Animal
Embracing the Wild Within: Miike Snow's Animalistic Journey
Lyrics
There was a time when my world was filled with darkness, darkness, darkness
Describing a past time of darkness in the speaker's world.
And I stopped dreaming now
Expressing a cessation of dreaming.
I'm supposed to fill it up with something, something , something
Feeling a need to fill the void with something meaningful.
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody I knew before long long long ago
Noticing familiarity in someone's eyes from the past.
But I'm still trying to make my mind up
Contemplating and deciding on personal freedom.
Am I free or am I tied up
Questioning whether the speaker is free or bound.
I change shapes just to hide in this place but I'm still, I'm still an animal
Adapting to different roles but remaining true to primal instincts.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah I slip
Engaging in actions privately, hidden from others.
I'm still an animal
Reaffirming the primal nature despite external appearances.
There is a hole and I tried to fill up with money, money , money
Attempting to fill an emotional void with material wealth.
But it gets bigger 'til your hopes is always
Seeing the emptiness grow despite material pursuits.
Running, running, running
Continuously running or striving to overcome challenges.
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody of who could be strong
Observing strength in someone's eyes and seeking validation.
Tell me if I'm wrong
Seeking confirmation of perceptions.
And now I'm pulling your disguise up
Exposing someone's true self.
Are you free or are you tied up
Questioning if the other person is free or constrained.
I change shapes just to hide in this place but I'm still I'm still an animal
Adapting to different roles while maintaining primal nature.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip
Keeping the primal identity hidden from others.
I'm still an animal
Reiterating the continued existence of primal instincts.
I change shapes just to hide in this place
Shape-shifting to hide in various situations.
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Remaining an animal despite changing appearances.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
Private slipping into primal behavior without others' knowledge.
I'm still an animal
Emphasizing the persistent primal nature.
I change shapes just to hide in this place
Continuing to adapt and hide in different situations.
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Maintaining the primal identity despite external changes.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
Private slipping into primal behavior without others' knowledge.
I'm still an animal
Reiterating the continued existence of primal instincts.
I change shapes just to hide in this place
Adapting to different roles while maintaining primal nature.
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Remaining an animal despite changing appearances.
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
Private slipping into primal behavior without others' knowledge.
I'm still an animal
Emphasizing the persistent primal nature.
