[Verse]
Teenager wolf feet hit the ground
Untamed spirit no chains to be found
Running wild through forest's sigh
In the moonlight's gleam he won't hide
[Verse 2]
Barefoot through the wild he strides
A child of nature with no guides
Every breath a cry for freedom's taste
In the shadows where dreams aren't waste
[Chorus]
Running fast to outrun the night
A flicker in his eyes of endless fight
Free to wander free to roam
Seeking solace in the unknown
[Verse 3]
Howls echo in the midnight air
Heart beats to a rhythm rare
Leaves crunch beneath his swift flight
Alone he runs chases the light
[Bridge]
Wolves call softly in his ear
A chorus of the lost ones here
Trying to outrun the fact he's lone
But finds a family in nature's tone
[Chorus]
Running fast to outrun the night
A flicker in his eyes of endless fight
Free to wander free to roam
Seeking solace in the unknown
Tech CrapWIPOne of the songs I built using my own recordings/samples, and unfortunately I was too lazy with the lyrics when I did (even stole Peter Gabriel's "free to wander, free to roam"), as it was pretty much a test run. But the result stuck with me as one of my favorites, and there wasn't changing the lyrics anymore. Ah well. I shall embrace the slight cringe.
Personal ThoughtsWIPIn many ways, Kat already existed before I gave him this shape. Even before I wrote his name for the first time in the 90s. Before all of that, he was around in a few melodies that I used to play, hints of him, hidden, waiting.
His theme-songs existed before him, so in many ways, he was born from music. And it's a joy, a true joy, after 30+ years, to finally witness this side of him come to life too.
