Wild Boys
Atrocity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

You got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way




Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Line by Line Meaning

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
The untamed youths are returning from their daring and dangerous escapades


In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
In the summer, as the moon gives way to the haze of dust cloud


Wild boys fallen far from glory
The reckless young men have lost their reputation and prestige


Reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
With no regard for consequences, the youths are living on the edge


Because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world
In a fearful and uncertain world, deadly acts are being committed on the roadside


They tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Oppressors have tried to defeat and subdue us, and it appears they will make another attempt

Untamed youths never lose their wild, rebellious spirit


Wild boys never chose this way
The youths were never given the option to live any other way


Wild boys never close your eyes
Untamed youths never shut their eyes to the world around them


Wild boys always shine
The rebellious, untamed young men always stand apart and shine


You got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
Emergency responders greet you with sirens, and your pain is met with violence


And your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain
While you are enjoying yourself in the moment, your phone constantly rings with reminders of reality


Wild boys wonder where is glory
Untamed youths question where their former honor and fame have gone


Where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
With no leaders to look up to, where have all the benevolent figures gone?


And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
Lovers fight with betrayal and scorn, trading secrets and insults like arrows


They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
Those who attempted to suppress your wild side will likely make another go at it
