The band is composed of Japanese musicians and singers and mostly performs heavy metal and rock songs. The TV edit of the song was released last month on 10 January 2022 and the full version is now available on spotify since 7 February 2022. The TV edit of the song was also used as the opening theme for the final season of the currently airing hit anime called \u2018Attack on Titan\u2019.\u2018The Rumbling\u2019 is a hard rock\/metal song with english lyrics, which is rare for japanese bands. It ranked No. 1 at the US Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and brought this band to the limelight for a lot of people in the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I think the song is wild is not because of the lyrics by themselves but from the conjunction of the lyrics and events taking place during the final season. The lyrics provide a new perspective to our protagonist, Eren Jaeger&#8217;s tumultuous and eventually flawed way of thinking. Since the last season of the show, we\u2019ve seen Eren progress from the relatable protagonist to an insensitive monster. The lyrics \u2018All I ever wanted to do was do right things, I never wanted to be the king\u2019 show us that even when committing atrocious crimes like genocide, Eren thought that he was doing right by his people. This way of thinking is just unthinkable and \u2018wild\u2019. The later lyrics \u2018If I lose it all, slip and fall. I will never look away\u2019, given context from the show, seem to denote that even if Eren loses himself, his family, and his humanity trying to save his people by committing more atrocities, he won\u2019t budge from the path he has adopted. That kind of determination, even if it is for all the wrong reasons, seems \u2018wild\u2019 to me. The metal\/rock genre, along with the lyrics and visuals of the video make it a truly \u2018wild\u2019 experience for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u300c\u9032\u6483\u306e\u5de8\u4eba\u300dThe Final Season Part 2\u30ce\u30f3\u30af\u30ec\u30b8\u30c3\u30c8OP \uff5cSiM\u300cThe Rumbling\u300d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2S4qGKmzBJE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent \u2018wild\u2019 song that I\u2019ve heard is \u2018The Rumbling\u2019 from the band SiM.
