[Intro]
The singer feels rebellious, untamed, and unapologetically bold.

[Verse 1]
This part describes a confident and carefree attitude. The singer has a fresh new look and enjoys being seen as a little wild or unpredictable. They embrace their bold and arrogant side, throwing on a leather jacket, ready to take on the world. Everything feels chaotic, but they thrive in the unpredictability. They live in the moment, making things up as they go, fully embracing their unique personality.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer questions whether life will take a messy, unpredictable turn, like a dramatic show. But they don’t care about boring rules or expectations—they’re just going to do their thing.

[Chorus]
The singer declares their rebellious nature, tossing aside rules and refusing to be controlled. They choose their own path, embracing their wild and unpredictable side. They don’t pretend to be something they’re not, fully accepting their crazy, free-spirited nature. It’s not about fitting in—it’s about being themselves, no matter what anyone thinks. Their true essence is about being bold, fearless, and untamed.

[Verse 2]
This verse shows an even stronger determination to live without limits. The singer refuses to stop, even if others tell them to. Their patience for restrictions is gone, and they’re ready to push forward fearlessly. They’re the type to take risks and see where things go. Even if it means crossing lines and being hated, they don’t care. They reject fake kindness and prefer to burn through life passionately, making sure every move they make is intentional and bold.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer doesn’t care what others think. They won’t do things they dislike just to please people. Instead of following the usual roles society expects, they’d rather be the villain—because at least that means they’re being real.

[Chorus]
Once again, the singer embraces their rebellious and unpredictable nature. They refuse to follow rules, deciding everything on their own. They don’t pretend to be something they’re not and fully accept their wild, free-spirited side. It’s not about conforming—it’s about embracing who they truly are, even if it seems crazy or reckless to others. They’re proud of their untamed personality and have no regrets.

[Bridge]
The energy builds as the singer completely embraces their wild side. They’re losing themselves in their reckless, free-spirited nature, fully giving in to their untamed and uncontrollable emotions.

[Chorus]
The singer once again confirms their rebellious identity. They don’t follow the rules, and nobody can control them. They make their own choices and refuse to fake their emotions. They are wild, free, and true to themselves. Instead of pretending, they live unapologetically as they are, embracing their chaotic yet authentic essence.
