Lyrics for Wolf Like Me as interpreted by SphagnumEsplanade

Wolf Like Me Lyrics
Say say my playmate
Won't you lay hands on me
Mirror my malady
Transfer my tragedy

Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
But I bet we wouldn't get too far
Before the transformation takes
And bloodlust tanks and
Crave gets slaked

My mind has changed my body's frame but god I like it
My heart's aflame my body's strained but god I like it

My mind has changed my body's frame but god I like it
My heart's aflame my body's strained but god I like it

Charge me your day rate
I'll turn you out in kind
When the moon is round and full
Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mongrel mind

Baby doll I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky kind it's
You you you you

I know it's strange another way to get to know you
You'll never know unless we go so let me show you
I know its strange another way to get to know you
We've got till noon here comes the moon so let it show you
Show you now

Dream me oh dreamer
Down to the floor
Open my hands and let them
Weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
Down to my core
Open my heart and let it
Bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
Down on all fours
Show you what all the
Howlin's for

Hey hey my playmate
Let me lay waste to thee
Burned down their hanging trees
It's hot here hot here hot here hot here

Got a curse we cannot lift
Shines when the sunshine shifts
There's a curse comes with a kiss
The bite that binds the gift that gives

Now that we got gone for good
Writhing under your riding hood
Tell your grandma and your mama too
It's true
We're howling forever

I think 'mirror my lady' should be 'mirror my malady'. Not 100% sure, but that's what is sounds like and it fits in the song a bit more.

Bust that box and gut that fish = semi-veiled references to his desire to wheel some vagina?

Does anyone else think this song is about having primitive animal sex with a loved one?

i love this song so so much.

fantastic lyric job! there are only two lyric mistakes:

- "mirror my lady" is really "mirror my melody"

- "shines when the sunshine shifts" is really "shines when the sunset shifts" (this is near the end of the song)

Maybe it's just my inner stoner, but I think this song is really about doing drugs (most likely halucinogens) with a girl. The werewolf part is a metaphor for the trip.
Chorus: He says his mind has changed and his body is aflame.

"strange another way to get to know you" He's getting to know the girl a lot better (halucinogens make you far more open and possibly emotional),

"Dream me oh dreamer" He's dreaming while a awake: Halucinating.

I could go on for a while with these things, but I think you get the point. I think there may also be some sex involved, too ("gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind," "down on all fours," etc.)

Great job. Here are some small corrections :
-mirror my malady
-my body's strange but god i like it [not strained]
-what all that howlin's for
-there's a cure comes with a kiss [not curse]
There's an acoustic version of this song where you can here the lyrics quite clearly. Some of them are a little different than the fast version.
I agree that it kills the song to overanalyze it: i think it's enough to say, this is about how we're all lusty animals inside. The video backs that up. Excellent poetic and funny lyrics --right up there.

Another thing:
"see see my playmate" is the first line of a old hand clapping rhyme that little girls do.

this song is about one thing and one thing alone ^_^ you'd have to experience it to really 100% understand. it's all about rolling, and rolling hard. (at least that's what i hear)
but then again, i have noticed that a lot of totr songs tend to mean different things to different people in different places. it's like they know how to make a song that will connect to everybody listing in a different way. amazing songwriters... amazing songs

2 : an unwholesome or disordered condition

This is for those people who think it says My lady or Melody. :P

Anyway, single of the year for '06. Flawless really.

i think of this song as completely giving yourself to another person, and after it's almost as if your a different person but the same as the person you gave yourself too
we're howling forever

"just ate my baby" LOL WTF LOL.

I think a shady fellow (the werewolf!) is showing a virginal girl, a Little Red Riding Hood type, that there's plenty o' pleasure in being bad. He's trying to convince her that deep down she's a wolf, too, which I so get! We, people, pretend to be so civilized and wear suits and ties and glasses to make ourselves different from lions, who spend all their days rolling around with each other and killing their enemies in a way that to us is not dignified of a human, but sometimes our caveman selves escape us, like the fight or flight instinct coded into our DNA that does not succumb to our "modern" selves. No matter how sweet Little Red Riding Hood appears, she's transparent to the Wolf, who sees she's "a hideous thing inside." I think that when the song reaches "dream me, oh dreamer" and it gets all slow and dazed, that's when they're both giving in to their animal selves, and probably having hot wolf sex. I mean, "open my hands and let them weave onto yours"? They're holding hands. He's awakening her with her own animal truth, she's becoming poisoned by the werewolf's bite, and they both are slaves to the full moon and nature. "Show you what all that howlin' is for" = lolz, she's howling... get it!? And, also, I think "the bite that binds the gift that gives" is pretty cool-sounding grammar-wise. THE bite THAT binds THE gift THAT gives.

Gah, what a great song.

the song is about sex... pure... animal... carnal... sex.
Reminds me of that "Hungry like the Wolf" song.
