7 Days to the Wolves Lyrics

This song I think in a way was also influenced by the Red Riding Hood interpretation 'Company of Wolves' by Angela Carter.

"The wolves, my love, will come Taking us home where dust once was a man."

Rosaline refused to be confined to the norms of her society, and she was curious about her own sexuality. The wolf is seen as a symbol for a man's sexual nature, in the end when she throws her clothes into the fire and embraces it.

"Light the fire, feast Chase the ghost, give in Take the road less traveled by Leave the city of fools Turn every poet loose"

She leaves behind her old life and becomes a wolf, she strays from the path to take her own awakened journey.
