No Love in the Jungle
Harper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No love in the Jungle

Blood on your hands tonight
fear in the air tonight
Cause there’s no control in the wild
Concrete walls build ‘em high
Fortress tall in the sky
Cause they’re hunting like wolves in the night

Yeah they creep in the dark
Rip you apart
Prey on the weakness of your heart
Running and running and running
They’re running you down
Here in the dark
Don’t lose your guard
Before you don’t know who you are
Running and running and running
They’re running you down


Cause there’s
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
No love
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
The city ain’t sleeping tonight
Do what we gotta do to survive
To survive it
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
No love


Claws cutting like a knife
Heart is a blade of ice
Cause they’re out for blood when they bite
Crawling to stay alive
Kill for a higher life
Cause that power takes hold like a fire

Yeah they creep in the dark
Rip you apart
Prey on the weakness of your heart
Running and running and running
They’re running you down
Here in the dark
Don’t lose your guard
Before you don’t know who you are
Running and running and running
They’re running you down

Cause there’s
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
No love
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
The city ain’t sleeping tonight
Do what we gotta do to survive
To survive it
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
No love

Killers in the water
Blood is running like a river
Til you’re drowning in that river
You’ll be drowning in that river
Creeping like a fire
Til you’re burning even higher
You’ll be burning even higher
Gotta watch out for that fire

Cause there’s
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
No love
No love in the jungle
No love in the jungle
The city ain’t sleeping tonight
Do what we gotta do to survive
To survive it
No love in the jungle




No love in the jungle
No love

Overall Meaning

The song "No Love in the Jungle" by Harper explores the concept of a harsh and unforgiving urban environment where love and compassion are scarce. The lyrics vividly depict a dangerous and relentless atmosphere, where fear and violence prevail. The first verse highlights the sense of danger, with blood on one's hands and fear permeating the air. The description of concrete walls and fortresses emphasizes the need for protection against the predatory nature of the city.


The chorus further emphasizes the absence of love in this jungle-like cityscape. The repetition of "no love in the jungle" reinforces the idea that love is lacking or nonexistent in this environment. The lyrics suggest that people are forced to do whatever it takes to survive, indicating the desperation and harsh realities that are faced within this urban setting.


The second verse elaborates on the predatory nature of the city. The imagery of claws and a heart that feels like a blade of ice creates a chilling and hostile portrayal of the individuals who roam the city, willing to inflict harm. The lyrics describe the struggle to stay alive and the willingness to kill for an elevated status or power. This paints a bleak picture of how the thirst for power can dominate and corrupt individuals within this jungle-like environment.


In the bridge, the lyrics convey a sense of drowning in the city's brutality, with killers in the water and blood flowing like a river. The reference to fire and burning signifies the relentless and all-consuming nature of the urban environment. The lyrics warn to watch out for this fire, reminding listeners of the need to be cautious and protect themselves in this harsh jungle.


Overall, the song "No Love in the Jungle" presents a somber and cautionary tale of surviving in a city where love is absent and danger lurks at every corner.
