This song tells a cautionary tale of sudden fortune and reckless excess, where a fleeting jackpot fuels a night of wild illusion and self-destruction. As the high fades into wreckage and clarity, it reflects on the hard-earned truth that luck can’t be owned—only survived and learned from.

Song Lyrics

×
(Strophe)
I was a no-good drifter, chasing some kinda break.
Packed up my last few dollars, bet it all on mistakes.
Hit Vegas like a wildfire, smoke stinging my eyes.
Lost every damn direction 'til I ran outta tries.

I was ready to cash out, drown the night in regret.
But the wheel spun fire, man, the luck finally hit.
Jackpot screaming louder than the doubts in my head.
Stood there like a king where a fool used to stand.


(Refrain)
We were wild, wild, wild - losing track of the time.
Spinning round, round, round on that runaway high.
Yeah we burned, burned, burned through the dark 'til it bled.
Living loud, living fast like the night never Ends.
Wild, wild, wild - I swore the world was mine.
Round, round, round 'til the truth hit my spine.


(Strophe)
I blew the doors wide open, let the strangers all in.
We drank like we owned chaos, danced in somebody's sin.
Bottles cracking on tables, lines cut into the night.
I was high on a fortune that never felt quite Right.

But the sun hit the curtains, and the truth hit me back.
Found the suite torn to pieces, like a heart under attack.
All the ghosts of the party left me broke on the Floor.
Every dollar, every promise-gone right out the door.


(Refrain)
We were wild, wild, wild - losing track of the time.
Spinning round, round, round on that runaway high.
Yeah we burned, burned, burned through the dark 'til it bled.
Living loud, living fast like the night never Ends.
Wild, wild, wild - I swore the world was mine.
Round, round, round 'til the truth hit my spine.


(Strophe)
Now I'm staring at the wreckage of a dream I forced to grow.
Should've known you can't buy lightning, it just strikes when it wants to glow.
I tried to corner fate, but it slipped right through my Hands.
Left me right where I started, just a broke and wiser man.


(Refrain)
We were wild, wild, wild - losing track of the time.
Spinning round, round, round on that runaway high.
Yeah we burned, burned, burned through the dark 'til it bled.
Living loud, living fast like the night never Ends.
Wild, wild, wild - I swore the world was mine.
Round, round, round 'til the truth hit my spine.


(Abschlussrefrain)
No more wild, wild, wild - just the echo inside.
No more round, round, round on that runaway high.
Yeah it burned, burned, burned 'til it all turned to dust.
Guess you can’t chase luck-only learn who to trust.
