I think this is a wild at heart type love song.

The title of the song indicates that the lovers in question see themselves as mated for life, like wolves. They were wild on their own, long before they met, as indicated by the lines: "You were born on a full moon" and "I was born on the wrong side". However, just like any other lovers, this bonded pair has run into a rough patch in their relationship as indicated by the lines: "Come on and give me the keys back/I never meant to deceive you". Whether a lie of omission or a literal deception, things are rocky between them. The lines: "But baby, I’m the only one howling," says maybe one of the pair maybe lacking some of their original passion, or maybe they are depressed and it’s affect their passion for living. The lines: " Kn-kn-kn-knives in the kitchen/Sh-sh-sh-sheets on the bed/It’s just another distraction/from the love that we have" might indicated that some of this pairs turmoil might be surfacing in fights, or disputes over petty things, things that they know ultimately don't matter. In the chorus, it is reiterated that the pairs love is undying despite their troubles: “Oh babe I would die for you, whoa/Oh babe I will never stray/Oh babe I would die for you, whoa/Oh babe I will never leave”.

The final line of the song is very interesting: “Ive been born inside of Deus/Divus”. Deus is Roman for “god” or “gods” and Divus is a “divinized mortal” or a “perpetual deity”. My interpretation is that this line indicates that one-half of the pair in question sees themselves as being reborn inside the divinity of their relationship with their mate. Their relationship is a religion that they were reborn into, and the line feels like kind of a call out to the spirtual or holy aspect of love.

All in all, I think this song is beyond beautiful.
