about

Losing Wild is the first single from the new EP 'D I S S E N T E R' -Released 01.04.22

Losing Wild explores the idea that the loss of biodiversity diminishes human imagination. The song suggests that the extinction crisis not only poses heartbreaking and planet-threatening external risks, but also heralds the end of good poetry and diminishment of playful minds. We need to listen to our scientists, and to find solutions we also all need to engage our imaginations.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Have you seen the animals crossing the desert
They’re on their way (oh)
Have you seen the animals crossing the desert
In the light of the heat of the day.

The hourglass drains there’s no Noah’s Ark in the desert
So they’re going away
Only time rains down on this bleak parade in the desert
The Twilight of Wilder Days.

My wild heart
Goes with them
My mind
Goes down with them
I go with them
I go with them
I go with them

Have you seen the animal crossing the desert
She’s on her way (oh)
Have you seen the animal crossing the desert
In the light of the heat of the day.

The mind it is a mirror to the land
What was once forest now is sand
In the Twilight of Wilder Days.

My wild heart
Goes with them
My mind
Goes down with them
I go with them
I go with them
I go with them

Because what am I
If there’s no lion
To teach me to roar
No Ibis
No Eagle flying
Reminding me I can soar?

My wild heart
Goes with them
My mind
Goes down with them
I creature, wild with them
Am hunted
I go with them I go
I go with them I go
I go with them.
