Wild Horses
Chasing Wild Horses of Desire
Lyrics
Through the rails I spied
Observing through a barrier or obstacle, catching sight of someone's ponytail.
Your ponytail. I tried
Attempting to attract attention or connect with the person by offering sugar cubes.
With sugar cubes - And they're O.K.
The sugar cubes are acceptable but not effective in forming a connection.
But I don't think
Doubtful of successfully establishing a relationship using the current approach.
I'll catch you that way
Expressing skepticism about the likelihood of gaining attention or affection this way.
I hate myself 'cause you're so cool
Feeling self-loathing because the person being observed is admired for being impressive.
With your mocking eyes
Describing the admired person's scornful or teasing gaze.
"Won't you look at the old fool"
Quoting the disdainful perspective of the admired person towards the observer.
Wild horses - I want to have
Expressing a strong desire to possess or have a relationship with wild horses, using them as a metaphor for the desired relationship or freedom.
Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to
-Look at you - Unflawed.
Admiring the perfection or flawlessness of the person being observed.
Now look at me - Plain overawed
Comparing oneself unfavorably to the admired person, feeling overwhelmed by their presence.
Grace and looks take no credit for
Suggesting that the person's grace and appearance are natural qualities that don't need recognition.
Girl you're young
Highlighting the youthfulness of the admired person as a significant factor in their attractiveness.
And they're part of the score
Implying that youthfulness is a part of what makes the person appealing.
Like the chemicals at war in me
Comparing inner emotions to conflicting chemical reactions, causing internal turmoil.
'Til I'm a wolf with an eye for the ponies
Metaphorically depicting oneself as a wolf drawn to the observed person, similar to a pony.
Wild horses - I want to have
Repeated desire or longing to possess wild horses as a symbol for the desired relationship.
Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to
-I want extra time to play,
Desire for more time spent together, particularly in a relaxed setting like hay-filled afternoons.
Afternoons in the hay
Describing a desired scenario for spending time with the admired person.
It's a sorry way for a man to feel
Feeling regretful or pitiful for experiencing strong emotions as a grown man.
But sentimental is part of the deal
Emphasizing that sentimentality is a component of the emotional involvement or attachment.
I hate myself because it shows how
Feeling self-hatred for revealing vulnerability and being foolishly infatuated with the admired person.
I'm a fool for your rodeo
Portraying oneself as foolishly captivated by the admired person's performance or persona.
Wild horses - I want to have
Repeated desire or longing to possess wild horses, representing the desire for a relationship.
Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses
-Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to have
-Wild horses - I want to have you
Expressing the intense desire to possess or have the admired person.
