Wolves
Love Lost and Freedom Found: An Emotional Journey through 'Wolves'
Lyrics
I said quit playing games, I know you're afraid
I expressed the need to stop playing emotional games, understanding your fear.
Cause I'll walk away and I mean it too babe
I am serious about walking away if you continue; don't underestimate my intentions.
Don't ever take my love for granted
Emphasizing not to take my love lightly or assume it will always be there.
Cause you're treating me like a hopeless romantic
You're treating our relationship with a lack of seriousness, like a fairy tale.
And baby I'll vanish
Warning that I might disappear if not valued.
You will never see me again
If you continue, I'll completely cut ties; referencing Houdini's ability to vanish.
I'll be like Houdini, never see me, who needs a friend like you
Comparing the disappearance to Houdini, stating the preference for solitude.
I would've stuck to you like glue
Expressing the intention to stick around but acknowledging the missed chance.
But I guess you took the opportunity and you blew, that's on you
You missed an opportunity, and the consequences are on you.
I don't even wanna fight anymore
Tired of fighting, considering it wasted energy and expressing frustration.
It's just wasted energy and I hate repeating myself
Expressing dislike for repeating oneself in arguments.
Sometimes I think you wish that I was somebody else
Suspecting a desire for someone else and asserting the importance of staying true to oneself.
But I can't change, I'll never change, I'm staying myself
Resisting change, committing to being authentic and true to oneself.
So you can love me or leave me
Offering the choice to love or leave, emphasizing the importance of personal freedom.
Either way I am easy as long as I can be free
Being content as long as freedom is maintained, using "easy" to convey flexibility.
I'll be as happy as I can be
Expressing potential happiness with or without the relationship.
I'm an island like About a Boy
Comparing oneself to an island, symbolizing independence.
I'm swimming past the floating buoys
Describing independence, moving forward without external influences.
I'm moving to discover more land
Expressing a journey of self-discovery without reliance on a partner.
Without you holding my hand
Declining dependence, asserting independence from a former relationship.
Baby, it only gets worse when you hate to love
Highlighting the worsening situation when love is accompanied by hatred.
The whole point in this was to learn to trust
Stating the original intention of the relationship was to build trust.
How about now, do you miss me much?
Asking if there is regret for the current situation, questioning the lack of response.
You don't even answer when I text what's up, so girl, what's up?
Noticing a lack of response to messages, expressing frustration and seeking communication.
Why you hate me, love
Questioning why there is animosity or hatred in the relationship.
The whole point in this was to learn to trust
Reiterating the original goal of building trust in the relationship.
How about now, do you miss me much
Asking if there is a longing for the past and why there is silence.
You don't even answer when I text what's up, so girl, what's up?
Expressing frustration at the lack of response to messages.
I'm guessin' the tables have turned, (Tables have turned)
Suspecting a reversal in the dynamics of the relationship.
You glowed up, you moved on, I guess you ahead of the curve, (Ahead of the curve)
Acknowledging the partner's growth and moving on, feeling left behind.
I'm going insane, I'm out of my mind
Feeling mentally unstable and distressed due to perceived unfairness.
Cause I know I didn't deserve it all, (Yeah)
Asserting that the situation wasn't deserved; it was a mutual decision.
It was a mutual thing, that's all, (Yeah)
Clarifying that the breakup was mutual, without hard feelings.
Baby, please don't feel any animosity
Requesting understanding and absence of ill will.
I was the one trying to diffuse the subject, babe
Explaining the attempt to diffuse tension in the relationship.
Fire and flames was all that was sprayed
Referring to intense emotions, possibly anger and sadness.
You ripped my heart and I never forgave
Expressing lingering pain and the difficulty of forgiveness.
Guessing this effect is what they call pain
Recognizing the impact of emotional pain, referring to it as an effect.
Every second wish I could proclaim
Expressing a desire to declare feelings every moment, despite the pain.
I never hated any second of it
Acknowledging that every moment with the partner was cherished, even if painful.
Spending it with you is what me made love it
Describing the love built and the subsequent destruction by the partner.
We built on arc up and you tore it down
Recognizing the destruction of a significant aspect of the relationship.
Guess that is what made me slow this beat down
Attributing the slowing of the beat to the emotional impact of the breakup
