Wild Child
Henrik Berggren Lyrics

Life was great when I grew up
The singer had a happy childhood.

Everyone around me seemed stuck
The singer's community was uninspired and stagnant.

Like all their dreams had broke on them
Those around the singer had lost hope and ambition.

And opportunities all closed on them
The people around the artist felt like they had no chances to succeed.

But this couldn't be what life was meant to be
The artist didn't believe that life should be bleak and unfulfilling.

I couldn't let it suffocate me
The singer refused to let their environment limit their potential.

I'm a wild child
The singer considers themselves to be adventurous, impulsive, and free-spirited.

I fell in love with the wild fire
The artist is fascinated by danger, excitement, and unpredictability.

To live fast and to die young
The artist is willing to take risks and embrace intensity, even if it may lead to a shorter life.

To break away, halleluja!
The artist wants to escape the constraints of conventional life and pursue their own path vigorously.

Wham bam boom, run right through ya
The singer is charging ahead at full speed, unafraid of obstacles or setbacks.

I took the only way out I knew
The artist resorted to reckless behavior as a means of escape.

I got doped up and away I flew
The singer used drugs to amplify their sense of exhilaration.

I hit the streets and I hit the juice
The singer embraced a lifestyle of partying and excess.

I rock 'n' rolled and let all hell break loose
The singer pursued a lifestyle of rebellion and excess, regardless of consequences.

I didn't care if I choked and died
The artist had a disregard for their own safety and well-being.

At least I would know I had felt alive
The artist values experiences and sensations above security or comfort.

All of these stories they end the same
The singer recognizes that many people who live recklessly face a similar fate.

You wreck your chances and you're left with shame
Living recklessly can lead to missed opportunities and feelings of guilt or disappointment.

Sometimes I feel I'm just a big mistake
The artist questions their own choices and self-worth.

And now I'm worse often, what I tried to escape
The artist may have worsened their situation by engaging in self-destructive behavior.

But when the search of action come
Despite the risks and consequences, the artist still craves excitement and stimulation.

I can't help myself, I love nothing else
The singer's love for the rush of life is irresistible and overpowering.

Labaruba barap boom boom
This chorus does not have significant meaning beyond being a repeated refrain.
