Wild Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm really not here to make you smile
I just wanna do,just what that I want to
Without fools at my side
But I had learned a lesson
You can't stop running forward
Doesn't matter where you came from
(Wild Child) Wild Child
I have anger in my eyes
(Wild Child) Wild Child
No one will disturb my life
(Wild Child) Wild Child
I'll not give you one more try
(Wild Child) Wild Child
And I'll keep on running wild
I am about to pull that trigger
I am about to make you burn
Cause I don't care,
And I have nothing to lose
With all the fools on my way
Chorus (1x)
Running wild, running wild
Running wild
"There are certain things
About life you gotta know
People will step on you
People will hurt you
And If you don't believe yourself,
Nothing is gonna happen"
Chorus (1x)
Running wild, running wild
Running wild, running wild
The lyrics to Wild Child's self-titled song, Wild Child, are a declaration of independence and a rejection of societal rules and expectations. The artist asserts that they are not concerned with pleasing others, but instead want the freedom to pursue their desires without interference. The line "I just wanna do, just what that I want to" encapsulates this sentiment and suggests that the artist is motivated by personal fulfillment rather than external validation. The chorus, repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizes the artist's determination to live life on their own terms and resist any attempts to control or limit them.
The second verse of the song takes a more aggressive turn, with the artist expressing a willingness to use violence against those they perceive as obstacles or threats. The phrase "I am about to pull that trigger / I am about to make you burn" conjures up images of retribution and revenge, and reinforces the message that the artist is not to be trifled with. However, this aggression is not random or baseless; rather, it is driven by a sense of self-assurance and a refusal to be victimized. As the spoken-word interlude asserts, "If you don't believe yourself, / Nothing is gonna happen". The artist's wildness is therefore grounded in a strong sense of self-confidence and a refusal to be cowed by external pressures or opinions.

I really don't follow the rules
I don't conform to societal norms and regulations
I'm really not here to make you smile
My purpose is not to appease or entertain others
I just wanna do,just what that I want to
I want to act according to my own desires
Without fools at my side
I don't want any companions that might lead me astray
But I had learned a lesson
I gained knowledge from a past experience
You can't stop running forward
Keep pushing forward, you can't let anything hold you back
Doesn't matter where you came from
Your background doesn't define you
Or what the fuck is said about you
Don't let others' perceptions or rumors dictate your actions
(Wild Child) Wild Child
I embrace the wild, untamed part of myself
I have anger in my eyes
I'm not afraid to express my emotions
No one will disturb my life
I won't let anyone bother or interrupt me
I'll not give you one more try
I won't give anyone another chance to wrong me
And I'll keep on running wild
I'll continue to pursue my own path, without restraint
I am about to pull that trigger
I'm on the brink of taking action or making a decision
I am about to make you burn
I'm going to make someone suffer the consequences of their actions
Cause I don't care,
I'm indifferent to others' opinions or feelings
And I have nothing to lose
I'm willing to take risks, or I have already lost everything
With all the fools on my way
I'll proceed despite any obstacles or people who might hold me back
There are certain things
There are specific truths
About life you gotta know
Everyone must learn about these realities eventually
People will step on you
Some will take advantage of you or treat you unfairly
People will hurt you
Others may cause you emotional pain
And If you don't believe yourself,
If you lack self-confidence
Nothing is gonna happen
You won't achieve anything significant without self-belief
Running wild, running wild
Embrace the freedom of living life without restriction
Running wild, running wild
Continue to break free from societal constraints
Running wild, running wild
Live life on your own terms, without fear or hesitation

Lyrics:
I'm just a stranger
With a twisted smile and I'm wondering, ah
Your heart is in danger
Come close now, let me tell you a lie
Wild child
You got me running through the turnstile
Baby, come with and I'll make it worthwhile
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
You are a sweet dream
With a tender heart and beautiful smile
But things aren't what they seem
So I'll let you go and dream for a while
Wild child
You got me coming outta exile
Baby-girl you know I'm liking your style
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
I just wanna hold you at the end of every day
Girl, I wanna please you, oh, I'm needing you to stay
The sun is gonna shine if you would just come out and play
Baby, won't you show me your wild child ways
Wild child
You got me running through the turnstile
Baby, come with and I'll make it worthwhile
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
Wild child
You got me coming outta exile
Baby-girl you know I'm liking your style
You're gonna get my love today, yeah

@Rich — AAAAAAAHHH, I love those bands, so much; though, The Black Keys are my favorite rock n’ roll band, for sure.
You might dig Corey Taylor, of Slipknot’s new album — CMFB-Sides. I’ve had it on repeat, all week.
You might dig Dead Sara — Emily Armstrong voice is amazing; one of my biggest inspirations; I use to see ‘em play, all over Hollywood.
The Menzingers are good — check out “When You Died,” on their “Rented World” album. It’s got a Bob Dylan-feel. I’m close with the ghost-writer of it, in fact.
OH!!!
DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY check out The Gaslight Anthem, as well as their lead singer’s solo work — Brian Fallon.
EASILY one of my favorite bands — their album ‘Get Hurt,’ is one of my top favorites; though, everything they do is freakin’ great.
Oh, lastly.. Royal Blood is great, also. A duo, along the lines of Black Pistol, The Blue Stones, etc. — they even got a bit of an electronic feel, in their lost recent album.
I think you’ll really dig ‘em.
Warmest regards and happy listening!
