Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Well it's too long living in the same old lives (yeah)
I feel too cold to live, too young to die (yeah)
Will you walk the line, like it's there to choose (yeah)
Just forget the wit, it's the best to use
I said, "Oh, Lord"
I said, "Oh, Lord"
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh, Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on these streets in the heart of the jungle (oh, Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
I lost my mind, in the city of lights (yeah)
In the backstreets buildings and the neon lights (yeah)
When I heard the thunder, I could feel the rain (yeah)
It's the same to me, just a different name
Oh, Lord
I said, "Oh, Lord"
I said, "Oh, Lord"
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh, Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on these streets in the heart of the jungle (oh, Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh, Lord
I said, "Oh, Lord"
I said, "Oh, Lord"
I said, "Oh, Lord child"
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh, Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on these streets in the heart of the jungle (oh, Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
The song "Jungle" by Alvan Project is a powerful and emotional song that touches upon themes of self-discovery, resilience, and finding meaning amidst chaos. The opening lines, "Well, it's too long living in the same old lives, I feel too cold to live, too young to die" evokes a sense of existential angst and dissatisfaction with the status quo. The next few lines, "Will you walk the line, like it's there to choose, Just forget the wit, it's the best to use" encourages listeners to embrace risk-taking and to be true to themselves, rather than conforming to the expectations of others.
The chorus, "Won't you follow me into the jungle, Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle" suggests that the jungle represents a place of freedom and liberation, away from the strictures and constraints of society. The singer has lost his mind in the "city of lights" and found solace in the jungle, where there are "no gods" and only the raw beauty and power of nature.
Overall, "Jungle" is a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to embrace risk and live life on their own terms. The jungle represents a place of liberation and freedom, away from the constraints of society.
