Animal Alpha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she's beautiful.
He is on his way,
to visit his love.
The bathtub is filled,
cheerleaders painted on the walls,
she's taking a bath,
it feels good waiting in the winds.
that she slept through the night,
if he was aware of what she thought was right.
It was to difficult for him to understand,
she didn't have me.
Even if his heart for you to see,
this will make a way for you and me.
She's humming a song,
shivering badly, blood's dripping from her nose,
she's doing her?,
he's aware, there's someone at the door.
The lyrics of "Waltz" by Animal Alpha paint a vivid but disturbing picture of a woman taking a bath as a man arrives to visit her. The scene is set with the woman taking off her clothes, surrounded by painted cheerleaders on the walls of the bathroom. She feels good as she waits for her visitor, while the man, who is on his way to visit his love, would have known that she slept through the night if he had understood what she thought was right. The woman is humming a song but shivering badly, and blood is dripping from her nose. The man is aware that there is someone at the door.
It is not clear what is happening to the woman in the song, but it is suggested that she is experiencing some sort of physical or mental distress, and that the man is either unaware of what is happening or unable to help her. The lyrics hint at a sense of isolation and loneliness, as the woman mentions that she doesn't have "me", and the man seems to be focused only on his own quest to visit his love. The chorus suggests that despite the obstacles in their way, the singer believes that she and the man will find a way to be together.
