About This Track

'Wolf' by Marika Hackman is a 2013 track from the EP 'Sugar Blind EP'. The lyrics cast a tense, self-protective voice under threat, with images of pressure, control, and a body-bright discomfort, crystallised in the line “head to the gun”. There is a recurring sense of dread, paired with a pointed refusal to be the instigator of harm. The tone reads as panicked, resentful, and defensive, as the singer frames herself as unstable while others urge restraint and judgement.

"Wolf" is a track by Marika Hackman, from the album Sugar Blind EP, released 2013. The track is 3:21 long. It's filed under Singer/Songwriter. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Marika Hackman.

Lyrics

Wolf

I'm not the one with my head to the gun
And your heart is bursting at the seams
You're taking me down with every crease in your frown
The folding of your skin is making me feel queasy

Old man, beware
I'm not all there
Or so I'm told
By the powers that be

Fallen at your feet with an arrow through my cheek
Shown a fraction of the mind
The rest would have you six foot deep, you creep
Where do I stand now? I'm strapped against the bow
Of a ship that's captained by a fraud and I get sick at sea

Old man, beware
I'm not all there
Or so I'm told
By the powers that be, the powers vested in me

I'm not the one with my head to the gun
And your heart is bursting at the seams
You're taking me down with every crease in your frown
The folding of your skin is making me feel queasy
