Wild Flower

The speaker describes intense attraction to someone he calls a “wild flower.” When she is near, he feels unable to control himself: his heart races, and he says he is overwhelmed. The feeling develops into repeated praise and declarations of love, ending with a lively expression of being “crazy” about her. The mood is excited, admiring, and almost breathless.

The “wolf child” and howling suggest a strong, instinctive longing, rather than a calm or carefully reasoned kind of love. Calling the beloved a “star of my dreams” presents her as someone shining and idealized in the speaker’s imagination. The image of “burning down the night” and setting the world alight may suggest passion so powerful that it seems to fill everything around him.

The song’s language is deliberately exaggerated and repetitive, which makes the emotion feel energetic and immediate. The speaker praises the woman as an angel and a perfect creation, but these may be expressions of infatuation rather than a balanced picture of who she is. “Wild flower” could suggest beauty and freedom, though the lyrics do not explain exactly what the phrase means. Overall, the song celebrates desire, while leaving open whether the speaker’s feelings are deep love, intense attraction, or both.
