Animal State
Embracing the Wild: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Animal State'
Lyrics
True enough, there are reasons why
Reflecting on the existence of valid reasons
I watch the fire as it starts to die
Observing a fading fire
Tihink of you when you’re by my side
Thinking about a person while being close to them
I hear your boot tap right in time
Noticing the rhythmic sound of someone's boot
Flip the page another, another year gone by
Flipping through the pages of time, acknowledging passing years
Laundry lists but no assembly line
Mentioning various tasks without a structured routine
The day’s as new as if it wasn’t mine
Perceiving each day as new and unclaimed
Scan the ground for change just to stay alive
Searching the ground for change as a means of survival
I face you when there’s no stage
Confronting someone in the absence of a formal setting
You see me in my animal state
Being seen in a raw, instinctive, and unguarded state
But I’ll to meet your more than halfway
Expressing a willingness to make an effort beyond halfway
Still a lifetime of things to say
Acknowledging a wealth of experiences yet to be shared
You stay level like a Kansas mile
Describing someone as consistently stable and unwavering
As for me, I’m a real live wire
Characterizing oneself as lively and unpredictable
Reach for you after dreams of fire
Reaching out to a person after pursuing ambitious dreams
Safer with you than they are inside
Feeling safer and more secure in the company of a specific person
You bloom through cracks when the wells run dry
Thriving and emerging resiliently during challenging times
Harvest your hunger to help feed mine
Utilizing someone's passion and energy to support one's own
Mean well by you when I lose my mind
Having good intentions when mental clarity is lost
Only angels and fools would rush the fault line
Recognizing the risk and unpredictability in certain situations
I face you when there’s no stage
Facing someone without the presence of a formal platform
You see me in my animal state
Being observed in a primal and unrestrained state
But I’ll to meet your more than halfway
Committing to making an effort beyond the midpoint
Still a lifetime of things to say
Acknowledging the vastness of unspoken thoughts and experiences
