Animals
Wild Echoes: Unveiling the primal journey in 'Animals' by Pants on Fire
Lyrics
Don't you forget
Expressing a reminder or emphasis on a particular point or memory.
We were animals
Highlighting a time when the speaker and others behaved in a primal or instinctual manner.
Usen't have a place to go when we were cold
Describing a lack of shelter or refuge when feeling cold.
The cave was wet
Depicting the uncomfortable and damp conditions of a cave, which was considered home.
But we'd call it home
Despite the challenges, the cave was regarded as a comforting and familiar place.
Boy it was different though when we were stoned
Contrasting the experience when under the influence of substances like drugs.
When we're alone
Referring to moments of solitude.
I'm down low
Indicating a state of being low or downcast.
My bones cold
Describing a sensation of coldness in the speaker's bones.
Don't say you never never even Talk to me
Addressing the issue of communication, possibly emphasizing a lack of dialogue.
Don't fuck with me
Warning against causing disturbance or interference.
You're stuck with me
Emphasizing a sense of commitment or entanglement.
I'm an animal
Identifying oneself as an instinctual being.
Just the place you thought I'd be
Contrasting expectations about the speaker's location.
I'm as fast as kangareese
Playfully blending "kangaroo" and "kaleidoscope," possibly suggesting a fast and colorful existence.
Fucking talking memories
Reflecting on spoken memories, possibly with a provocative tone.
I've bespoken all that's broken many men of centuries
Claiming influence over or connection to the experiences of many individuals over time.
Now they're crawling on my tracks
Describing others following the speaker's path or influence.
It's the tail end of the chase
Marking the conclusion of a pursuit or endeavor.
I've been fucking up, dying till we blow up on the scene
Admitting to mistakes or failures until achieving recognition or success.
But now you got the face on
Highlighting a change in demeanor or appearance.
Don't you forget
Reiterating the past identity as primal beings.
We were animals
Recalling the lack of a warm place in cold times.
Usen't have a place to go when were cold
Referencing the discomfort of a wet cave, considered home.
The cave was wet
Reiterating the association of the cave with home.
But we'd call it home
Recalling a different experience when influenced by substances.
Boy it was different though when we were stoned
Reiterating a feeling of being low or downcast.
I'm down low
Emphasizing the coldness in the speaker's bones.
My bones cold
Requesting communication or conversation.
Talk to me
Repeating the plea for communication.
Don't fuck with me
Warning against causing disturbance or interference.
You're stuck with me
Reiterating a sense of commitment or entanglement.
I'm an animal
Reaffirming the primal and instinctual nature of the speaker.
Just the place you thought I'd be
Contrasting expectations about the speaker's location.
I'm as fast as kangareese
Playfully blending "kangaroo" and "kaleidoscope," possibly suggesting a fast and colorful existence.
Fucking talking memories
Reflecting on spoken memories, possibly with a provocative tone.
I've bespoken all that's broken many men of centuries
Claiming influence over or connection to the experiences of many individuals over time.
But now you got the face on
Highlighting a change in demeanor or appearance.
Don't you forget
Reiterating the past identity as primal beings.
We were animals
Recalling the lack of a warm place in cold times.
Usen't have a place to go when we were cold
Referencing the discomfort of a wet cave, considered home.
