Wolves Without Teeth Lyrics

Open my chest and colour the spine
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
Swallow my breath
And take what is mine
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up

I'll be the blood
If you'll be the bones
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you all
So lift up my body
And lose all control
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you all

You haunt me like a hummingbird
Haunt me in my sleep
You'll say they're from another world
Sinking in my seat, oh
You're feeding on my energy
Letting go of it, she once said

And I run from wolves
Breathing heavily
And my feet
And I run from wolves
Tearing into me
Without teeth

I can see through you
We are the same
It's perfectly strange
You run in my veins
How can I keep you
Inside my lungs
I breathe what is yours
You breathe what is mine

You haunt me like a hummingbird
Haunt me in my sleep
You'll say they're from another word
Sinking in my seat, oh
You're feeding on my energy
Letting go of it, he once said

And I run from wolves
Breathing heavily
And my feet
And I run from wolves
Tearing into me
Without teeth

And you can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me

You haunt me like a hummingbird
Haunt me in my sleep
You'll say they're from another world
Sinking in my seat, oh
You're feeding on my energy
Letting go of it, she once said

And I run from wolves
Breathing heavily
And my feet
And I run from wolves
Tearing into me
Without teeth

And you can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me

Cover art for Wolves Without Teeth lyrics by Of Monsters And Men

After a deep reaserch I think this song is about a very close but toxic relationship between two lovers. They are both willing to give themselves completely to each other as you can see, but the lyrics have also a bit of violence in it, so is not a "healthy" relationship. That's why they are running from wolves WITHOUT TEETH. They are distroing each other by staying in this toxic relationship they want to keep so badly.

  1. the lyrics above are wrong.

Open my chest and colour my spine/ I'm giving you all/ I'm giving you all/

Swallow my breath and take what is mine/ I'm giving you all/ I'm giving you all/

I'll be the blood if you'll be the bones/ I'm giving you all/ I'm giving you all/

So lift up my body and lose all control/ I'm giving you all/ I'm giving you all/

You hover like a hummingbird/ Haunt me in my sleep/

You'll sailing from another world/ Sinking in my sea, oh/

You're feeding on my energy/ I'm letting go of it/ She wants it/

And I run from wolves, ooh/ Breathing heavily at my feet/ And I run from wolves, ooh/ Tearing into me without teeth/

I can see through you, we are the same/ It's perfectly strange/ You run in my veins/

How can I keep you inside my lungs/ I breathe what is yours/ You breathe what is mine/

You hover like a hummingbird/ Haunt me in my sleep/ You'll sailing from another world/

Sinking in my sea, oh/ You're feeding on my energy/ I'm letting go of it/ He wants it/

And I run from wolves, ooh/ Breathing heavily at my feet/ And I run from wolves, ooh/ Tearing into me without teeth/

And you can follow/ You can follow me/ You can follow/ You can follow me/

You hover like a hummingbird/ Haunt me in my sleep/ You're sailing from another world/ Sinking in my sea, oh/ "You're feeding on my energy/ I'm letting go of it" she once said/

And I run from wolves, ooh/ Breathing heavily at my feet/ And I run from wolves, ooh/ Tearing into me without teeth/

And you can follow/ You can follow me/ And you can follow/ You can follow me/ And you can follow/ You can follow me/ You can follow/ You can follow me

My Interpretation

I'm getting an angle of being afraid of something that is harmless, even good. Possibly the love of someone but I'm searching for a more metaphorical meaning. Many people are scared of commitment or relationships when they just shouldn't be.
