FEED - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Went to the mountain, drank all the wine

Walked through the valley, felt every high

I ran through fire, I did my time

I found my soul just to lose my mind

Met with the healers, prayed with the saints

All of the sinners know my name

There's scars I've caused and scars I've earned

Still don't know much, but here's what I learned

[Chorus]

My demons are on the hunt

But my angels taught me how to run

I got two wolves inside of me

But I decide which one to feed

[Verse 2]

Some days are diamond, some days are rough

Some days, I'm tired, some days, I'm tough

I built a bridge and burned it down

I found my wings just to lose my ground

One wolf howls while the other one sings

One wolf soothes while the other one stings

I hold on tight to things I've learned

But the wrong looks right when the tide has turned

[Chorus]

My demons are on the hunt

But my angels taught me how to run

I got two wolves inside of me

But I decide which one to feed

[Bridge]

One wolf howls while the other one sings

One wolf soothes while the other one stings (Yeah)

[Chorus]

My demons are on the hunt

But my angels taught me how to run

I got two wolves inside of me (Yeah)

But I decide which one to feed (Yeah)

[Outro]

I decide which one to feed

It’s basically just talking about how both wolves inside of you make you feel. Like I said, there’s a power in being able to decide which one you choose to live with.

There’s an indigenous folktale where a grandfather is talking to his grandson and he says, “Grandson, there’s two wolves inside of you that are fighting. One represents all good things – love, positivity, hope, happiness, joy – and the other one represents all things evil so negativity, greed, envy, jealousy – all of that. The grandson says, “Well grandfather, which one wins?” and he says, “The one you feed.” It’s just like a reminder that we all have good and bad inside of us – positivity, negativity – and it’s what you choose. Do you choose to be a pessimist or do you choose to be an optimist and we choose on a daily basis. It’s a reminder that like, I’m in the driver seat and every day, I get to decide what direction my life goes in
