Animal
Unleashing the Beast Within: Exploring the Primal Instincts in 'Animal'
Lyrics
What would you have me to do?
Expressing a willingness to comply or seek guidance.
Under my skin I'm just like you
Highlighting shared human qualities and vulnerabilities.
What would you have me to say?
Inquiring about the desired verbal response.
Domesticated either way
Commenting on being tamed or controlled in various contexts.
I'm just an animal roaming the hill
Portraying oneself as a creature moving freely in nature.
Out for blood looking to kill
Describing a primal instinct for aggression or survival.
I hide lurking by the river's edge
Indicating a concealed presence near a body of water.
The prize never gonna satisfy these hunger pangs
Expressing insatiable cravings that normal rewards cannot satisfy.
What do you want me to be?
Pose a question about identity or expectations.
Can't seem to stop this pretending
Acknowledging difficulty in ending a pretense or false persona.
Trying so hard but I can't change
Struggling to change despite sincere efforts.
It doesn't matter anyway
Asserting that change may not make a difference in the end.
I'm just an animal roaming the hill
Reiterating a wild, untamed essence in oneself.
Out for blood looking to kill
Emphasizing a predatory nature, driven by a desire for conflict.
I hide lurking by the river's edge
Revealing a concealed position near a water source.
The prize never gonna satisfy these hunger pangs
Stating that conventional rewards can't satisfy deep cravings.
I'm just an animal roaming the hill
Repeating the theme of being a wild, instinct-driven being.
Out for blood looking to kill
Reiterating a predatory inclination, seeking to harm.
I hide lurking by the river's edge
Echoing a concealed presence by a river, emphasizing stealth.
I lie - lie in wait with bated breath
Adding deception to the predatory nature, waiting patiently.
The prize never gonna satisfy these hunger pangs
Restating that ordinary rewards cannot satisfy intense cravings.
