Wild Horses
The Dark Tenor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They don't, they don't know you.
They don't care about the rain you're going through.
No one, no one sees you.
No one hears you screaming out your silent truth.
Don't feel chanceless!
Have you been afraid to fall apart from who, who you are?
You don't have to feel like you are caught alone in the dark.
You should be like wild horses, wild horses, oh oh.
Wild horses, wild horses - just run away from here.
Break it, you gotta break it.
Break the wall you built around your heart so well.
Trust it, you gotta trust it.
Trust the strength you hold so deep inside yourself.
Don't feel hopeless!
Have you been afraid to fall apart from who, who you are?
You don't have to feel like you are caught alone in the dark.
You should be like wild horses, wild horses, oh oh.
Wild horses, wild horses - just run away from here.
Don't feel chanceless!
... from who, who you are?
You don't have to feel like you are caught alone in the dark.
You should be like wild horses, wild horses, oh oh.
Wild horses, wild horses - just run away from here.




You should be like wild horses, wild horses, oh oh.
Wild horses, wild horses - just run away from here.

The line "no one hears you screaming out your silent truth" is particularly poignant, highlighting the experience of feeling invisible and powerless in a world that may not value or understand one's perspective. The song encourages listeners to trust their own strength and courage to break free from the limitations imposed upon them by society and embrace their unique identity.

I discovered you on youtube and started listening and sending to my students who are from 11 to 16 years old in the public school in the city of Campinas here in the state of São Paulo in Brazil.
