After releasing six studio albums, including best-selling records The Real Thing (1989) and Angel Dust (1992), Faith No More officially announced its breakup on April 20, 1998. The band has since reunited, conducting The Second Coming Tour between 2009 and 2010, and releasing its seventh studio album, Sol Invictus, in May 2015. After the touring cycle of Sol Invictus, Faith No More went on hiatus once again. In November 2019, the band announced that it would reunite to embark on a 2020 UK and European tour, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was postponed. Touring was due to recommence with a brief US tour in September 2021, followed by the previously postponed UK and Europe dates in June 2022, but all tour dates were cancelled with Patton citing mental health reasons.

The Jungle
Faith No More Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Man oh man
Try and see, if you can
Ha ha
Jungle sounds great
Lots of scary noise
Don't deter us from our journey onward
Hey man, let your spirit go
To the full extent of the meaning
He said and follow me to the deepest part of the jungle
Where it is always dark and wet and warm
To the sacred part
Well, just follow your heart
Man oh man
Try and see, if you can
Ha ha
Jungle sounds great
Lots of scary noises
Don't deter us from our journey onward
We pushed and followed
Only our deepest, hidden senses, senses
And exposed to the elements
That lie within
the jungle
The lyrics to Faith No More's song The Jungle have a mysterious and cryptic quality to them. The opening lines, "Well, just follow your heart, Man oh man, Try and see, if you can, Ha ha," suggest an invitation to a journey of self-discovery and exploration through the unknown. The jungle is portrayed as a dangerous and chaotic place, filled with "scary noises," but the singer urges us to push forward and not be deterred on our journey onward. The lines "Hey man, let your spirit go, To the full extent of the meaning" also suggest a desire to explore beyond the boundaries of what is familiar and safe, to push ourselves to the limit in search of something greater.
