From the duo’s 2012 album “The Lion’s Roar,” First Aid Kit’s eerie country-folk song “Wolf” can be interpreted in many ways. The references to folklore are crucial to this duo’s fiery spirit and it comes through well in this song.
[Verse 1]
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya, hey-ya
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, a shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya, hey-ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Holy light, oh, burn the night
Oh, keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow, child of woe, oh
Keep holding on
[Chorus]
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey-hey, hey-ya
[Verse 2]
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya, hey-ya
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, a shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya, hey-ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Wayward winds, the voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of woe, oh
Lend a mending hand
[Chorus]
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, the trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey-hey, hey-ya
