Out of the Wilderness Lyrics

My favourite song from the new album. To me this song is all about self-confidence. With references to walking with your head down and feeling as though others are talking/whispering about you and then the loneliness and nervousness of walking deserted, graffitied streets in your own world of music.
The chorus is all about wanting to change and desperately wanting to be able to keep your head held high no matter what, hence being able to deal with your troubles, ie the wilderness, so you can reach peace and contempt in your own way, ie reaching you goals - the waterfall.

Very powerful and uplifting song.
