Out Of The Wilderness Lyrics


The crown on my head is heavy on me
They wouldn't know it 'cause they don't wanna see
The skin on my face is turning bright pink
As I walk by, the girls choir whisperingThe street that I walk welcomes my feet
With cryptic graffiti greetings to read
The smile on my mouth, it came dirt cheap
I bought it second handI will always walk tall
Taller than the clouds when the rain starts to fall
I come out of the wilderness to lay by the waterfallThe wires to my head when I press play
Who's this new prophet, has she got something to say?
The thoughts in my brain are backfiring
I'm a picture perfect passengerI will always walk tall
I hold my loneliness up like a medicine ball
I come out of the wilderness to lay by the waterfall
Lighten my loadYou expect the worst
And you always get your way
These big buildings, these little girls
Are giving me a little shadeI will always walk tall

I hold my loneliness up like a medicine ball
I come out of the wilderness to lay by the waterfallI will always walk tall
Taller than the clouds when the rain starts to fall
I come out of the wilderness to lay by the waterfall
Lighten my load

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Cold War Kids are an indie rock band from Fullerton, California, USA. The band members are Nathan Willett (lead vocals, piano, guitar), Jonnie Russell (guitar, vocals, percussion), Matt Maust (bass guitar) and Matt Aveiro (drums). According to Songfacts, Matt Maust came up with the band's name. He was inspired by a trip to Eastern Europe where he came across a big park where they'd dumped statues that had been removed after Communism fell. Within the park he found a playground and being in that environment the phrase 'Cold War Kids' popped into his head.

The band started in historic downtown Fullerton in Jonnie's apartment above the restaurant Mulberry St. (their first EP title) in 2004. They are avid supporters of unsigned talent such as the band Electric Furs. They have toured in support of Two Gallants, Tapes 'n Tapes, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sound Team, Muse and The White Stripes. Their music is heavily inspired by artists such as Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground and Johnny Segment. Recently they starred in an MTV2 special titled "Cold War Kids Takeover!" They appeared on Soccer AM and were announced as Norwich City F.C. Fans. They were going to tour with The White Stripes for their Icky Thump tour, but The White Stripes had to cancel.

In 2007, they contributed to OKX, a tribute to the 10-year-old Radiohead album OK Computer, recording their version of the track "Electioneering." Nathan Willett identified Radiohead and the album as a strong influence, saying, "It's the only album that I feel compelled to say way too grandiose things about, that rock journalists have already said plenty: Like that OK Computer is the single most important album to be released during my youth and that it was a rite of passage. But that really is the truth and I have never had an emotional connection with an album quite like I have with this one."

He also explained why the band chose to cover "Electioneering" from the album: "I'm not saying 'Electioneering' is the best song on the album, but (still, a big claim!) it's certainly the most badass. It's lyrically everything we want to do - bursts of concrete imagery."
