Don't Feed The Animals
Unveiling the Metaphor: Dan Fearon's 'Don't Feed The Animals'
Lyrics
It's a feeding frenzy
There is intense activity or excitement, likened to a feeding frenzy.
Down on the farm
Refers to a location, possibly a metaphorical "farm" where activities are happening.
The natives aren't friendly
The local people or inhabitants are unfriendly or hostile.
So stay safe from harm
Advice to remain cautious and protect oneself from danger.
You know the right way
There is a correct or proper way to approach the situation.
Eye up the right path
Suggests looking at the correct direction or path.
Just raise that shield
Metaphorically raising a shield to defend oneself.
To take back the past
To regain control over past events or situations.
Don't feed the animals
Strong advice not to engage with or support certain individuals.
In this zoo
Comparing the situation to a zoo, implying chaos or disorder.
You'll end up like them
If you engage, you might become like those individuals, confused or lost.
Without a clue
Without understanding or awareness.
And so they can't see
They are unaware of the consequences or significance.
What it might mean
Uncertainty about the meaning of certain actions or events.
If they opened their eyes
If they open their eyes, things could be resolved smoothly.
Could all get through clean
Overcoming obstacles without difficulties.
Don't feed the animals
Reiteration of the warning not to get involved with certain individuals.
In this zoo
Reiterating the chaotic nature of the situation, resembling a zoo.
You'll end up like them
Similar outcome if one engages, being clueless or confused.
Without a clue
Without understanding or awareness.
So just remember
Reminder to be mindful while passing through the situation.
While you pass on by
Not everyone has an equal share or opportunity.
That not everybody
Recognition that people have different circumstances or privileges.
Has a piece of the pie
Not everyone enjoys the same benefits or advantages.
Don't feed the animals
Reemphasizing the warning not to engage with certain individuals.
In this zoo
Comparing the situation again to a chaotic zoo.
You'll end up like them
Similar outcome as before if one gets involved, being clueless or confused.
Without a clue
Reiteration of the outcome without understanding or awareness.
