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
The song "Wild Side" by Ezio is a contemplation on the human condition and the struggle to understand ourselves and our place in the world. The lyrics describe someone who appears normal but secretly harbors a dark side. The singer struggles with understanding our primal urges and the forces that drive us to do things that are both good and evil. The chorus speaks to the irresistible pull of our desires, and how we can feel like we are losing control.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of searching for answers to the big questions of life. The singer questions whether there is a higher power guiding us, or if everything is just a chemical reaction. This speaks to our innate desire to understand the world around us and find meaning in our existence. The metaphor of vampires is used to explore the idea of being infected by our desires and how they can continue to haunt us even after we've satisfied them.

Despite your secrets, people wouldn't guess your true identity.
But you keep all the souls you steal
You maintain control over the people you have influenced.
And your victims, once infected
The people you have affected are like vampires, wandering about the town.

That is set to last a hundred years

And what gives me a sense of right or wrong
What determines my moral compass?
And what stops me controlling my hopes and fears
What prevents me from fully controlling my emotions?

I struggle to see the overall situation clearly.

I feel like I am not being directed in my life at the moment.
There must be a simple explanation
There has to be a straightforward reason for what is happening.
Magnetic field or maybe radio waves
Perhaps the reason for my attraction to you is due to some strange electromagnetic force.

I'm sinking fast and I don't want to go
I am quickly falling for you, and I do not want to lose myself.
Down, down, down, down below
I fear that I am falling into something I cannot control.
And if my grip were a little bit stronger
If I were a bit more in control of my emotions...
Maybe then and only then I could stop this slide
...then perhaps I could resist my attraction to you.
Please try and wait a little bit longer
Please do not give up on me just yet.
Well I've never found it easy to decide
I have never been good at making difficult decisions.
