Howl 03:42
I was just a fox hunting on my own You were a wolf In a pack you would roam We were a tree Spring and summer a beautiful sight You held tight to this leaf, but fall came on quickly And you left it to die Ahooooo I wish I was a bear So I could sleep it all away But I'm just a fish Thoughts swimming night and day I wish I was a man so I could just forget But my mind is a vault Oh, I am an elephant Ahooooo Sometimes I feel like my mind is small But my heart is large and it carries all Sometimes my will is so small But my hear is large and it'll carry it all And it aches For you

Tarantula 05:20
Little apricot Looked so sweet, but it's not And it lured me here for these wasps To lay their eggs inside me Now I'm dying Sweet little bee Come cuddle up inside me And pollenate my ears with your words For it's been far too long since I've bloomed And I'm dying Under a blood red moon that is waxing I sit and I lick all my wounds You start dancing Spilling of blood Showers of dirt (keep dancing) Forget all the bitterness leave all the hurt Keep dancing Keep me Keep me dancing

Intrinsically poetic, Wilde’s music is about the journey, rather than a set destination.
