Welcome to the Jungle
Novo Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've got fun and games
We've got everything you want, honey I know the names
We are the ones that can find whatever you might need
If you got the money honey I'll be your disease
In the jungle, uuhh welcome to the jungle
I Watch it bring you to your knees, I want to watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
Oh so pretty girl, that's very hard to please
You can have everything you want, You better not take it from me
In the jungle uuhh welcome to the jungle
I watch it bring you to your knees 'Cause I want watch you bleed
Welcome to the Jungle by Novo Amor is a song that almost feels like a warning against entering into new territory. The title alone harkens back to the well-known Guns N’ Roses song, and just like the classic rock song, this song is also about a chaotic world that is full of danger and excitement. The lyrics seem to suggest that the world is endearing and inviting to those who are daring enough to venture into it, but once they do, they will soon discover the harsh realities that lie within.
The opening verse establishes this feeling of danger and allure. It says “We've got fun and games, We've got everything you want, honey I know the names”. The use of the word “honey” seems to suggest that the song is directed towards someone. The line seems to be a promise of delivering everything the person wants, but there is a darker undertone as the singer also mentions that if the person has the money, he will be their “disease”. The chorus continues to deliver more warnings, talking about how entering into the jungle will “bring you to your knees” and that the singer wants “to watch you bleed”.
Overall, Welcome to the Jungle is a commentary about the dangers of exploring new experiences. The song seems to suggest that while the prospect of exploring new territory might be alluring, the reality is that it can also be a dangerous and uncomfortable experience.

on Callow
Hold your tongue we never swayed,
pour the faults all away
Cold in lungs and in face
A golden heart, of what became?
It was an awful lot for our young days
Is it love you want 'cus it's love you've made
The cheer within will find a home,
the fear you bring burns below
I can taste the wait and watch you waste away
But I can't face the days, you were born astray
It was an awful lot for our young days
and what an ache i've made for a hollow embrace,
with the blood you flaunt why would you stay
I'm stackin' up on what i'll take,
but the ballot doesn't hold your name
You're wrapping up when winter fades,
I'm holding on the callow ways.
It was an awful lot for our young days.

Clone,
caught hold of your flood lung,
harbour your ‘someone',
prevent me.
Shown,
you swoon in your lace run,
brooding, a quilt tongue,
pining me.
Calm,
clot, cold, and bleed
Calm,
clot, cold, and bleed
Bone,
pull over your midriff,
labour your inches,
widow me.
Hone,
all crimson and hinges,
tarot and itches,
corner me.

Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us.
