Animal I Have Become
►Three Days Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)
I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell
(This animal, this animal, this animal
This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)
The lyrics of Three Days Grace's song "Animal I Have Become" speak to the struggles of self-control and acceptance. The opening lines convey a sense of helplessness and frustration as the singer tries in vain to escape their own personal hell. The repeated reference to being caged or trapped inside suggests a feeling of being suffocated by their own inner turmoil. The plea for somebody to help them through this nightmare and the admission of being unable to control themselves lends a sense of vulnerability to the song's lyrics.
However, it is the chorus that really brings the meaning of the song home. The statement that "No one would ever change this animal I have become" speaks to a sense of acceptance and resignation that the singer has towards their darker tendencies. The animalistic nature they feel inside them is a part of who they are, and nobody can change that. It is only by taming this animalic nature, with the help of somebody else, that the singer can hope to become their true self.
Overall, the lyrics of "Animal I Have Become" are a poignant reflection on the struggle for self-acceptance and the need for outside support to help overcome personal demons.

Tonight, my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I’ve tried but nothing is working
I won’t stop
I won’t say I’ve had enough
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight, I break away
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
(ohhh, ohhh)
At night I feel like a vampire
It’s not right
I just can’t give it up
I’ll try to get myself higher
Let’s go
We’re going to light it up
Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take (take) yourself (yourself)
To higher places
[Chorus:]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places
(ohh…higher places)
(ohh…to higher places)
(ohh…higher places)
Take yourself to higher places

PAUSA
Stasera, la mia testa sta girando
Ho bisogno di qualcosa che mi sollevi
Ci ho provato, ma nulla sta funzionando
Non mi fermerò
Non dirò di averne abbastanza
Stanotte, accenderò il fuoco
Stanotte, mi allontano
Mi allontano da tutti
Mi allontano da tutto
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori
(ohhh, ohhh)
Alla notte mi sento come un vampiro
Non è giusto
Non posso arrendermi
Proverò a migliorarmi
Andiamo
Lo accenderemo
Stasera accendiamo il fuoco
Stanotte ci allontaniamo
Mi allontano da tutti
Mi allontano da tutto
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori
Mi allontano da tutti
Mi allontano da tutto
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori
(ooh… in posti migliori)
(ooh… verso posti migliori
(ooh… in posti migliori
Porta te stesso in posti migliori

Esta noche mi cabeza da vueltas
Tonight, my head is spinning
Necesito algo que me recoja
I need something to pick me up
Lo he intentado, pero nada funciona
I've tried, but nothing is working
No pararé, no diré que ya tuve suficiente
I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough
Esta noche, enciendo el fuego
Tonight, I start the fire
Esta noche, me escapo
Tonight, I break away
Romper con todo el mundo
Break away from everybody
Romper con todo
Break away from everything
Si no puedes soportar la forma en que este lugar es
If you can't stand the way this place is
Llévate a lugares más altos
Take yourself to higher places
Por la noche me siento como un vampiro
At night I feel like a vampire
No está bien, pero no puedo dejarlo.
It's not right but I just can't give it up
Intentaré subirme más alto
I'll try to get myself higher
Vamos, vamos a encenderlo
Let's go, we're gonna light it up
Esta noche comenzamos el fuego
Tonight, we start the fire
Esta noche, nos separamos
Tonight, we break away
Romper con todo el mundo
Break away from everybody
Romper con todo
Break away from everything
Si no puedes soportar la forma en que este lugar es
If you can't stand the way this place is
Llévate a lugares más altos
Take yourself to higher places
