The Wild Side
Ezio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Slightly on the wild side
Having a slight inclination towards adventurous and unconventional behavior
Your eyes betray the pain you feel
Through the expression in your eyes, it is evident that you are experiencing emotional distress
And you'd never be suspected
Despite your actions, you manage to avoid raising suspicion or being suspected
But you keep all the souls you steal
You hold onto the essence of the individuals you deceive or harm
And your victims, once infected
Once your victims are influenced by you, they become like vampires, wandering the town
Like vampires, roam the town
Similar to vampires, they move around the town aimlessly
When the sun is sinking down
Especially during the twilight hours
Can you dream a little bit louder
Can you express your dreams and desires with more intensity and clarity
Well I can feel something, but I'm not sure
I am experiencing certain sensations, but I am uncertain about their nature
Can you call out a little bit louder
Can you speak up or assert yourself more boldly
Well I'm tasting blood and I want more
I have indulged in something and now I crave for more of it
Am I just, am I just a chemical reaction
Could it be that I am merely a product of biochemical processes
That is set to last a hundred years
Which is designed to endure for a long period of time, potentially a century
And what gives me a sense of right or wrong
What is responsible for shaping my understanding and judgment of morality
And what stops me controlling my hopes and fears
And what prevents me from having complete control over my aspirations and anxieties
No I just can't seem to see the big picture
I am unable to perceive or comprehend the overall situation or perspective
I don't feel I'm being guided day to day today
I lack the sensation of being directed or guided in my daily life
There must be a simple explanation
There must exist a straightforward reason or justification
Magnetic field or maybe radio waves
Possibly influenced by magnetic forces or electromagnetic radiation
You're irresistible, irresistible temptation
You possess a captivating and compelling allure that is difficult to resist
Something ancient from the other side
Something with age-old origins that originates from a different realm or dimension
Unnatural selection
A process of choice or preference that goes against the natural order or norms
A perfect mouth slightly on the wild side
A flawless mouth that displays a subtle inclination towards unconventional behavior
Stretch your arms out a little bit further
Extend your arms slightly beyond their current reach
I'm sinking fast and I don't want to go
I am rapidly descending or deteriorating and I desperately wish to avoid it
Down, down, down, down below
Continuously descending to a lower point or state
And if my grip were a little bit stronger
If my hold or grasp was slightly more powerful
Maybe then and only then I could stop this slide
Perhaps only under those circumstances could I halt this decline or downfall
Please try and wait a little bit longer
I implore you to exercise patience and give it a little more time
Well I've never found it easy to decide
I have always struggled with making decisions
