The Wild
Paul Maged Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a place to hide
No controlling when it calls
But it's taking of your mind
And nobody sees the signs
The Wild is chasing after me
There's no defense won't leave me alone
And I can't kill The Wild
So we are only prey
To the wrath of our other side
The truth it comes and she goes
And no one ever knows
The Wild is chasing after me
Hot on my trail won't leave me alone
Knows what I want but what I need it's changing me
And now the choice is mine
Do I succumb to the crime?
Cuz I can't kill The Wild
And I want you to know
That it is not me
Sorry to let you go
But it won't let me breathe
The Wild, The Wild
Meditated madness extra slow
Reality you can't find
And you don't have the time
The Wild is chasing after me
There's no defense won't leave me alone
All I can see is your blood right in front of me
And you can't kill The Wild
Who are you hurting now?
Your fury's unleashed with silent disdain
You live just to rule the night
But you just lost the fight!
The Wild is chasing after me
Hot on my trail won't leave me alone
Knows what I want but what I need it's changing me
And now the choice is mine
Do I succumb to the crime?
Cuz I can't kill The Wild!
And I want you to know
That it is not me
Sorry to let you go
But it won't let me breathe
The song "The Wild" by Paul Maged is a commentary on the darker side of human nature. The lyrics suggest that everyone has a "wild" side, which can take over and cause us to do things that we would not normally do. The "Wild" is a metaphor for this inner darkness, and it is portrayed as an entity that is separate from the individual, something that they cannot control. The first verse describes how the "Wild" takes over the mind and how it is difficult to control. The second verse suggests that we are all victims of this inner darkness, and that it is something that we cannot escape from. The chorus is a plea for help, as the singer is being chased by the "Wild" and is unable to escape its grasp. The final verse suggests that the "Wild" can manifest in a number of different ways - as madness, as a distorted view of reality, or as an overwhelming desire for power. The song concludes with the singer accepting the "Wild" as a part of themselves that they cannot change or control.
Overall, "The Wild" is a powerful and insightful exploration of human nature and the struggles that we all face to control our darker impulses. It is a reminder that we are all capable of terrible things, but that we also have the power to choose how we respond to these impulses.
