WILD
The Lookouts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never did I never did I never did
Ever like you
I never did I never did I never did
Want to fall in love with you
I never did I never did I never did
Like your hairstyle
I never did I never did I never did
Want to fall in love with you
But…
Can’t relate
Big mistake
It’s too late
And I’m wild about you
Wild wild wild wild wild wild wild




Rrowrr!
I’m wild about you

Overall Meaning

The Lookouts' song "Wild" is a catchy and upbeat tune that masks some pretty straightforward lyrics about falling in love. The first few lines of the song repeat the phrase "I never did" several times, which immediately raises some red flags. The vocalist then goes on to list a few things that they didn't like or weren't into about their love interest - their hairstyle, for example. This seems to suggest that they were actively avoiding any kind of romantic attachment.


However, the chorus of the song takes a sharp turn, and suddenly the vocalist is proclaiming that they are "wild about you." This sudden shift in attitude is mirrored in the lyrics of the bridge, where the vocalist sings, "Can't relate / Big mistake / It's too late." This implies that they have had some kind of realization or epiphany about their true feelings for their love interest.


Overall, "Wild" is a fun and lighthearted song that explores the themes of love and attraction in a unique way. It's clear from the lyrics that the singer of the song has been grappling with their emotions for a while, but ultimately they can't deny their feelings any longer.
