In the Wild Now
Royal Deluxe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t see the danger
Don't feel the pain
Walk on the water
Run through the flames

If you′re not the hunter
You'll become the prey
'Cause nothing is sacred
And no one is safe

We′re in the wild now
We′re in the wild
We're in the wild
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
We′re in the wild

Running for cover
Ain't got a prayer
Scream at the top of your lungs
But no one can hear

Nothing you imagined
More than you could dare
You know what is coming
′Cause you feel it in the air

Nothing here is sacred
No one's ever safe

We′re in the wild now
We're in the wild
We're in the wild
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
We′re in the wild

How far can darkness drag us in?
We′ll have to fight to feel again
Whoever thought it'd be like this, this
We′re on the outside looking in

We're in the wild now
We′re in the wild now
We're in the wild
We′re in the wild




Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
We're in the wild

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Royal Deluxe's In the Wild Now convey the message that the world we live in is a dangerous and unpredictable place where one can never be entirely safe or secure. The first verse suggests that one must be vigilant and always aware of the danger that surrounds them, as ignorance could lead to them becoming prey. The chorus emphasizes the idea that we are all living in the wild now, with nowhere to hide or run when danger strikes. The second verse continues the theme of danger and paints a bleak picture of a world where one's screams can go unheard and where one's worst fears could come true at any moment.


Overall, the song seems to be a warning to the listener to always be alert and prepared for the worst, as life can be unpredictable and dangerous. It encourages self-reliance, as in such a world, one can only rely on oneself to survive.
