Run Wild.
for King Country Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if the doors were to be opened would you leave or would you stay
The comfort of your misery you cherish dearly, you cherish dearly
And you haven't started dreaming 'cause you're still fast asleep, you're fast asleep
Don't you want to
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
You're a lion full of power who forgot how to roar
You're an eagle full of beauty but you can't seem to soar
Will you return to the garden where we were first made whole
Will you turn to the one who can liberate your soul
Don't you want to
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
Run wild, live free
Love strong
To every soul locked in a cage
In the prison of your past mistakes
No, there's no time left to waste
Yeah, you can make your great escape
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to
Run, Forrest, all depends what direction
Some people run from fear, some from their own reflection
Some people run their mouth, some people run their house
Ruling with the heart of a tyrant
Some people run their block, bust shot with a 4-4-5 and
That's the environment, how we were raised
Living like lions but trapped in a cage
Back to Imago Dei with the blood of a king but the heart of a slave
Don't you wanna run
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
Run wild, live free
Love strong
To every soul locked in a cage
In the prison of your past mistakes
No, there's no time left to waste
Yeah, you can make your great escape
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
If your soul's locked in a cage
You can make a great escape
We're made to run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me

Line by Line Meaning
Are the walls to lock you in or to keep others away
Are you imprisoning yourself or isolating yourself from the world
And if the doors were to be opened would you leave or would you stay
If an opportunity presents itself, will you take it or continue living in your current situation
The comfort of your misery you cherish dearly, you cherish dearly
You are so used to living in pain and misery that it has become a source of comfort for you
And you haven't started dreaming 'cause you're still fast asleep, you're fast asleep
You are unable to imagine a better life for yourself because you are emotionally numb and disconnected from reality
You're a lion full of power who forgot how to roar
You have lost your confidence and strength, and are no longer able to assert yourself
You're an eagle full of beauty but you can't seem to soar
You have many talents and skills, but are unable to reach your full potential
Will you return to the garden where we were first made whole
Will you go back to the place where you were once happy and fulfilled
Will you turn to the one who can liberate your soul
Will you seek help and guidance from someone who can help you break free from your emotional chains
To every soul locked in a cage
This message is for anyone who feels trapped and stuck in their current situation
In the prison of your past mistakes

No, there's no time left to waste
You need to take action now, because time is running out

Love strong, you and me
Love yourself and those around you with all your heart
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
Human beings are born to live freely and pursue their dreams
Run, Forrest, all depends what direction
The direction you take in life is up to you
Some people run from fear, some from their own reflection
People have different reasons for running away from their problems
Some people run their mouth, some people run their house
People express their emotions in different ways
Ruling with the heart of a tyrant
Some people are in control of their lives, but at the expense of others
Some people run their block, bust shot with a 4-4-5 and
Some people use violence as a way to assert their power and control
That's the environment, how we were raised
Our upbringing and environment can have a significant impact on the way we see the world and our place in it
Living like lions but trapped in a cage
We have the potential to live boldly and fearlessly, but may be limited by our circumstances
Back to Imago Dei with the blood of a king but the heart of a slave
Despite our divine heritage, we may be held back by our own limiting beliefs
If your soul's locked in a cage
If you feel trapped in your current situation
You can make a great escape
You have the power to break free and pursue your dreams
We're made to run wild, live free
We were born to live our lives to the fullest and pursue our passions
