time to say to you my child your name is wild

and if you called me in I´ll change the color

your name is wild

and I'll be taking you soon now to read the orange signs

and I say now to you: so what the useless fade in time?

you chose me to read you no lies hooray for the day

and I'll pay the angels to keep you, my child

you are safer now god knows it too

Love GBV always, but this one touches me particularly deeply as a father of a daughter. To me it's a song about doing the best to show your kid a path towards independence. You have to teach them the conventions of society (orange - stop - signs), but also to ignore the ones that will not match their deeply held inner beliefs. You must be loving and honest, no BS, but hard as you may try to protect them from harm, that will not always be possible and at some point you have to let them go their own way and hope for the best.

The random sounding chord changes! The pure joy of spontaneous sounding lyrics!It's like getting to hear someones dream song before it was finished.Only they saved it before it could be overworked.

I really like this song. Oh hell almost everything Pollard cooks up I like . Subtle groove or something.

Always read it as a marriage song maybe because of a misheard lyric ("You chose me to read you your rights"). Oh well.
