about

I wanted to write a really country based song that was all about a first person narrative through an almost spoken word delivery. Its really just a song about leaving your house and walking without any particular reason or direction but in the moment of idleness your thoughts become like flashback cards where each card embodies a scene in your life you have experienced and you are now revisiting it again. Remembering, remembrance, fading imagery and moments, retelling autobiographical stories all contained within the narrators body. Its like there whole world has become a flick card book of quickly seen and then forgotten moments, retold and relieved but never experienced the same. I also wanted the album to finish with a more country song because this will be the direction that the Suicide Swans fourth album ‘Reservations’ will be taking. In many way the song becomes a bookend to both finish this album but to be the jumping off point for the next.

lyrics

Well I was encased, By a thousand lies
Reminded I was erased, Before my time
And you saved your best, For me sometimes
Can I sleep in your arms, Or are those limbs not mine
And there were wolves, They were naïve thieves
Living like rubbish, Black gold on the streets
Warming the benches, Marking territories
Your body was born alone, Its news to me

C:
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods

Hold, Hold it close so tight
Wrap your head around it, Oh you can’t that’s right
It’s the ashes, They all drift and breathe
Nothing was stolen, It was asked to leave

C:
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods

B:
Burnt everything, Messed everyone around
Tomorrow is a long time, When today’s just starting out
All the pictures, Of shiny pretty gowns
We’re adrift like islands, Looking to be found

C:
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
And we, we’re like wolves
Somewhere out there, Hiding in the woods
