Instinct
Dr. Alex Patterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know when I'm hungry, I know the taste I like
I know how much it takes to satisfy my appetite
I know when I've had enough or when I still need more
I don't need no-one to tell me what I'm hungry for

Just my animal instinct, way that I feel
Animal instinct, got to be real
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct will show me where to go

If you're feeling hungry your big desires burn
You need some satisfaction but you don't know where to turn
Got to trust your instincts, instincts always right
You'll find what your hungry for out there in the night

Trust your animal instinct, way that you feel
Animal instinct, got to be real
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct will show you where to go

Animal instinct, way that you feel
Animal instinct, got to be real
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct

Animal instinct, burning down below
Animal hunger
Animal instinct, burning down below
Animal hunger

Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct
Animal instinct, burning down below
Animal hunger





Animal hunger......

To survive and persevere,


You'd better use all your instinct to survive

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
Life is filled with ups and downs, joy and sorrow


We get down low, we get up high

Another day, another year

Another good time, and one more tear
There will be more happy moments and more sad moments in life


We climb the mountain, we reach the top
We set goals and work hard to accomplish them


We keep on running, and we run til' we drop
We keep persevering and pushing ourselves to the limit, until we can no longer continue
