Wild Child
End of Green Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, 'cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth

I'm a wild child, come and love me

I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you

Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you
Run away 'cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you

A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me

'Cause I want what you do
I want you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song depict someone who is untamable and free-spirited, represented by riding on the winds that bring the rain. This wild child is a creature of love, indicating that they are capable of deep passion and intense desire, making it impossible for anyone to keep them tied down. The wild child's target is someone who is already in love with someone else, and they want to steal their love away from them because they believe they can love them better than the person they're currently with. The chorus repeats the wild child's desire to be loved and touched by the person they desire, emphasising that their heart is in exile and they need someone to touch them and ignite the burning passion they possess.

The second verse amplifies the wild child's intensity by asking them to reveal the lies they tell the person they're with when they run away to be with the wild child. The sense of urgency is elevated, suggesting that the person the wild child is after is already in a lot of pain because of their actions. The wild child's desire is so intense that they feel like they're burning up with fire and can only be quenched by their love interest's touch. The song ends with the wild child positioning themself as a naked heat machine, waiting for the moons to arise so that they can experience the full force of their passion.
