Zoo
Dough-Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
uh uh uh
A memory, a night alone
A raining telephone
What did you say to make him leave
To be here on your own
This emptiness, it fills you up
After all this time
Maybe you just can't change
Leavin', stayin', anticipatin'
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feelin'
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
Hold me, yeah yeah yeah
A painful truth, a letter sent
What did you mean to say?
I talk too much until it hurts
And then you run
These fireworks, the silent rage
This anger in your face
After all this time
Maybe you just can't change
Leavin', stayin', anticipatin'
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feelin'
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
Let me go where love won't go
Let me dream where love won't dream
Let me go
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feel inside
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
Oh, what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'
What you feel, what you feel, what you feelin' (yeah, yeah)
Oh, what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'
In "Zoo" by Dough-Boy, the lyrics describe a person feeling alone and dealing with the aftermath of a broken relationship. The person is haunted by memories and is struggling to move on, even though they know they need to. The song uses the metaphor of a "human zoo" to describe the world around us, with all of its complexities and contradictions. The singer encourages the listener to keep looking for someone who will hold them, even in the midst of all the confusion and chaos.
The song seems to be asking a question about the nature of love and relationships in the modern world. The singer suggests that finding love can be like trying to navigate a zoo, where there are so many different animals and distractions that it can be hard to find what you're looking for. At the same time, the song also suggests that there is hope, that there are people out there who can provide comfort and support. The lyrics are emotional and introspective, and they speak to the universal human experience of searching for connection in a complicated and sometimes cruel world.
Overall, "Zoo" is a powerful and poignant song that touches on themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life. It is a reflection of the struggles and triumphs that we all face as we try to navigate our way through this difficult and complex world.
