Running Wild
Twilight Guardians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lay on bloody floor

Just blood and nothing more

Still smelling the death in the air

The ghost from yesterday
Won't let you of this pain
Still smelling the death in your stare

You're gambling with life
You'll loose every time
When you're gambling with life

That thin line crossed last time
You relieved the ghost from other time
That thin line crossed last time
And now the creatures running wild

Your brothers on altar of death
The blade is painted with red
And nobody hears your call
You fight with your broken mind




Maybe you should do it another time
Just remember that you might fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Twilight Guardians' song "Running Wild" portray a dark and intense scene of someone who is dealing with the aftermath of a violent encounter. The opening lines describe a bloody floor and the sense of death lingering in the air. The singer seems to be haunted by their past experiences, unable to escape the pain of what has happened to them. The line "you're gambling with life, you'll lose every time" suggests that the character knows they are taking a dangerous risk, but cannot help themselves.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the notion of crossing a thin line, which leads to the unleashing of dangerous creatures that are running wild. This could be a metaphor for the character's mental state, as the trauma they have experienced has pushed them over the edge. The lyrics suggest that the singer is witnessing the deaths of their comrades, and is struggling with their own sense of brokenness.


Overall, "Running Wild" is a powerful and emotive portrayal of the psychological effects of warfare and violence, and the long-term trauma that it can cause.
