Royal Teeth is a happy accident. On a whim, the New Orleans-based band started incorporating samples and electronics to its indie vibe. Though this sounds mainstream, the band catches audiences off-guard with its memorable male and female vocal hooks.
More than ever, the band has cemented its stylistic sound. Before, the lineup changed from show-to-show. Now, the six members are set, ready for royalty.

Wild
Royal Teeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me now what you say 'cause we can take anything
Just because we're growing up, it doesn't mean we've had enough
When times are hard we'll smile and say we're not afraid of anything
('Cause we feel young and wild)
I believe that I can make you scream
For me
Help me see everything we used to be
We won't forget
The lives we lived, the loves we chased
We lost the things we can't replace
(When we were young and wild)
I believe that I can make you scream
For me
The lyrics to Royal Teeth's song "Wild" are about living life to the fullest and making memories with someone special. The first verse talks about how the two individuals should create history together and that nothing is impossible for them. They should continue to be adventurous and not let growing up stop them from living their best lives. Even when times get tough, they should smile and face it together because they aren't afraid of anything. The repetition of the phrase "cause we feel young and wild" emphasizes the carefree attitude towards life that the song is promoting.
The chorus talks about the belief that the singer can make the other person feel alive by experiencing everything they used to do when they were young and wild. The lyrics mention living life to the fullest, chasing love, and not forgetting the memories they made together. This nostalgia is juxtaposed with the confidence that the singer has in their ability to make the other person scream for them. It can be interpreted as wanting to make them feel alive or to rekindle the passion they once had.
Overall, the song is an anthem for youthful living and seizing the day with someone you care about. It encourages the listener to jump into adventures headfirst and not let anything stop them. The contrast between nostalgia and the desire to create new memories creates a bittersweet feeling that is both reminiscent of the past and hopeful for the future.

2013 ano em que tirei meu primeiro PS3 , e tinha essa música no FIFA 13, marcou muito ♥️😢

I seen Royal Teeth a while ago at a Walk the Moon concert. They were the opening act and normally openers suck and are lame. They were the best opening act I have ever seen. I actually enjoyed them better then the main act. They got right down to the audience and sang with us. It was so amazing, one of my favorite concerts ever and best nights.

I got a PS Vita for Christmas and it came with Fifa 13. you better believe I spent a good chunk of my childhood years playing that game and enjoying this soundtrack. oddly enough, I think it didn't contain all of the songs (for example, no Bloc Party), but nevertheless it was great.
