Hailing from … Read Full Bio ↴We are brothers and that's why we know each other well
Hailing from Halle, the two Monkey Safari gents are real Nightlife addicts and indeed lovers of club culture. As owners of the legendary Charles Bronson club and purveyors of labels like What!What! Records (since 2008) & Mambo (since 2011), they truly are ambassadors of house and techno in their hometown.
Happy, silly and fun sounds are the result of their creativity. Their music is tropically flavoured, crossed with an electric spark, ideal for drunken nights out, falling off heels and losing half of your drink to the dance floor. As a DJ team they merrily merge different music genres and styles from all over the globe: sometimes soft and melodic, sometimes deep and conscious, at others down and dirty, but one thing is sure, the mood is always happy. Warning: The wave they're riding is high grade and infectious, this is some serious monkey business!

Monkey Safari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you have built for me?
Hold your throne,
And love is all I'll need?
Have you grown?
Have you sold out all our dreams?
I'm lost in you,
Nothing new,
But you still bear a trace.
I hold on to
The lines I should erase.
And so you grew,
And so you tore yourself away.
I'm lost in you,
I'm nothing new.
Nothing new
Nothing new
Nothing new
Is this our home,
That you have built for me?
Hold your throne,
Till love is all I'll need.
The lyrics of Monkey Safari's song "Cranes" are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that the singer is questioning the existence and stability of a relationship they are in. The line "Is this our home that you have built for me?" suggests that the singer is unsure if the relationship they are in is truly home or a sustainable foundation for their future. The following lines "Hold your throne, And love is all I'll need" could be interpreted in different ways, either as the singer asking their partner to be more stable and committed or as the singer reassuring their partner that if they have love everything else will fall into place.
The chorus "Nothing new, But you still bear a trace" suggests that the singer has been through similar situations in the past and have seen similar patterns of behavior from their partner, but that they still hold on to the remnants of what they used to have. The lines "And so you grew, And so you tore yourself away" could indicate that the singer's partner has changed over time and has left the singer behind.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cranes" evoke a sense of uncertainty and longing for stability in a relationship.
