Wild Horses
Unbridled Longing: The Poetic Journey of Wild Horses
Lyrics
Childhood living is easy to do
Reflecting on an easy childhood
The things that you wanted I bought them for you
Providing desired things to a person
Graceless lady you know who I am
Describing someone as lacking grace
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Expressing an unwillingness to let go of the person
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Using the metaphor of "wild horses" to emphasize determination
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Reiterating the determination and commitment
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Observing someone enduring pain
Now you've decided just to show me the same
Noticing a decision to reciprocate pain
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Rejecting dramatic exits or scripted lines in response
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Claiming resistance to bitterness or unkindness
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Reaffirming the unyielding determination symbolized by wild horses
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Emphasizing the strength of resolve with repetition
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Acknowledging a broken faith and the need for tears
Let's do some living after we die
Suggesting the importance of living fully after facing challenges
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Reiterating the indomitable spirit represented by wild horses
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Reaffirming the determination with repetition
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
Anticipating a future where challenges are overcome
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
Repeating the expectation of triumph over challenges
