Fans waited with baited breath to hear the debut collaboration from pop star Selena Gomez and electronic fave Marshmello. “Wolves” is an emotional roller coaster far less shiny and peppy than most of the masked producer’s other work. Gomez imbues the lyrics with the raw strength of her own experiences as acoustic guitar builds the song’s backbone, while the hook is heavy with Marshmello’s signature synths and patterns.
With these two at the helm, it will no doubt be a hit. Lyrically, it tells of what dark deeds we do to capture the high of love. You can read the lyrics below — start studying them today, and impress your friends tomorrow.
“Wolves”
In your eyes there’s a heavy blue
One to love and one to lose
Sweet divide, a heavy truth
Water or wine, don’t make me choose
I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been running with the wolves
to get to you, to get to you
I’ve been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
to get to you, to get to you
I’ve looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
all for you, yea all for you
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been crying with the wolves
to get to you, to get to you
Your fingertips trace my skin
to places I have never been
Blindly I am following
Break down these walls and come on in
I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been running with the wolves
to get to you, to get to you
I’ve been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
to get to you, to get to you
I’ve looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
all for you, yea all for you
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been crying with the wolves
to get to you, oh to get to you
