Wild Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll try until I die
"Give up" it's not of mine
Don't hear what you dislike
Mom tell me I'm headstrong
But I always carry on
I'm not the kind of liar
Uncertainty, don't follow me
You're not stronger than me
Inconsistency, just give me a breathe
I take my time
And the answer I'll find
(Just to get where I want to)
I just don't mind
At least I'll try
(What a dream that I go through)
Your life is always fine
You should just give a try
Go to something you like
And fight until you die
Passion, strength and heart
You gotta feel inside
It's really like a war
Without killing or dying
Uncertainty, don't follow me
You're not stronger than me
Inconsistency, just give me a breathe
Chorus
It's not changing
But it's still getting better
I'm not lost about it
You made a mistake
But I've just got the way
(Can't you see, I don't care)
Chorus
I take my time
And the answer I'll find
(Just to get where I want to)
I just don't mind
At least I'll try
That's a dream that came true
The lyrics of Wild Child's "Take My Time" speak to the idea of perseverance in the face of criticism and doubt. The singer insists that they will take their time and continue striving towards their goals, no matter what others may say or think. This theme is emphasized through the use of words like "passion," "strength," and "heart," as well as the repeated chorus of "I take my time, and the answer I'll find."
The verses expand further on the idea of staying true to oneself and refusing to be swayed by external pressures. The singer acknowledges that they may be seen as "headstrong" or stubborn, but they insist that they are not liars and that they will continue to live or die by their own decisions.
The bridge of the song provides an interesting twist, introducing the idea of uncertainty and inconsistency. The singer warns against blindly following them, stating that they themselves are the only ones who can ultimately decide their own path. This adds another layer to the overall message of the song, showcasing a sense of personal responsibility and independence.
