When diving into “Send Me to The Wolves” by The Gems, you’re not just hitting play on a track; you’re strapping in for a straight-up, no-holds-barred rock and roll ride. This isn’t about reinventing the wheel; it’s about taking that wheel, greasing it up with some high-octane energy, and letting it rip down the highway of classic rock vibes with a modern twist.
Right from the get-go, the song grabs you with its gritty guitar riffs that are as raw as they are catchy. It’s like they’ve channeled the spirit of rock and roll’s golden years, wrapped it in a leather jacket, and unleashed it into the wild. The rhythm section doesn’t just back up the melody; it kicks down the door, making sure you’re tapping your foot, nodding your head, or, at the very least, feeling that irresistible urge to air-drum along.
The vocals are a beast all their own. There’s a rasp, a growl, and a howl that feels like it’s been dragged through the streets of rock’s storied past, picking up bits and pieces from the legends and making them its own. It’s a voice that doesn’t just sing; it tells a story, paints a picture, and drags you into the narrative, making you feel every high and low along the way.
Now, about the video – it’s good fun, plain and simple. It doesn’t try to overshadow the music with overly complex narratives or flashy effects. Instead, it complements the track’s energy in a way that’s just fun without being overwhelming or preachy. It’s the visual equivalent of a well-timed tasteful guitar solo: not the main focus but utterly satisfying and perfectly in tune with the song’s spirit.
In essence, “Send Me to The Wolves” by The Gems is a gem of the enduring allure of rock and roll. It’s a reminder that sometimes, all you need is a few chords, a compelling beat, and a voice that can weave it all together into something that feels both familiar and fresh. It’s a track—and a video—that doesn’t just aim to entertain but invites you to join in on the fun. And in the end, isn’t that what rock and roll’s all about?
Lyrics
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Ricochet, out for blood
Nothing straight, grace of god
House of lies, paper thin
Cold as ice, melting sin
Lord of flies, pay to win
Demon eyes, conjuring
Take my crown, show your teeth
Burn me down, I love the heat
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't keep me down now
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't hold me down now
Heaven bound, I see the gates
I fill my eyes with love and hate
Like a ghost, I'm haunting you
I see the sky, it's shining blue
Greedy nose, dirty mouth
Basic bitch up in this house
Perpetual liar and full of shit
Personality split
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't keep me down now
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't hold me down now
Heaven bound, I see the gates
I fill my eyes with love and hate
Like a ghost, I'm haunting you
I see the sky, it's shining blue
I'll eat your bones 'cause I'm the queen
I'll spit you out, just leave the ring
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't keep me down now
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't hold me down now
Heaven bound, I see the gates
I fill my eyes with love and hate
Like a ghost, I'm haunting you
I see the sky, it's shining blue
I'll eat your bones 'cause I'm the queen
I'll spit you out, just leave the ring
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't keep me down now
Send me to the wolves
I'll break out
Can't hold me down now
Vicious Shred
