About This Track
‘Thorns’ by Wolf Alice is an alternative track from the album ‘The Clearing’, released in 2025. The lyrics frame a bruised, self-aware argument about injury and confession, with the speaker weighing whether public honesty actually cleans anything up. Lines such as “take the thorn out” set the image of hurt made physical, then the tone turns accusatory and theatrical, with a barbed sense of vanity, compulsion, and self-sabotage. It is part regret, part exposure, and part rage at the performance of having been hurt, right down to the decision to sing and dance about it.
"Thorns" is a track by Wolf Alice, from the album The Clearing, released 21st August 2025. The track is 3:14 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Wolf Alice.
