L'enfant Sauvage Lyrics
Sorrow
I've been trying to match
It doesn't work
I'm trying
I don't know
the aberration of this world
I try to deal with
Its killed a part of me that was raging
The pain is gone
But denial runaway from institutions
I owe my self life
There's no way I will risk all this pressure and anger flowing through me
There is light in this world I fight for
The reason you won't leave this cage
Betray your child
The desire that you once had to reveal yourself
Forgot to create your own life
Anger
Lies
Denial
This righteous anger
Boiling inside of us won't last forever
Don't fear to let it out
Branches have grown through
The wolf is your master
The sky is all over me
I ran on time
I've been trying to match
It doesn't work
I'm trying
I don't know
the aberration of this world
I try to deal with
Its killed a part of me that was raging
The pain is gone
But denial runaway from institutions
I owe my self life
There is light in this world I fight for
The reason you won't leave this cage
Betray your child
The desire that you once had to reveal yourself
Forgot to create your own life
Lies
Denial
Boiling inside of us won't last forever
Don't fear to let it out
Branches have grown through
The wolf is your master

The first stanza describes the development of the author from an adapted member of society to a wild child (=l'enfant sauvage) which despises institutions but lives a more authentic life in accordance with his inner values. The second stanza talks about a person that failed to free himself and thus remains caught up in a cage - a metaphor for a controlled, contained existence. The last stanza addresses the listener and asks him to use his anger as long as there is time.
