Jungle
L.O.X 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 L.O.X's song "Jungle" is a rap song that speaks about the struggles of city life and the desire to escape to a more primal setting. The lyrics speak to the feelings of being trapped, suffocated, and unable to grow or progress in one's current environment. The song starts with the acknowledgment of the drudgery that comes with living the same old life, feeling too young to die but too drained to truly live. The refrain begs for a new setting, and invites the listener to follow along into the heart of the urban jungle where nothing is guaranteed and everything is a struggle.
The lyrics suggest that surviving the jungle requires forgetting your wit and quick thinking, and instead relying more on instinct and reflexes. It's a place where nothing is safe and everything is earned, where even the gods are absent from the streets. The singer has lost their mind in the city of lights, but reassures the listener that it's all the same, just with a different name. The song delivers a powerful message to those who find themselves suffocated by the monotony of life, inviting them to follow the L.O.X and escape to a place with more risk, but also more possibility for growth and change.
