Why The Wolfs Howl

Eria dOr's song 'Why The Wolfs Howl' delves into the complex interplay between love and the primal instincts that lie within us. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a romantic journey, symbolized by drifting down a stream, surrounded by nature's beauty. The roses on the shores, witnessing the lovers' kiss, represent the purity and sweetness of love. However, this idyllic scene is soon disrupted by darker undertones, as the singer reveals a beastly side lurking beneath the surface.

The song uses the metaphor of a wolf to explore the duality of human nature. The wolf, often associated with ferocity and primal instincts, symbolizes the darker, more animalistic side of the human psyche. The singer's struggle with this inner beast is evident in lines like 'I can't help gnashing my teeth, just a meal for the ferocious beast' and 'There is a wolf deep inside, in your kiss, I try to hide.' The full moon, a common symbol of transformation and madness, further emphasizes the uncontrollable nature of these primal urges.

As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the inevitability of this duality, urging the listener to 'face the truth and see life covered in gore.' The final lines, 'We are beasts and nothing more,' suggest a resignation to the idea that beneath the veneer of civilization, we are all driven by primal instincts. This raw and unflinching exploration of human nature challenges the listener to confront their own inner beast and the darker aspects of their identity.
