Animal Instinct
Rage Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the depths of our mind
There hides a lust that's really dangerous and blind
Waiting for the outburst, for an instigation, I bet

You won't be ashamed
To kill if you're not blamed, no
It won't need much to free
The element of crime!

Our world is full of hidden crime
What they call god is nothing but an empty shell
And in this name they think it's right to slaughter,
A higher order

You won't be ashamed
To kill if you're not blamed, no
It won't need much to free
The element of crime!

Animal instinct

All day we hear it in the news
In every state and country the defenseless are abused
What could we even learn from history, it's just
A dated list of crimes

Animal Instinct

Animal Instinct
See it in their eyes!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rage's song "Animal Instinct" delve into the dark desires of the human psyche that lurk beneath the surface. The opening lines allude to the animalistic nature of humans, and the dangerous lust that lies within. The singer describes this lust as blind and waiting for an opportunity to burst forth. The second stanza alludes to the idea that killing is not shameful if there are no consequences or blame. This idea is reinforced in the bridge, where the singer suggests that there is a crime that lies dormant in everyone, waiting to be unleashed on the world.

The chorus of the song brings in the external world and highlights the fact that our world is full of hidden crimes. The singer tells us that the concept of god is nothing more than an empty shell, and in the name of religion, people have committed unspeakable acts of violence. The song then goes on to subvert the idea of a higher order by pointing out that the defenseless are continually abused and that we haven't learned anything from history.

The final stanza brings back the idea of the animal instinct that is lurking in everyone. The lyrics describe this instinct as being visible in people's eyes, suggesting that humans are not as rational as they believe. Overall, the song emphasizes the idea that humans have an innate, animalistic nature that is often hidden beneath the surface, waiting to be unleashed.

Line by Line Meaning

In the depths of our mind
Deep within our psyche

There hides a lust that's really dangerous and blind
There exists a dangerous and irrational desire

Waiting for the outburst, for an instigation, I bet
Anticipating the opportunity for an explosion of violent behavior

You won't be ashamed
You would feel no remorse

To kill if you're not blamed, no
If there were no consequences, you would commit murder

It won't need much to free
It wouldn't take much to unleash

The element of crime!
The propensity for criminal behavior

Our world is full of hidden crime
Our society is rife with unseen criminal activity

What they call god is nothing but an empty shell
Religion is empty and meaningless

And in this name they think it's right to slaughter,
People justify murder through their religious beliefs

A higher order
A group or class considered to be superior to others
