Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Martin Garrix's "Animals" featuring Kendrick Lamar provides a powerful commentary on contemporary society's relationship with nature and the animal kingdom. The lyrics emphasize humanity's innate animalistic tendencies, suggesting that despite our attempts to distance ourselves from them, we cannot escape our primal nature. The two lines in the chorus, "We're the fuckin' animals," are repeated throughout the song, and they serve to drive home the theme in a forceful and memorable way.

Line by Line Meaning
