Jungle
Juno im Park Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I used to know
were waterfalls and tropic birds
I don't know where to go
electronic caves surrounding you

Your minds are on the run
studying astronomy
But you don't see where you've gone

looking at your tiny screens

Show me the jungle, jungle
all I need is a way to find home
Show me the jungle, jungle
'cause I can't do it all on my own

It's the dust in the sky
that brought tears to my eyes
I can't breathe in the air
you're the only one there

Need a jungle, jungle
Show me the jungle
Show me the jungle
Show me the jungle

Realize you're not alone
a moment of epiphany
When there is no right or wrong
solidifying memories

I'm looking for the one
who happens to be just like me
Trigger feelings that were gone
of the places where we used to be

Show me the jungle, jungle
all I need is a way to find home
Show me the jungle, jungle
'cause I can't do it all on my own

It's the dust in the sky
that brought tears to my eyes
I can't breathe in the air
you're the only one there

Need a jungle, jungle
Show me the jungle
Show me the jungle
Show me the jungle

Show me the jungle
all I need is a way to find home
Show me the jungle
'cause I can't do it all on my own

Realize you're not alone
a moment of epiphany

When there is no right or wrong
solidifying memories

Overall Meaning

The singer yearns for a sense of connection and grounding, as expressed in the refrain "Show me the jungle, jungle / all I need is a way to find home." The repetition of this line underscores the singer's desperation for a place of belonging.

The final verse suggests that the singer is searching for someone who shares their sense of displacement, in order to "trigger feelings that were gone / of the places where we used to be." The song ends with a repetition of the refrain, emphasizing the singer's continued search for a sense of home.

Overall, "Jungle" explores themes of dislocation, longing for a sense of belonging, and the contrast between natural and man-made environments. The repetition of the refrain anchors these themes, and the use of vivid imagery throughout the song provides a powerful backdrop for the emotions expressed in the lyrics.
