"Running with the Wolves" by Kara Connolly follows a moment of irreversible change, when an old story of lost glory suddenly becomes a personal call. The pull away from what is known feels inescapable, like vines taking hold. Running wild means losing innocence and tasting a soul revival at once, a liberation found in trusting intuition and embracing desire. Being thrown to the wolves becomes transformation rather than punishment, and the refusal to go back home carries the force of a new identity.
running with the wolves Lyrics by Kara Connolly
The writing’s written on the wall
An ageless knowing after all
Old, old story, lost glory
All at once, I felt the call
I know you know you have to go
There’s no escape
When the vines take hold
Now I’m runnin’ with the wolves (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves like I’m wild (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Losin’ innocence like a child
Tastin’ this sweet soul revival (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves
There’s freedom in the fire
I trust my intuition
On the edge of desire
Embracing liberation
I know you know you have to go
There’s no escape
When the vines take hold
Now I’m runnin’ with the wolves (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves like I’m wild (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Losin’ innocence like a child
Tastin’ this sweet soul revival (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
They threw me to the wolves
And I became one
(Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
(Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves like I’m wild (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Losin’ innocence like a child
Tastin’ this sweet soul revival (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Now I’m runnin’ with the wolves (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Runnin’ with the wolves (Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’, runnin’)
Now I’m runnin’ with
(The wolves)
I’m never going back
Never going back
Never going back, no
Never going back (Runnin’ with the wolves)
Never going back
Never going back home
Runnin’ with the wolves
