Wilder Side
Embracing the Wild: Carter Sampson's Journey of Freedom and Heartache
Lyrics
I’ve got a wilder side
I possess a more adventurous and unrestrained aspect of my personality
I sleep all day and stay up all night
I have a nocturnal lifestyle, staying awake during the night and sleeping during the day
Hallelujah we made it out alive
Celebrating the fact that we survived challenging situations or experiences
Cause I’ve got a wilder side
Reiterating the presence of a daring and unconventional side of myself
CHORUS
Repeated chorus emphasizing themes of solitude and a wild nature
I’m driving all night just to be alone
Driving throughout the night to find solitude
Sweet baby James singing on the radio
Listening to music by Sweet Baby James on the radio while driving
It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you
Expressing the longing for communication, having not heard from someone for a considerable time
What’s a wild girl to do
Pondering the appropriate actions for a woman with a wild and adventurous spirit
I’ve got a lonesome heart
Referring to a sense of loneliness within the heart
But you only need light when the daytime is dark
Highlighting the need for support or brightness during challenging times
I’m always putting love together to take it apart
Indicating a pattern of building and breaking down relationships
I’ve got a lonesome heart
Reiterating the presence of a lonely and perhaps troubled heart
CHORUS
Repeated chorus emphasizing themes of solitude and a wild nature
I’ve got a gypsy soul
Describing a free-spirited and nomadic aspect of the persona
I can’t stay here so I’ll go
Expressing an inability to remain in one place, suggesting a desire for constant movement
Gone with the wind and out with the old
Departing from the past and embracing change with a free-spirited attitude
I’ve got a gypsy soul
Reiterating the presence of a wanderlust-filled and untamed spirit
