Wilderness
Jens Kuross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so wide and free
she can't resist
why would you tame a love like this
so make in me a wilderness
Burn in me a wild fire
with heat and flame matched by desire
so burn in me a wild fire.
Raise in me a hurricane
so fierce she won't forget my name
so harsh the blows so true her aim
so raise in me a hurricane
Run through me a river
Theres peace in me, my gift to her
so as the love so small these walls
so run through me a river,
so run through me a river
so make in me a wilderness
The lyrics of Jens Kuross's song "Wilderness" call for a passionate and untamed love between two people. The opening lines, "Make in me a wilderness so wide and free she can't resist," portray a longing for a love that cannot be contained or controlled. The idea of a "wilderness" is symbolic of an untamed and uninhibited love, one that is not constrained by social norms or expectations.
The lyrics go on to describe a burning desire, a wild fire that consumes both individuals equally. The line "our hearts are true but charm is a lie" suggests that although their love is real and pure, they are aware that charm and superficial attraction can fade away. Therefore, they call out for a passionate love that is built on a deep and raw connection.
The lyrics continue to seek a love that is unforgettable and intense, with the lines "raise in me a hurricane, so fierce she won't forget my name" metaphorically representing a love that leaves a lasting impression. Finally, the lyrics call for a love that brings peace and happiness to both individuals, with the line "run through me a river, there's peace in me, my gift to her" suggesting that their love should flow freely and bring calmness to their lives.
