The Wild
Discovering the Untamed Essence: The Deeper Meaning of 'The Wild'
Lyrics
We saw birth and death
We witnessed the beginning and end of life
Can't we be still
Can't we experience a moment of stillness
What makes you kind
What defines your nature
From where comes your sparkling mind
Where does your brilliant mind originate
Was it under the earth?
Did it emerge from beneath the ground
Tied up in a knot
Tangled and complex, like a knot
Which I forgot you were ever there
I forgot that you existed
Do not be afraid
Do not succumb to fear
Do not be afraid
Reiteration: Do not succumb to fear
What's that I see?
What do I perceive?
I think it's the wild
I believe it's the untamed, the wild
Puts the fear of God in me
Evokes a profound sense of fear or awe
And was there a grudge
Is there a lingering resentment or animosity
Up from the dust
Emerging from the dust, symbolic of origins
Inconceivable lie
An unimaginable falsehood
What's that I see?
What do I perceive again?
I think it's the wild
It appears to be the wild once more
Puts the fear of God in me
Instills a deep sense of fear or reverence
