Animals
And And And Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some weird unconformity outside your tail.
Bug Bear, Night Mare, Castles in the air,
I wonder if this game is fair.
Some kind of animal is loose in the night.
Leaping and shrieking in freakish delight.
Some kind of animal let out on the stage.
Look out now !!!
Some kind of animal - You make me feel like,
Some kind of animal - Makes love like,
Some kind of animal - Gonna die like,
Some kind of animal !!!
INSTRUMENTAL
Some kind of animal - You must feel like,
Some kind of animal - You make love like,
Some kind of animal - You?re gonna die like,
Some kind of animal !!!
Some kind of animal exists in us all.
Instinct awakens to it?s primitive call.
Bug a Boo after you, look out now it?s comin? through .........
I wonder if this dream is true???
I wonder if it?s me or you???
INSTRUMENTAL
ANIMAL !
The lyrics to And And And's song "Animals" are open to interpretation, but they seem to be addressing the primal instincts that exist within all of us. The first verse describes the feeling of being followed or pursued by some kind of animal, whether literal or metaphorical, and feeling like it's an unfair game. This could represent the struggles and challenges we face in life, or the inner demons that haunt us. The second verse speaks more directly to the idea of unleashing our inner animal, whether in a moment of wild abandon or as a performance on a stage. However, even in these moments, we are still constrained and contained by societal constraints, represented by the bars of a cage. The chorus repeats the phrase "Some kind of animal" and shows how this primal instinct can manifest in many different ways, from the way we love to the way we die.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty - the singer wonders if this animal is real or if it exists only in their mind, and questions whether they are the only ones experiencing it. It's a reminder that our primal instincts are both a part of us and yet often hidden or suppressed, and that they can be both exhilarating and terrifying.
Overall, "Animals" is a song that grapples with the duality of human nature - our civilized, rational selves and our wild, instinctual selves. It's a reminder that both sides are a part of us and that they must coexist in order for us to be fully human.
