Feed the Wolf Lyrics

I can feel the animal within
I chain the beast and crawl inside myself
I hear the call of violence
I sleep no more and I can't
I've lost it all

Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

I can see the devil closing in
I choke the breath that dies to cry for help
I feel the pull of gravity
I bleed no more, and rise again
I've lost it all

Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

It is no longer a human, it's a beast
Unmerciful, ferocious, fearless
You're a madman
Tampering with nature
Every man, a vicious animal

Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

(Fight the animal)
Carry me through (fight the animal) this world alive
(Fight the animal)
I feel no more (fight the animal), the suffering
(Fight the animal)
Bury me in (fight the animal) this cold light
(Fight the animal)
I feed the wolf (fight the animal), and shed my skin

I can feel the animal within
I chain the beast and crawl inside myself
I hear the call of violence
I sleep no more and I can't
I've lost it all

Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

I can see the devil closing in
I choke the breath that dies to cry for help
I feel the pull of gravity
I bleed no more, and rise again
I've lost it all

Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

It is no longer a human, it's a beast
Unmerciful, ferocious, fearless
You're a madman
Tampering with nature
Every man, a vicious animal

Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, the suffering
Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe this song is about someone struggling to only be good and keep their darker side at bay. They struggle every day with anger issues and it makes them feel like an animal in a cage. They realize that acting out in anger would be inhumane and quite devastating not only to themselves but to everyone around them.

i believe this song is about conformity and the lies we are made to believe. The song talks of an individual who could never fit in anywhere, due to trauma, deformity, asocial behavior etc. This person is made to believe they are less, inferior and don't belong. However this person has an alter ego or a side of them that refuses to die and fights the lies that they here. They feed the wolf their alter ego and shed their skin, a skin they have been made to wear by society.
