Beach House – Wild

  General Comment:I think this song, as well as all of Bloom is about youth and the high points as well as the downfalls.
  It seems to get across the feelings of youths going crazy and wild, but they can't stay wild forever.
  they cannot keep pretending.

  General Comment:Does anybody get "hints" that this might be about death?
  
  "The earth is wild - We've got no time" (brevity of life)
  
  "Endless Green" (Cemetery)
  
  "The hood is black and gleaming" (Funeral Hearse/Car)
  
  "Wild in our ways Go on pretending" (We live our lives in a sort of careless abandon pretending things {life} lasts forever)

  Lyric Correction:My mother said to me that I would get in trouble
  Our father won't come home, cause he is seeing double
  
  Out in the endless green
  Your eyes are so misleading
  That's when the car pulls up
  It's hood is black and gleaming
  
  And in a while
  You start a smile
  The earth is wild
  We've got no time
  
  Wild in our ways
  What we are making
  Heartless to say
  Go on pretending
  
  One chance to fall behind the lines that will not let you
  Can I believe in how the past is what will catch you
  
  And in a while
  You start a smile
  The earth is wild
  We've got no time
  
  Wild in our ways
  What we are making
  Heartless to say
  Go on pretending
  
  Wild in our ways
  What we are making
  Heartless to say
  We go on pretending
  
  Wild in our ways
  Go on pretending

  General Comment:I think "Hardest to say" makes more sense.

    At 2:13, she clearly says HEARTLESS. You can definitely hear the T sound in there.

    "Heartless" makes perfect sense in the context; the song seems to be about trying to honestly evaluate a relationship that isn't going anywhere.

    the lyric book that comes with the vinyl says "heartless"
