The track begins as a warm story of a man and child playing on the front lawn of a home in a cul-de-sac. It takes a turn when someone is spotted watching them from the bushes, dressed up in a wolf costume. The repetition of ‘I couldn’t turn myself back’ and ‘there wasn’t enough room’ alludes to a sense of entrapment and impending doom. The cul-de-sac imprisons the wolf’s victims while the protagonist is unable to hide. The title and lyrics indicate that the cul-de-sac is literally and metaphorically the end of the road
