Jungle
Jamie N Commons X Ambassadors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's too long living in the same old lives (yeah)
I feel too cold to live, too young to die (yeah)
Will you walk the line, like it's there to choose? (Yeah)
Just forget (oh Lord) the wit, it's the best to use
(Oh Lord, said oh Lord, I said oh Lord)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (oh Lord)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
I lost my mind, in the city of lights (yeah)
In the backstreets buildings and the neon lights (yeah)
When I heard the thunder, I could feel the rain (yeah)
It's the same to me, just a different name
(Oh Lord, said oh Lord, I said oh Lord)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, said oh Lord, I said oh Lord)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
The opening lines of Jamie N Commons's "Jungle" express a sense of boredom and frustration with routine, repeated experiences. The singer feels too cold to live, too young to die, suggesting a sense of aimlessness in their life. The following line poses a question about walking the line, which implies a sense of choosing a path or direction. Then, the line "Just forget the wit, it's the best to use" could be interpreted as a call to abandon cleverness or intellect and instead rely on instinct or intuition.
The chorus brings in the title of the song, with the repeated refrain "Won't you follow me into the jungle? Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle." The jungle represents a wild, untamed space removed from civilization, where conventional rules don't apply. The idea of there being no god on the streets implies a lack of structure or authority, making the jungle a place of freedom and possibility. The singer invites the listener to join them in this space, suggesting a desire to escape from the constraints of their mundane existence.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jungle" can be interpreted as a call to break free from the monotony of everyday life and seek out a place of adventure and freedom. It's a song that speaks to the human desire for excitement and a sense of purpose, and invites the listener to join the singer in their quest for something more.
