Wild and Untamed Thing
Gametime Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a wild and untamed thing
I'm a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sound rock on
We're gonna shake it til the life has gone
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain.

We are wild and untamed things
We're a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sound rock on
We're gonna shake it til the life has gone
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain.

Frankenfurter it's all over
Your mission is a failure, your lifestyle's too extreme

I'm your new commander, you now are my prisoner
We return to Transylvania, prepare the transit beam...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gametime's song "Wild and Untamed Thing" describe a sense of empowerment and liberation that comes from indulging in wild and uninhibited behavior. The singer proclaims themselves to be a "wild and untamed thing," comparing themselves to a bee with a deadly sting. They suggest that when one experiences the thrill of such behavior, their mind will "ping" and their heart will "sing." The party atmosphere is encouraged to continue, with the aim of "shaking it" until the end comes.

The chorus is repeated, with the addition of the collective "We are wild and untamed things." The statement suggests that the singer is not alone in their hedonistic behavior, and this collective action brings even more power and energy to the scene. The singer finds solace in the rose-tinted world that this liberation creates.

The final stanza sees the introduction of "Frankenfurter," a character from the musical "The Rocky Horror Show," who acts as the antagonist. The singer proclaims themselves to be the new commander, however, and takes control of the situation, returning to the home of the Transylvanians. The lyrics suggest that this wild and untamed behavior may lead to confrontation or opposition, but ultimately it is liberating and empowering.
