The song "Howl" by Delaney Jane is about longing for someone who is not currently with the speaker. They want to be taken to a wild side and feel the freedom of howling like wolves at the moon. However, they also want peace of mind and a piece of the person they are missing. The speaker reminisces about getting lost in bed sheets with their loved one, tracing maps on each other's bodies. They regret letting this person go and wonder how they can let them know how they feel. They feel like they always get close but just miss out on true love. Overall, the song is about missing someone and wanting to be close to them again. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and longing for human connection.
