1.) WILDES, real name Ella Wal… Read Full Bio ↴There are several bands called Wildes
1.) WILDES, real name Ella Walker, is a British multi-instrumentalist & singer-songwriter from London.
Born to an Irish mother and British father her music lends itself to her mixed heritage upbringing. An undeniable passion for creating vast soundscapes, Ella's music is both dramatic and beautiful, reflective of her childhood summers spent running wild in the Irish countryside and echoes the expansive sound like that of Florence and The Machine or The XX. After putting up her first song 'Bare', WILDES garnered overwhelming support online, shooting to #6 in the Spotify global viral chart and subsequently grabbing the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ Phil Taggart and Grammy Award-winning producer Brian Burton (Danger Mouse), landing her a publishing deal. The song has since featured on multiple soundtracks and generated millions of streams worldwide. Since then WILDES has been refining her sound, working closely with award-winning producer Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice, Manchester Orchestra, The Killers), fusing her indie-folk songwriting with bold cinematic soundscapes.
2.) Wildes is a musical project of Jana Pantha and Jenny Tulipa from Munich, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland.
They see themselves as an electronic disco-pop-punk project. The two musicians sing abstract lyrics in German - with a certain poetry, and at times irony. Spoken word passages and catchy sung vocals merge into melodies that once heard continue to sound for quite a while. A minimalist electro sound in combo with simple synth waves and the always driving drum computer make the works cool, playful and provocative. The rocking barré changes of the electronic rhythm guitar accompany the pieces. The distortion is brought by the banging tube screamer and the lead guitar sounds break the raw repetition.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the horizon, now I feel it
And I'm alive but am I breathing?
Fill my lungs so I can scream it
When I cried on the floor on a Saturday
Oh I knew there was more just waiting for me
I think I see it
Right out where the sun will set
Maybe I'm dreaming?
I dream when I'm fine with the signs of the sun
Signs in the sky
I want to see how this road lies
I'll rage on, brave and kind to my rivals
And maybe I love the way I can fall on my feet
Keeping my own kind of bible
Maybe I love how I feel in the wind, I'm the breeze
So light
I'm light
I'm light
I'm light
I'm light
Can you feel it, close to you?
(Can you feel it?)
(Can you feel it?)
(Can you feel it?)
(Can you feel it?)
Let it in (oh let it in)
I dare you
Can you feel it?
(Can you feel it?)
Can you feel it?
(Can you feel it?)
(Close to you)
And maybe I love the way I can fall on my feet
Keeping my own kind of bible
Maybe I love how I feel in the wind, I'm the breeze
So light
I'm light
I'm light
I'm light
I'm light

The second stanza continues with this imagery of hope and dreams, as the singer sees something out where the sun will set. Even though she’s not sure if she’s dreaming, she’s fine with the signs of the sun and wants to see where this road leads. The final lines of each stanza show the singer’s determination to persevere and overcome her obstacles, even if it means being brave and kind to her rivals.
The chorus emphasizes the singer’s feeling of lightness and her ability to bounce back from difficulties. She describes herself as “light” and encourages the listener to feel the same way. The repetition of “I’m light” throughout the chorus reinforces her belief in her own resilience and positivity.

I think I see it
I have an idea of what I want to achieve in my life
On the horizon, now I feel it
I sense that my goal is getting closer
And I'm alive but am I breathing?
I'm wondering if I'm really living or just existing
Fill my lungs so I can scream it
I need to speak out loud about my aspirations
When I cried on the floor on a Saturday
I faced struggles and felt defeated in the past
Oh I knew there was more just waiting for me
But I never lost hope that I can achieve greater things
Right out where the sun will set
I believe my success is just about to be realized
Maybe I'm dreaming?
I'm not sure whether this is real or just an illusion
I dream when I'm fine with the signs of the sun
When everything seems to be going well, I envision even greater accomplishments
Signs in the sky
I look for indications or inspiration from the universe
I want to see how this road lies
I'm eager to explore what's ahead, regardless of obstacles
I'll rage on, brave and kind to my rivals
I'll keep pushing forward, while showing respect and compassion to others
And maybe I love the way I can fall on my feet
I appreciate my ability to overcome adversity and stand back up
Keeping my own kind of bible
I have my own set of beliefs that guide me
Maybe I love how I feel in the wind, I'm the breeze
I enjoy the freedom and lightness that comes with pursuing my goals
So light
I feel unburdened, free, and agile
Can you feel it, close to you?
Are you aware of the opportunities that are around you?
Let it in (oh let it in)
Don't be afraid to embrace your potential
I dare you
Take a risk and strive for greatness
I'm light
I feel confident and free
I'm light
I'm pursuing my dreams with zeal
I'm light
I'm determined to succeed, despite challenges
I'm light
My mind, heart, and soul are focused on my aspirations
