Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knnn knne knees, knees
I want to watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay
And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
Ooh, I want to hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here every day
Ya learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
If you hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knnn knne knees, knees
I want to watch you bleed

And when you're high you never ever want to come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah

You know where you are?
You're down in the jungle baby, you're gonna dieee
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle welcome to the jungle




Watch it bring you to you
Its gonna bring you down, ha!!

Overall Meaning

"Welcome to the Jungle" is a hard rock song by Guns N' Roses, released in 1987 as the second single from their debut album Appetite for Destruction. The song is known for its heavy riffs, aggressive vocals and explicit lyrics. The opening lines, "Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games," set the tone for the song's gritty depiction of life in the big city, where danger lurks around every corner and the thrill of the chase is all-consuming. The lyrics speak of a place where anything goes, a place where people can lose themselves and indulge in their wildest desires, but also a place where the price of admission is steep and the consequences of one's actions can be dire.


The chorus, "In the jungle, welcome to the jungle, watch it bring you to your knnn knne knees, knees, I wanna watch you bleed," is a primal scream that captures the raw, visceral energy of the song. It's a warning to anyone who dares venture into this nocturnal world of danger and temptation, a world where one false move can mean the difference between life and death. The song's driving beat and aggressive guitar riffs serve to underscore the urgency and intensity of the lyrics, making it one of the most iconic rock songs of all time.
