Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh why? You're crying 嗤え 狂え
Coming up, coming up
嗚呼 殺意の眼 粋な獲物 昂ぶる 昂ぶる
Not enough, not enough
まだその命 愉悦に足りはしない
獣じみた欲を貪れ
We are in the jungle, oh-oh-oh
さあ牙を研げ 死の数を競おう ah
Go on your way 容赦もなく
No one is left 奪い尽くす
Showing up, showing up
大義と似せたそれは私刑 いたぶる いたぶる
You're the same, you're the same
善と言い張る醜さこそが本性
We all are the jingoes, oh-oh-oh
弱き者を慈悲も残さず
We are in the jungle, oh-oh-oh
喰い尽くすのは 獣より人間の性
Dance it up, u-ra-ra, dance it up, u-ra-ra, dance it up, u-ra-ra

また舌を出す 狂った人間たちよ ah
We all are the jingoes, oh-oh-oh
We are in the jungle, oh-oh-oh
The lyrics of MYTH&ROID's "Jingo Jungle" vividly describe a merciless world where violence and brutality reign. The song is a battle cry for the jingoes (a term used to describe people with aggressive nationalist tendencies). The singer exhorts the listener not to seek escape because there is no way out. She then urges the listener to embrace their animalistic nature and become a predator in the jungle of life. The lyrics imply that it is better to be the hunter than the hunted. The idea of a jungle will also suggest the harshness and unpredictability of the world, where survival is only for the fittest.
The hook of the song, "We all are the jingoes," seems to affirm that regardless of who you are, we are all capable of cruel and merciless behavior. The song embraces this idea that humans are not always rational and strive to ensure their survival above all else. The lyrics' repetition of the phrase "hurry up" and "dance it up" before the song's final lines seems to suggest that time is running out and that we should make the most of our time. The chorus of the song serves as a rallying cry for the jingoes to embrace the animalistic side of their nature and compete to survive in the jungle of life.
