The Wild Side
Ezio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slightly on the wild side
Your eyes betray the pain you feel
And you'd never be suspected
But you keep all the souls you steal

And your victims, once infected
Like vamipres, roam the town
Slightly on the wild side
When the sun is sinking down

Can you dream a little bit louder
Well I can feel something, but I'm not sure
Can you call out a little bit louder
Well I'm tasting blood and I want more

Am I just, am I just a chemical reaction
That is set to last a hundred years
And what gives me a sense of right or wrong
And what stops me controlling my hopes and fears

No I just can't seem to see the big picture
I don't feel I'm being guided day to day today
There must be a simple explanation
Magnetic field or maybe radio waves

You're irresistible, irresistible temptation
Something ancient from the other side
Unnatural selection
A perfect mouth slightly on the wild side

Stretch your arms out a little bit further
I'm sinking fast and I don't want to go
Down, down, down, down below
And if my grip were a little bit stronger
Maybe then and only then I could stop this slide
Please try and wait a little bit longer
Well I've never found it easy to decide

You're irresistible, irresistible temptation
Something ancient from the other side




Unnatural selection
A perfect mouth slightly on the wild side

Overall Meaning

In "The Wild Side," Ezio sings about someone who is slightly on the wild side, someone who hides their pain behind their eyes and goes unnoticed by others. This person is like a collector of souls, taking pieces from others and leaving them infected, much like vampires who roam a town. The lyrics convey a sense of mystery and darkness, as the person's allure is described as irresistible and their actions are seen as unnatural.


The chorus introduces a deeper existential question about the nature of human existence. The singer wonders if they are just a chemical reaction, destined to last a hundred years, and what determines their sense of right and wrong. They express confusion about their lack of guidance and control over their hopes and fears. The reference to a simple explanation, such as a magnetic field or radio waves, reflects the singer's longing for clarity and understanding.


The second verse continues the theme of temptation and struggle. The singer implores the person on the wild side to stretch their arms out further, as they feel themselves sinking and not wanting to go down. They express a desire for a stronger grip to prevent themselves from sliding further. The plea to wait a little bit longer suggests a struggle with decision-making and the difficulty of deciphering what is right.


Overall, "The Wild Side" presents a complex exploration of human nature, temptation, and the search for meaning.
