Kiuassault- I went with a wolf because it seems to be a recurring theme with Sonata's music. Each album has songs about wolves. Could be a dog for all I know, I never got too much into bios of the band members, my bad. JoyDivisionFan1- I don't get what you mean? The human had the animal with him out of the animal's habitat, and the animal grew to accept the new life. That's how I saw it anyway. |

This song is about the relationship between a human and a wolf (or some type of wild animal, wolf fitting the traits in the song, plus Sonata is known for having songs about wolves or werewolves). It seems like the relationship builds to the point where the wolf really wants to stay with the person keeping him, but is unable to shake the true nature meant for the wolf in the wild. The song is from the wolf's point of view. At first the wolf realizes that the human is different, but doesn't seem to have any intention of harming the wolf. The wolf begins to develop a bond with the human and realizes the human is lonely and sad, suffering every moment left alone. So the loyal wolf assures the human he is guarding, like a faithful pet. Despite all this, the chorus is the wolf reminding himself that he is not like the human- "I'm not your child"- and that there is something calling him, that he must get back to the wild where he belongs. The loyal wolf follows and obeys the human like a partner, keeping in the back of his mind that he is a "creature of the night" and that he cannot escape his true nature. The rest of the song, I'm not sure. I can think of two possible endings: One, the human and the wolf maintain their bond, but giving the wolf more freedom- maybe the wolf is released by night and returns for the days. Or, two, the wolf returns to it's nature and devours the human. Either way. |
