about

A compassionate plea to the wild part of myself I tend to keep hidden, to whom I refer as a kind of stranger and subsequently develop a strong bond.

lyrics

Wild thing
Do you know where the meat is?
Can you see in colors?
Like you, there are no others
Ooh but you’re surrounding
How is it you found me?
Will you fight me to the death?
Oh wild thing

Wild thing
I know where the heat is
Somewhere here between us
Could it get more obvious?
Cause it’s burning down around us
The more that we ignore it
So will you hold me to your fire, wild thing?

Wild thing
You’re all desire and instinct
You see the storm that’s coming now?
She doesn’t care about what you want
and we all need somewhere to run
to remember we’re not alone
You’ll never be less wild to anyone

So, will you climb into my shelter,
and hold me to your fire,
Or will you fight me to the death now,
wild thing?
