Primative People
Mano Le Tough Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am a primitive man
We are primitive people in a primitive land
We're not too far from the future
We're not too far from the past
And this moment, this moment won't last.
The lyrics of Mano Le Tough's song "Primative People" speak to the primal nature of human beings and the fleeting nature of time. The opening lines, "You are a primitive woman, I am a primitive man, we are primitive people in a primitive land" suggest that despite the advancements that humans have made, both in terms of technology and societal progress, our basic instincts and desires remain the same. We are still primal beings at our core, and this is something that connects us all.
The following lines, "We're not too far from the future, we're not too far from the past, and this moment, this moment won't last" speak to the transience of time. Despite our connection to the past and our potential for a technologically advanced future, the moment we are in right now is fleeting. It will pass, and we will move onto the next moment in time.
Overall, the lyrics of "Primative People" remind us that no matter how much technology progresses or how much society changes, we will always be connected to our primal nature and the passing of time.

This track has literally saved my life! A friend played it for me, and it really got to the source of my repressed pain and brought it all to the surface. The mind and the ego fools us into thinking we are developed, when in reality we are primitive creatures in a primitive land.
