Released two months before her sophomore album hit the shelves, “Howl” is the 4th and final single off of Alexandra Savior’s The Archer.
A slick bass line is well accompanied by a synthesizer, giving the track an eerie aura that compliments the lyrics, full of references to an abusive relationship...
Howl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a little dangerous
When you come treading by me
Hide and seek delirium
Where do you think you'll find me?
Hold a little tighter, boy, 'cause I
Am falling from behind
Walk a little lighter, boy, 'cause I
Can't get you off my mind
[Chorus]
Howl
[Verse 2]
It's a little peculiar
Cold sweats off dripping down my bed
Transatlantic barrier
Trust falling right into my death
Hold a little tighter, boy, 'cause I
Am falling from behind
Walk a little lighter, boy, 'cause I
Can't get you off my mind
[Chorus]
Howl
Can't get you off my mind
Howl
[Bridge]
Handsome dictator of my crimes
I can't tell if they're yours, I can't tell if they're mine
Sweet revelation bitter wine
I'm dreaming but mostly I'm feeling behind
[Refrain]
Hold a little tighter, boy, 'cause I
Am falling from behind
Walk a little lighter, boy, 'cause I
Can't get you off my mind
[Chorus]
