Wild and Untamed Thing
Frank-N-Furter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

VERSE 1:
Sometimes it feels like you don’t own a fear
Standing strong when thunderstorms appear
But when I ask you is this love for real
You just turn away, not sure how you feel
CHORUS:
If you let it out maybe you'll find out what it's all about
It's the only thing that can make you swing when you're down and out
It's not out of line, boy you gonna be fine, we can take all night
If you let it out maybe you'll find out what it's all about
VERSE 2:
All the summer’s never-ending nights
Fade away and so you have the right
To say it’s over, something there and then
And if it’s true, why’d you look again?
CHORUS:
If you let it out maybe you'll find out what it's all about
It's the only thing that can make you swing when you're down and out
It's not out of line, boy you gonna be fine, we can take all night
If you let it out maybe you'll find out what it's all about
BRIDGE 1:
When the cold winds blow
You search again through your phone
At a number you dialed
The night you gave up the untamed and wild
CHORUS:
If you let it out maybe you'll find out what it's all about
It's the only thing that can make you swing when you're down and out
It's not out of line, boy you gonna be fine, we can take all night
If you let it out maybe you'll find out what it's all about
BRIDGE 2:
The trees bare of their leaves
You travel back to the sea
It was here on the sand
You held my love in your hands
When the cold winds blow
You search again through your phone
At a number you dialed
The night you gave up the untamed and wild
OUTRO:
Gave up the untamed and wild
Gave up the untamed and wild




Gave up the untamed and wild
Gave up the untamed and wild

Overall Meaning

In Frank-N-Furter's song "Wild and Untamed Thing," the lyrics depict a complex emotional journey of a person struggling with their feelings and confronting their inner fears and desires. The verses suggest a sense of uncertainty and emotional turmoil, as the singer grapples with the authenticity of their emotions and the fear of vulnerability. The lyrics touch upon themes of self-doubt and hesitancy, portraying a character who may appear strong on the outside but is conflicted internally.


The chorus serves as a powerful reminder to the singer that embracing their emotions and allowing themselves to be vulnerable can lead to a deeper understanding of themselves and their situation. The encouragement to "let it out" implies a need for catharsis and emotional release, suggesting that confronting one's feelings head-on is essential for personal growth and healing. The repetitive nature of the chorus reinforces the significance of this message, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and introspection.


The bridge sections introduce elements of nostalgia and reflection, hinting at past experiences and choices that have shaped the singer's current state of mind. The imagery of cold winds and searching through a phone for a familiar number evokes a sense of longing and regret, suggesting a yearning for a lost connection or a return to a simpler, more carefree time. The references to the untamed and wild symbolize a part of the singer that may have been suppressed or abandoned, highlighting the internal struggle between conformity and individuality.


The outro brings the song full circle, repeating the phrase "gave up the untamed and wild" multiple times to emphasize the resignation or acceptance of a certain path or decision. It leaves the listener with a lingering sense of introspection and contemplation, challenging them to consider the consequences of sacrificing their true nature for the sake of conformity or perceived stability. Overall, "Wild and Untamed Thing" is a poignant exploration of inner turmoil, emotional vulnerability, and the search for authenticity in a world that often demands conformity.

I always thought Riff's entrance was the best part of this.

Antti Nissinen

It was. It really was.

Adrianna Welch

Agreed, I don't why but Tim's face in this year fills me with pity, but of course that's besides the point, the point is Richard is fabulous

Laureana Bogado

Dodge Morningstar

Because it is the best part. Even though, it's all over.

Robert Plattner

@darkashtar Wasn’t that melody heard earlier in the film? It sounds familiar, but I can’t place from where.

@SavageSnakeGaming probably because he was innocent in all of this. He was alive like 10 hours.

Adrianna Welch

It always fills me with pity, mostly because I like FranknFurter: seem strange according to social standards, like musical theatre, and will kick ass if needed, so I suppose when he dies apart of me feels sad

Sparky_Le_Furry

I love him more when he killed Eddie lol
