You're A Animal
Jonathan Boulet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will not be long
If you think you're us
I will sing this song
I will soldier on
And on and on and on
You will get here what's coming
'til we know what was coming
Now it's time for us to scream
You're a animal
You're eyes in the wild
If we fails to pace
Longing to remain
Can you hear the sounds
Your arms burnt in town
Everyone you love
Loves you until now
I will sing the song
I will not be long
If you think you're us
I will sing the song
You're a animal
The lyrics of Jonathan Boulet's song "You're A Animal" are open to interpretation, but it seems to be a call to action for people to embrace their primal, instinctual nature. The singer declares that he will sing this song, and he will not be long, as though he is urging people to join him in this movement without wasting any time. He then speaks to the listener directly, telling them that if they think they are like him, they should also sing the song and soldier on.
The second verse is more urgent and intense, as the singer declares that we will get what's coming to us, whatever that may be. He encourages screaming out for all we need, until we know what was coming, and it's time for us to scream. This seems to be a call for people to stand up for what they believe in, even if it means making a scene and being heard.
The chorus repeats that the listener is an animal, with their eyes in the wild. There is a longing to remain, to hold onto what we love, but we must also be aware of the primal instincts that drive us. Overall, the song seems to be a call to action for people to embrace their true nature, to stand up for what they believe in, and to be unafraid to make a little noise along the way.
