response to a threat.
It's onto you, it's onto you
The danger or pressure is directed towards the listener.
Your tell-tale heart, baby
A reference to Edgar Allan Poe's story, symbolizing guilt or anxiety.
Beating like a drum
Intense heartbeat, reflecting nervousness or fear.
Pounding out your chest now
The anxiety is physically manifested, emphasizing the emotional impact.
Repeating on the one
The rhythmic repetition may symbolize a persistent and inescapable situation.
Tear the floorboards, baby
Destructive actions taken for amusement or thrill.
Do it just for fun
Revisiting a buried issue from the past.
Because you buried it once
A metaphor for facing consequences or unresolved matters.
Now you're digging it up
The process of confronting buried emotions or experiences.
And going down with the sun
Symbolic descent into darkness or difficulty.
Who's gonna believe you?
Doubt about the credibility of the listener.
One of these nights somebody's gonna leave you
An expectation of abandonment or betrayal.
No one's gonna save you, save you
A sense of isolation or lack of help in times of need.
Come the full moon
Reference to a transformative moment or revelation, possibly linked to the lunar cycle.
Who's coming to the rescue?
Questioning the availability of assistance or support.
What if tonight it's running, gonna get you?
Imminent danger that may catch up with the listener.
No one's gonna save you, save you
A repetition of the idea that no one will come to the rescue.
When you cry wolf
Repeated emphasis on the act of crying wolf, signaling a false alarm or a lack of credibility.
