Resurrection of the Wild
Windir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every move that we make are for our own sake
You see yourself in the eye of others,
Why the hell do you bother?

You are the civil man dying for a Promised Land
I live in the wilderness to avoid human emptiness

Firstborn in the hall of the mountain
Wandering through the endless woods
Surviving on weaker creatures
This solitary ambience feels so good

With love for myself I have no need for pride
I avoid human contact I live my own life
Your aggressive and selfish fright,
Keep you awake every night

You hide in the shadows from the past
But the past resurrects and makes the pain last
Wounds from times best forgotton
Are reopening with a smell so rotten

In the hours of despair
When wounds open and grief overwhelms
You close your eyes and cherish moments
From a simple yet so perfect time
When anxiety didn't haunt your mind

A variety og choices
Multiplicity of stupidity
Either path chosen
Lead in the same direction




The abyss seem unavoidable
For the man without affections

Overall Meaning

Windir's song "Resurrection of the Wild" is an exploration of the dichotomy between living a solitary life in nature versus conforming to societal expectations. The lyrics argue that living on one's own terms, away from civilization, is a more fulfilling existence than living for the sake of others. The song opens with the line "Every move that we make are for our own sake," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer rejects the idea of living for others and questions why people bother trying to impress others.


The singer then contrasts their life with that of "civilized" people, who are "dying for a Promised Land." Here, the Promised Land could represent societal success or status. The singer, on the other hand, takes pleasure in living in the wilderness, away from human emptiness. The lyrics suggest that living in nature is the key to avoiding the alienation of human society. The singer finds love for themselves in this wild and self-sufficient existence, which frees them from the shackles of pride and human contact. In the end, the song suggests that those who cling to pride and fearful selfishness are doomed to live in the shadows of their past, while those who embrace the solitude and simplicity of nature can find a form of resurrection.
