Where The Wild Things
Labrinth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a face like Krugger and Jason
We made some friends that night
There was Rum, red wine, there was Jameson's
Taking no prisoners, right
Yeah, we own the sky like spaceships
We float on air
We float on air
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, yes it's gonna happen tonight
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Cinderella's turnin' up with Snow White
It's where the wild things are
It's where the wild things are
It's where my heart's gon' start
It's where the wild things are
Put your fucking glasses up
Animals, animals
Put your fucking glasses up
Look ma, I'm flying now
With the young, the rich, and the reckless
She took my hand and she lead me down
To the powder room and the necklace
You can't bring us back to earth
'Cause the poison's got us in Heaven
We float on air
Don't fuck with my heart
I'll float on air
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, yes it's gonna happen tonight
Hey, don't you know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Cinderella's turnin' up with Snow White
It's where the wild things are
It's where the wild things are
It's where my heart's gon' start
It's where the wild things are
Put your fucking glasses up
Animals, animals
Put your fucking glasses up
Hands up, people
Put your fucking glasses up
The lyrics to Labrinth's song "Where The Wild Things" describe a wild and adventurous night out, filled with drinking and partying. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's where the wild things are," which references the classic children's book by Maurice Sendak about a little boy who visits a world filled with wild and unpredictable creatures. The song encourages its listeners to live in the moment and let loose, to forget about the consequences and responsibilities of everyday life and just enjoy the party.
The opening lines of the song reference horror movie villains Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees, suggesting that the partygoers themselves are living similarly menacing and unpredictable lives. The surreal and colorful imagery of "spaceships" and fairytale characters like Cinderella and Snow White create a dreamlike atmosphere, reinforcing the idea that this party is an escape from reality. The idea of floating on air and being "so high off the ground" speaks to the euphoria of getting lost in the moment and living in the present, despite any negative consequences that may come later.

We live that Vegas life
We're living a life of partying and excess in Las Vegas
With a face like Krugger and Jason
We look intimidating and powerful, like famous movie villains
We made some friends that night
We met some new people while partying
There was Rum, red wine, there was Jameson's
We were drinking a variety of different alcoholic drinks
Taking no prisoners, right
We're not holding back, we're living without limits
Yeah, we own the sky like spaceships
We feel invincible and on top of the world
We float on air
We feel weightless and carefree
So high off the ground
We're elevated in both physical and emotional senses
Hey, don't you know
Listen up
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
The sound of excitement and anticipation
Oh, yes it's gonna happen tonight
Something amazing and memorable is going to happen tonight
Cinderella's turnin' up with Snow White
We're experiencing a magical and unexpected night
Put your fucking glasses up
Raise your glasses in a toast
Animals, animals
Referring to ourselves and others as wild animals
Look ma, I'm flying now
I feel like I'm soaring and free
With the young, the rich, and the reckless
I'm surrounded by people who are young, wealthy, and carefree
She took my hand and she lead me down
A woman led me to a private location
To the powder room and the necklace
We went to a bathroom to do drugs and/or indulge in lavish jewelry
You can't bring us back to earth
We feel so high and euphoric that we refuse to come back to reality
'Cause the poison's got us in Heaven
Our intoxication has taken us to a heavenly state of mind
Don't fuck with my heart
Don't mess with my emotions
Hands up, people
Raise your hands, everyone
