Fiona Apple - Werewolf Lyrics






I could liken you to a werewolf
The way you left me for dead
But I admit that I provided a full moon

And I could liken you to a shark
The way you bit off my head
But then again I was waving around a bleeding open wound

But you were such a super guy
'Til the second you get a whiff of me
We're like a wishing well
And a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other
All we gotta do is avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

The lava of a volcano
Shot up hot from under the sea
One thing leads to another
And you made an island of me

And I could liken you to a chemical
The way you made me compound to compound
But I'm a chemical too
Inevitable you and me would mix

And I could liken you to a lot of things
But I always come around
'Cause in the end I'm a sensible girl
I know the fiction of the fix

But you were such a super guy
'Til the second you get a whiff of me
We're like a wishing well
And a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other
All we gotta do is avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

    Proof that music is poetry. Such an inspiration.

    Fiona brought me here, cure and remedy for my eyed ears

    Her music is timeless

  4. Y.... I....

    haha why have I always thought she is saying "boat of electricity"
    I realise it makes no sense, but cool imagery anyway.

    Lyrics

    I could liken you
    To a werewolf
    The way you left
    Me for dead
    But I admit that
    I provided a full moon
    And I could liken
    You to a shark
    The way you bit
    Off my head
    But then again
    I was waving
    Around a bleeding
    Open wound

    But
    You are such a super guy
    Till the second you
    Get a whiff of me
    We’re like a wishing well
    And a bolt of electricity
    But
    We can still support each other,
    All we gotta do is
    Avoid each other

    Nothing wrong when a song
    Ends in a minor key
    Nothing wrong when a song
    Ends in a minor key

    The lava of the
    Volcano shot up
    Hot from under the sea
    One thing leads
    To another and
    You made an island of me

    And I could liken you
    To a chemical the way
    You made me
    Compound a compound
    But
    I'm a chemical too
    Inevitable you and
    Me would mix
    And I could liken you
    To a lot of things but
    I always come around
    Cause in the end
    I’m a sensible girl
    I know the fiction
    Of the fix

    But
    You are such a super guy
    Till the second you
    Get a whiff of me
    We are like a wishing well
    And a bolt of electricity
    But
    We can still support each other,
    All we gotta do’s
    Avoid each other

    Nothing wrong when a song
    Ends in a minor key
    Nothing wrong when a song
    Ends in a minor key
    Nothing wrong when a song
    Ends in a minor key
    Nothing wrong when a song
    Ends in a minor key

    Jelly Ellipsis always love the usage of the homophones lychan and liken

  29. Q.... F....

    Thoughts?

  30. R.... M....

    Werewolf..  Well, No it's not that I did not get to anything about the meaning of this song..  You have like, the Moonlight Reflections..  Moondance..  See if you could tell me why Moondance is not that easy to perform..

  31. R.... M....

    I think they should all support each other..

  32. T.... K....

    Yes Love sent me here too.

  33. G.... L....

    Absolute masterpiece!

  34. E.... W....

    *Love* brought me here...

  35. P.... t....

    I´m here because of `love` (Netflix shit).

  36. b.... ....

    Beautiful song. Fiona is amazing. I need to buy this album.

  37. A.... C....

    But I'll admit I provided a full moon.

  38. Y.... ....

    The final shot of the Love episode :(

    Y.... ....

    Yeah man, that was fucking heavy :^(

    Y.... ....

    Yaron Berdugo as in love with Gus and Mickey?

  39. l.... ....

    I've always loved that song. But it really had quite the punch at the end of Love S2ep11. It fitted like a glove. Ultimately, I guess this just shows how far-reaching this song feels.

  40. B.... ....

    The show Love send me here. Who else?

    B.... ....

    Me too 😀

  41. T.... R....

    'we can still support each other, all we gotta do is avoid each other...'

  42. D.... F....

    the lava of a volcano shot up, hot, from under the sea. one thing lead to another and youve made an island of me💔

  43. F.... B....

    good song

  44. F.... B....

    great song

  45. D.... M....

    Thanks, honey.

  46. 2.... U....

    There's no one else like Fiona. She's truly a gifted artist.

    2.... U....

    What about Lana del Ray and Tori Amos?

  47. Z.... H....

    she paints beautiful images in my brain

    Z.... H....

    she sure is an artist, kinda like a Van Gough of music.

    Z.... H....

    your butt is a picture

  48. A.... M....

    ..but I admit that I provided a full moon. :-)

  49. O.... ....

    Officer Barbrady introduced me to this singer over a decade ago. Glad he did.

  50. V.... E....

    Deusa <3 Nunca vou cansar de sua voz <3

    V.... E....

    Penso o mesmo!!! A voz me encanta, ainda mais nessa música.

    V.... E....

    +Leonardo Britto Minha música favorita dela. É simples e cativante. Apenas a voz e o piano. Consigo sentir os sentimentos dela emergindo quando mais perto do refrão. Quero muito que ela lance material novo, mas acho que vai ficar só na vontade mesmo. ><

    V.... E....

    +Victor Eduardo Ela lançará de surpresa pros brasileiros como sempre. Pelo menos, esse último foi surpresa: tava na loja, vi e comprei. Mas na esperança!!!

  51. d.... t....

    great artwork, my Fiona will leave me for dead. Surprised.

  52. A.... T....

    Nice song

  53. g.... ....

    I just noticed the double meaning of liken/lycan,I wonder if that was intentional. It's hard to tell,it's not like she's really talking about a werewolf

    g.... ....

    intentional

    g.... ....

    Lol yup, she says lycan ... genius

    g.... ....

    Yeah she has several layered puns in this song.

    g.... ....

    she ruins it by saying "i could liken you to a shark" and the other times she uses it throughout imo though :(

    g.... ....

    that's called word play

  54. g.... ....

    Any album with titles like Werewolf and Daredevil has to be good

    g.... ....

    Any album with titles like my butt and your mom's butt has to be good.

    g.... ....

    kingcam0775 Wow got em.

  55. J.... R....

    I really wish she would do a video for this song, don't you?

    J.... R....

    I would love something like that but you know Fiona, it would be something unlike anything else and be wonderful and unexpected. =)

    J.... R....

    The every single night video is awesome,I never would expect to see a giant octopus

    J.... R....

    Not really. One of the greatest aspects of listening music is making the imagery your own.

  56. M.... L....

    Excellent words and music. Creative and amazing.

  57. .... ....

    My English teacher would love this.

    .... ....

    +MITCHELL POLLOCK you are a hero.

    .... ....

    My music teacher would love this.

    .... ....

    Nullwaves my divorce attorney played this at my final divorce hearing.

    .... ....

    Your english teacher would love my butt.

    .... ....

    Carolynn Alvarez LOL

  58. M.... F....

    Wow, you're weird.

  59. m.... ....

    I seriously thought someone was coming into my house at the beginning.

  60. P.... x....

    wow lots of great music has been coming out in the last couple years

  61. N.... ....

    Guys, I'm seriously crushing on Fiona Apple right now even though she's decades older than me. Damn, that sucks!

  62. F.... ....

    I got freaked out when the children started screaming

  63. k.... ....

    sorry , did not know that. Thanks for informing me.That is terrible:(

  64. E.... W....

    ...oh my God I didn't notice that!

  65. M.... M....

    huh? she made bad choices because she was raped as a child and obviously is still angry.

  66. j.... p....

    My music brought me here

  67. C.... H....

    this is by far my favorite song from this album, love the lyrics there so well written :D

  68. k.... ....

    Women like her must make poor choices in men for the only subconscious reason that ...
    A) they know they are not stuck ever
    B)The hard lessons and hurt that make them stronger
    C) well she is an artist and we all know they need inspiration..:)
    D)sex

  69. Y.... ....

    Metal brought me here

  70. l.... r....

    My music brought me here

  71. F.... W....

    I really dig her videos:really sexy and chic!!!

  72. L.... M....

    She's the real deal

  73. �.... �....

    Awesome.
    WEREWOLVES ROCK.

  74. c.... ....

    This song isn`t depressing, it`s uplifting. All of her songs have that affect on me. It`s weird to read that it`s different for other people, but I guess everyone hears a song differently :)

    c.... ....

    carmen0981 maybe her music empathizes with you so it's healing

  75. V.... T....

    If you like to make a cover just do it. Don't ask for likes before doing something.

  76. M.... D....

    God bless whoever made this woman so sad, this album is a work of art

  77. T.... ....

    Her voice so mature now I love it.

  78. M.... K....

    Mymusic brought me

  79. A.... ....

  93. M.... ....

    Great album. I love this song.

  94. V.... I....

    we can still support eachother, all we gotta do's avoid eachother... nothing's wrong when a song ends in a minor key

  95. a.... s....

    Some people clearly dont understand puns. Dont sweat the hate comments. i found this funny.

  96. f.... ....

    if you dig this stuff, you should look into John Frusciante's solo work like Inside of Emptiness or The Will To Death

  97. C.... S....

    It IS 'liken'. It's in the lyric book.
