This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Genom vättars djupa skogar
Över myrars fridfulla ensamhet
Bränner fruktans flamma fram
Genom månbelysta dälder
Över bergets rygg mott ett okänt mål
Jagad ulv nu skyndar fram
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Gryningstimma, full av hat
Ringa in och rota ut
Folkets fasa skall ej mera stryka fram
Genom äng, genom myr och skog
I människoland
In i mörkret trygghet sluter
Sina skygga barn utav enslig kull
Ifrån jaktens gälla larm
Vitt revir nu sakta tynar
Utav människans hand uti vildmarksland
Sveper ödets svarta arm
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Kämpa tappert, kämpa idogt
Känn nu eldens glöd i ditt vildmarksblod
Visa drevet ulvars mod
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Skymningstimma, tung av blod
Ringat in och rotat ut
Ulvars fasa skall för evigt stryka fram
Genom äng, genom myr och skog
I Vargaland
Över myrars fridfulla ensamhet
Bränner fruktans flamma fram
Genom månbelysta dälder
Över bergets rygg mott ett okänt mål
Jagad ulv nu skyndar fram
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Gryningstimma, full av hat
Ringa in och rota ut
Folkets fasa skall ej mera stryka fram
Genom äng, genom myr och skog
I människoland
In i mörkret trygghet sluter
Sina skygga barn utav enslig kull
Ifrån jaktens gälla larm
Vitt revir nu sakta tynar
Utav människans hand uti vildmarksland
Sveper ödets svarta arm
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Kämpa tappert, kämpa idogt
Känn nu eldens glöd i ditt vildmarksblod
Visa drevet ulvars mod
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Kavlen går i socknarna
Nu blir det vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
I drev mot ulvens fall
Skymningstimma, tung av blod
Ringat in och rotat ut
Ulvars fasa skall för evigt stryka fram
Genom äng, genom myr och skog
I Vargaland

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
