The Wolf
Unveiling Desires: The Wolf and the Sheep in The Deadbeat Cousins' Melody
Lyrics
I wanna give you something real
I want to offer something genuine and authentic.
I wanna give you what you don't know
I want to provide you with experiences or things that you are not familiar with.
It doesn't matter what you feel
Emotions or opinions don't matter in this context.
When the drug's all but gone, you'll be on your own
When the effects of the drug wear off, you'll find yourself alone.
You be the wolf, I'll be the sheep
You take on the role of the assertive or dominant figure (wolf), and I'll be the submissive or vulnerable one (sheep).
I'll be the one who gets you what you need
I'll be the person who fulfills your needs or desires.
You be the wolf, I'll be the sheep
Reiteration of the dynamic where you are the wolf, and I am the sheep.
Once you get closer I'll be yours to keep
As you come closer, I'll be committed to you.
It doesn't matter where you go
It doesn't matter where you go geographically.
It doesn't matter where you've been
One's past experiences or history are irrelevant.
I'm thinking you already know
There is an assumption that you are already aware of certain things.
But to say it aloud would be a sin
Expressing a hesitation to vocalize certain truths openly.
You be the wolf, I'll be the sheep
Restating the wolf-sheep dynamic and the role of provider.
I'll be the one who gets you what you need
Continuing the theme of meeting the needs of the other person.
You be the wolf, I'll be the sheep
Reiteration of the committed stance as you come closer.
Once you get closer I'll be yours to keep
Once you approach, I will be devoted to you.
I hear you calling and I already know the truth
Awareness of the truth behind the other person's calls or actions.
You be the wolf, I'll be the sheep
Reiteration of the dominant-submissive roles in the relationship.
I'll be the one who gets you what you need
Continued commitment to fulfilling the other person's needs.
You be the wolf, I'll be the sheep
Restating the dynamic of being the wolf and the sheep in the relationship.
Once you get closer I'll be yours to keep
Commitment to being yours once you approach or draw near.
