This song continues the conflict placed in the first song, but this time in a more personal way, representing the great problem of the human being, which can not feel love freely, or in this case, wildly.
The song generates the thesis that humans have something secret in our roots, that we must lib...
[Verse 1]
Plumbed the badlands as a child
Where the dust devils dance
On the dreams of the ivy wild
[Pre-Chorus]
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
There is no domestic heart
Then what have we become: just pedestrian?
There is no domestic heart
[Chorus]
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we reckon with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
[Verse 2]
You are the wilderness and I fall fast drawn
To the rise of your vast expanse
I feel so underdressed so civilized and small
By the powers that you possess
[Pre-Chorus]
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
There is no domestic heart
Then what have we become: just pedestrian?
There is no domestic heart
[Chorus]
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we reckon with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
[Verse 1]
Plumbed the badlands as a child
Where the dust devils dance
On the dreams of the ivy wild
[Chorus]
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we reckon with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we reckon with it, and we wrestle with it
The Wilderlove is hidden within us
And we wrestle with it, and we wrestle with it
We wrestle with it

“Wilderlove [pronounced “Will-der-love”] is a word I made up. It’s kind of like ‘wanderlust’ but less selfish, and sort of compares people-scapes to landscapes. I think the desire in us to know and be known is so great that it speaks to what I believe is the transcendent part of a person. It’s the p...
