Jungle
DillanPonders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got an eagle eye, walkin' a line that's like a needle wide
Need a vine, I'm in a jungle, I need a tree to climb
Going blind, hot box the ally, but I can see the sky
Getting high with cigarette smokers, but I put weed in mine
Church didn't teach us, the preacher was yelling, keep up
Young cheetah feeding on zebras like they were peanuts
Me and all my people, we building like it's Ikea
Gang signs throughout the re-up, I threw like three up

Keeping to myself so I'm keeping the peace
Facing all my problems head on, let 'em seep into me
I ain't playing 'round, better watch how you speaking to me
I don't play games, baby girl, why you playing with me (goddamn)

Yeah, I don't play games with nobody I don't know
Push through the pain, they always throwin' low blows
Burnin' down towns, put holes into the ozone
Ridin' 'round town, whiskey got me on slow-mo
Flexing, I'm not doing none of that
Texting especially when you vex me
Riding through the west end when you check me
But I can see through you like an X-ray (like an X-ray)

Went from the worst me to the best me (best me, best me)
Was a next man when my ex left me (when my ex left me)
Got my shit together, now she wanna text me (now she wanna text me)
But I been focused on the funds, cut the cheque, please

She's been working a lot, she needs to wind down
Been trippin' a lot with every kind now
She ain't thinking about no comedown
She's on a liquor carousel and it's going 'round
She's thinking 'bout the past now
'Bout the future and the present, where she at now
I can't really explain this fuckin' feeling
She's wondering if anything is really real

Yeah, I don't play games with nobody I don't know
Push through the pain, they always throwin' low blows
Burnin' down towns, put holes into the ozone
Ridin' 'round town, whiskey got me on slow-mo
Flexing, I'm not doing none of that
Texting especially when you vex me
Riding through the west end when you check me
But I can see through you like an X-ray (like an X-ray)

Went from the worst me to the best me (oh-oh, is it the best me?)
Was a next man when my ex left me (when my ex left me)
Got my shit together, now she wanna text me
(She wanna text me, she wanna text yeah)
But I been focused on the funds, cut the cheque, please





Was a next man when my ex left me
But I been focused on the funds, cut the cheque

Overall Meaning

In DillanPonders's song "JUNGLE," the lyrics delve into themes of self-reflection, addiction, and survival. The opening lines, "Got an eagle eye, walkin' a line that's like a needle wide / Need a vine, I'm in a jungle, I need a tree to climb" convey a sense of urgency and an overwhelming feeling of being lost in a hostile environment. The singer recognizes that they must navigate their surroundings carefully to survive, like a person walking a thin tightrope in a dense jungle.


The lyrics also touch on addiction and the impact it can have on one's life, "Getting high with cigarette smokers, but I put weed in mine / Burnin' down towns, put holes into the ozone / Ridin' 'round town, whiskey got me on slow-mo." These lines suggest that addiction has a numbing effect and can lead to destructive behavior. The singer acknowledges their addiction but does not seem to be in the mindset to quit, instead letting the addiction take over.


The chorus of the song, "Yeah, I don't play games with nobody I don't know / Push through the pain, they always throwin' low blows / Burnin' down towns, put holes into the ozone / Ridin' 'round town, whiskey got me on slow-mo" highlights the singer's resilience and determination to overcome any obstacles, but also their recklessness when they are under the influence.

He deserves millions of viewers!! Come on people, let's do our best for our Canadian brother...
But keep this in mind, slow and steady wins the game...
