Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tic tic toc, the time bomb clock
Ticks grinning ear to ear here baby
Tic Tic Toc, the time bomb clock
ticks counting down...
tic, tic stop!

You know i speak in riddles,
And i'm ploting to destroy
Villian as i always was
Crazy is as crazy does

My sanity's in shot supply
Mad as a hatter, hey surprise!
T-T-T-Ticking bomb on the inside
Livin' with the villain pacing in my mind

I'm blowing up the mystery
And all the pretty things you see
Light flame to fuse
And Sparks will fly
You said goodnight
Now say goodbye

You know i speak in riddles,
And i'm ploting to destroy
Villian as i always was
Crazy is as crazy does

My sanity's in shot supply
Mad as a hatter, hey surprise!
T-T-T-Ticking bomb on the inside
Livin' with the villain pacing in my mind

I only want to hurt you
And what i want i get
I only want to hurt you
And what i want i...

I only want to hurt you,
And what i want i get
I'm aiming to continue
So consider me a threat

Darkness consumes the inside
I illuminate the night
I'm bringing chaos to the empire
Wild fire burning bright

You know i speak in riddles,
And i'm ploting to destroy
Villian as i always was
Crazy is as crazy does

My sanity's in shot supply
Mad as a hatter, hey surprise!




T-T-T-Ticking bomb on the inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Wild Fire's song "Villain" depict a character that speaks in riddles and is plotting to destroy. The ticking time bomb acts as a metaphor for the character's unstable and unpredictable personality. The lyrics suggest that the character is a villain and always has been, with a very limited supply of sanity. The chorus repeats the idea of the ticking bomb on the inside, representing the internal battles the character is facing. The character seems to enjoy causing chaos and destruction, indicated by the lines "I'm blowing up the mystery and all the pretty things you see."


The repeated line "You know I speak in riddles" suggests that the character may not want to be understood or is speaking in code. They mention aiming to continue hurting the person they are addressing in the song, emphasizing their malevolent intentions. Ultimately, the character claims to be a threat and brings "chaos to the empire" while "Wild fire [is] burning bright." The symbolism of the wild fire suggests a passionate and uncontrollable force, which matches the image of the character presented in the song.

This is a comment I made on an animatic of this song.

This got me thinking about what dnd class Batman’s rouges would be. I think that these are the classes they would be

Riddle and mr freeze would be wizards, for the riddler it’s because he’s smart, and mr freeze gained his ice theme because he experienced something that caused his theming
Poison ivy as a Druid, which I think is self-explanatory
The ventriloquist would be a warlock with Scarface as his patron
Firefly would also be a wizard with a fire based spell set
This one may be a stretch, but scarecrow as a rouge because a lot of the time rouges are dark and edgy kinda like scarecrow
Killer croc would be a barbarian because croc rages a lot and he’s definitely a powerful fighter
Joker really depends on what iteration like for example the one from the Batman 2004 I would say either fighter or monk, but for simplicity let’s just say he’s a bard
Zasaz was difficult but I’m gonna say rouge because he’s a murderer and uses knives a lot
Ras al goul would be a fighter
Bane Is actually a three way split between barbarian monk and fighter
Hush would be a rouge because I couldn’t think of anything else and I just think it suits him
Dead shot would be a rouge in the assassin sub class
Hugo strange would be a wizard for the same reason riddler is a wizard

I know I left out a lot of the villains on the list, this is because I can’t think of any for them, but feel free to either change the classes of some to be more fitting or give classes to the ones I missed in the comments, and they can be multi classed or be in sub classes

The fact that this song is a shoutout to all of batman's villains makes it 100x better.

@justignoreme4330

TheKaein I agree!

@madzone1098

@screamingoverthesoundsxx7434

TheKaein

@igorkarsanov2374

Ecxept for Kiteman!

@Sub-Atomic

Not all of them... I didn't see any of Mr.Freeze, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, etc. Just some of the most famous ones.

the scariest villains are not the crazy ones.
it's the ones who are perfectly sane that truly terrify me.

@thomasgiles92

Their all relatively insane except for a select few
Those exceptions are bane, mad hatter, cat woman, Hugo strange, penguin, and a few other lesser known

@williamdunhan341

'Tis true. It's the quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

@TheOcculticUnicorn

@@thomasgiles92 Don't forget Jonathan Crane.
The psychologists in the comic couldn't find any mental diseases or insanity symptons.
