Wilderness
Nick Jonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta have it
The feeling you give me is savage
But why do we all gotta make it complicated
A modest overrated

Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh.
We can rob it,
With the moon and the stars up above us
Like a million of years, before we ever got together
A prehistoric treasure

Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh, yeah

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this
Feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back
Take it back to the wilderness, wilderness

Let's take it back,
Let's take it back
(Take it back)

Before the fire
We discovered desire
There's no use talking just let me hear you breathing
Or I'll overheat it, can we take it?
Can we take it back to basics.
Oh, yeah

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this
Feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back
Take it back to the wilderness, wilderness

Let's take it back
Let's take it back

I'll take it back
Let's take it back
I'll take it back (take it back)
(Take it back)
Take it back
I'll I'll take it back (take it back)
I'll take it back, it make it happen

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this
Feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back
Take it back, to the wilderness, wilderness

Let's take it back
Let's take it back
Let's take it back
Let's take it back
Let's take it back

Yeah





Take it back

Overall Meaning

"Wilderness" by Nick Jonas is a song about returning to a simpler and more primal state in a romantic relationship. The first verse speaks to the intense nature of the feelings that the two individuals share, but questions why they always have to make things so complicated. The singer suggests that they take things back to basics and rob the complexities from their relationship, returning to a natural state of being together. The second verse signifies the importance of returning to their original state and taking a journey back in time. The singer wants to venture back to the time before they came together, to ignite the primal connection that they shared but lost over time. He suggests going back to the 'Wilderness.'


In the chorus, the singer emphasizes returning to the bare necessities, naked as the day they were born. The song urges the potential lover to explore a new and exciting physical intimacy that they may not have experienced before. The lyrics suggest that they could feel as if they are discovering the excitement of intimate human interaction all over again. The instrumental sound of the song is an enjoyable melody with an upbeat tempo that carries the listeners as they experience the risky yet desirable intimacy of returning to nature.


Line by Line Meaning

Gotta have it
I need this feeling


The feeling you give me is savage
The passion between us is intense


But why do we all gotta make it complicated
Why do we make our love more difficult than it needs to be?


A modest overrated
Being less passionate is overrated


Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Can we simplify our love?


We can rob it,
Let's make our love shine


With the moon and the stars up above us
Emphasizing the vastness of our love


Like a million of years, before we ever got together
Our love is timeless


A prehistoric treasure
An ancient but valuable love


Naked as the day we were born
Let's strip away the complications and be raw


Did you know it could feel like this
The simplicity of our love is surprisingly satisfying


I'll take your body back, take it back
Together, we will go back to basics


Take it back to the wilderness, wilderness
Love doesn't have to be complicated


Before the fire
Before our love was complicated


We discovered desire
We realized our love for each other


There's no use talking just let me hear you breathing
Our love is enough, we don't need words


Or I'll overheat it, can we take it?
If we complicate it, our love will suffer


I'll take it back, it make it happen
I will simplify our love

Gotta have it, the feeling you give me
It's savage
But why do we all gotta make it complicated
A modest overrated

Can't we take it, take it back to basics

We can rob it with the moon and the stars
Up above us, like there's millions of years
Before we ever got together
A pre-historic pleasure

Can't we take it, take it back to basics

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know we could feel like this?
Feel like this

I'll take your body, I'll take it back
Take it back to the wilderness
Wilderness

Let's take it back, let's take it back

Before the fire we discover desire
There's no use talking
Just let me hear you breathing
Or I'll overheat it

Can't we take it, we take it back to basics

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know we could feel like this?
Feel like this

I'll take your body, I'll take it back
Take it back to the wilderness
Wilderness

Let's take it back, let's take it back
I'll take it back, let's take it back
I'll take it back (take it back)
Oh no, no (take it back)

I'll take it back, and naked as

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know we could feel like this?
Feel like this

I'll take your body, I'll take it back
Take it back to the wilderness
Wilderness

Let's take it back, let's take it back
Let's take it back

LYRICS:

Gotta have it
The feeling, you give me, it's savage
But why do we all gotta make it complicated
A modest overrated
Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh, we can rob it, we're the moon and the stars up above us
Like a million of years, before we ever got together
A pretty story treasure
Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh yeah
Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this? feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back, take it back to the wilderness
The wilderness
Let's take it back,
Let's take it back
Before the fire
We discovered desire
There's no use so you can just let me hear you breathing
Or I'll overheat it
Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh yeah
Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this? feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back, take it back to the wilderness
The wilderness
Let's take it back,
Let's take it back
I'll take it back
Oh no no
Take it back
Take it back
I'll take it back
Take it back
I'll take it back
We'll take it back
Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this? feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back, take it back to the wilderness
The wilderness
Let's take it back,
Let's take it back
Let's take it back

I'm Nick's fan since 2008 and when I heard the previous singles I was totally not sure about this new project, but this song kills it!
