Animal
Ke$ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am in love
With what we are
Not what we should be

And I am, I am starstruck
With every part
Of this whole story

So if it's just tonight
The animal inside
Let it live and die

Like it's the end of time
Like everything inside
Let it live and die

This is our last chance
Give me your hand
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
The night is fading
Heart is racing
Now just come love me like we're gonna die

Oh

I'm not asleep
I'm up for the fight
Into the magic

And I don't want the concrete
I am alive
It comes with the tragic

So if it's just tonight
The animal inside
Let it live and die

This is our last chance
Give me your hand
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
The night is fading
Heart is racing
Now just come love me like we're gonna die

Oh

This is our last chance
Give me your hand
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
The night is fading
Heart is racing
Now just come love me like we're gonna die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ke$ha's song "Animal" depict a couple who are deeply in love and living in the moment, fully embracing the animalistic, passionate side of their relationship. The singer admits to being "starstruck" by every part of the story of their love, and she is completely in love with who they are at this moment, rather than focusing on what they should be. The lyrics suggest that they are both fully aware that their time together may be limited, which adds urgency to their desire to fully immerse themselves in the passion and love that they share.


The chorus of the song is an invitation to let go of inhibitions and give in to the primal desires that exist within them. By letting the animal side of themselves live and die, they can fully embrace the intensity of their love, as if it's the end of time. The line "give me your hand" is a plea to the other person to join her in this moment and make the most of what may be their last chance to fully let go and love each other.


The verses of the song explore the idea that the singer is alive and fully engaged with the magic of life, even though it comes with its own brand of tragedy. She is not content to simply exist within the confines of what society deems as acceptable or concrete, she wants to live life to its fullest.


Overall, "Animal" is a song about living in the moment, being fully present in a relationship, and embracing the passion and intensity of love while you still can.
