Wild Horses Lyrics

You hold me down in the best way
No quarter from these chains that I've
Slipped on my heart for a feeling
Why can't I let my demons out?

Keep screaming into the pillow
Cause your taste still gets me stupid high
Oh glory, I'm a believer
Oh glory, I'm a troubler

Wild horses, wild horses
Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

You call my truth in the worst way
Through the dirty lands of a broken smile
And I swear I'm not a pretender
Sometimes it's love who's the biggest lie

So, I keep on damning the devil
And you keep on saying it's alright
Oh glory, I'm a believer
Oh Lord, I'm holding tight, but

Wild horses, wild horses
Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

So, I keep on damning the devil
And you keep on saying it's alright
Oh glory, I'm a believer
Oh Lord, I'm holding tight, but

Wild horses, wild horses
Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

Wild horses run faster, run faster
Run faster

Cover art for Wild Horses lyrics by Bishop Briggs

This song has the obvious meaning of being in a demanding relationship but also has undertones of heavy drug addiction again, as with most of Bishop Briggs songs, it's either a weird coincidence, or she writes these songs like this on purpose.

You hold me down in the best way No quarter from these chains that I've Slapped on my heart for a feeling Why can't I let my demons out?

Heroin holds you down but feels it so good while it's doing it. She slapped the chains of addiction onto her heart for the temporary bliss the drug gives.

Keep screaming into the pillow Cause your taste still gets me stupid high

A taste of heroin gets her high, but she hates herself for this fact.

Oh glory, I'm a believer Oh glory, I'm a trapper Wild horses, wild horses Wild horses run faster, run faster Run faster

Horse is name for heroin. She is literally chasing the heroin.

You call my truth in the worst way Through the dirty lens of a broken smile And I swear I'm not a pretender Sometimes it's love who's the biggest lie

Love is the drug, that is the lie, that you can replace love with a drug.

So, I keep on damning the devil And you keep on saying it's alright

The classic story of the drug being the solution to every problem. An addict will convince themselves that what they are doing is ok.
