Song Meaning of “The Wolf And The Butler” by Angus Stone
The Wolf And The Butler is a song about two people, seemingly two opposite people who come together to create something beautiful. The wolf, representing savagery and wildness, is paired with the butler, portraying refinement and class, who together create something that is unique and powerful. The wolf has a wild nature that is tamed and harnessed by the butler, making the promise of something beautiful and harmonious.
The song speaks to those of us who feel like the two opposite sides of our being – wildness and refinement – can never come together. However, the message is that when we take the risk to merge the two, beautiful and unusual things can happen. It is a reminder to take chances and believe in ourselves enough to be vulnerable to let our wild and witty sides combine. In the end, this is what makes us unique and strong and unafraid to embrace our other side.
