On the Low
Hidden Echoes: Wolves Like Us Unveils the Enigma in 'On the Low'
Lyrics
The same old blood
The enduring familial connections or shared heritage
It fills our bones
It becomes an integral part of who we are
It bangs a chord and a drum
Stirs emotions and rhythms
We've never been
We have never been fully informed or aware
In the know
We lack understanding or insight
We're in the back rows, we're on the low
We occupy the less prominent positions and remain unnoticed
our poison hearts
Our emotionally troubled hearts
Wore hoods like crowns
We hid our pain like it was a source of pride
We took the breaks we got
We took the opportunities we were given
Off all the ones
Away from those who've left my life
That I've lost
Referring to the people who are no longer around
Oh you my brothers, you hurt the most
Friends or close ones hurt me deeply
and in high suburban weeds
In suburban areas with tall grass
The wrong turns we took
Mistakes or missteps we've made
Burning fires
Bonfires near the waterway
by the creek
Close to a stream or small river
still carry the dice with me
I still carry chances or uncertainties with me
Not actively participating or involved
six wishes are three, son
Reference to making limited wishes and feigning ignorance
but we still play dumb
Despite knowledge, we pretend to be unaware
it goes in a circle you cant get out of
Continuation of a cyclical pattern that's inescapable
