Revengine saw the light of day on early 2007. Hailing from Lapua Finland, this Alice In Chains / Therapy? / Faith No More-influenced heavy grunge group has received abundant praise with their releases.
What is special about Revengine is that with the multi-sounds of the band (guitarist & vocalist Antti Jokiranta / bassist Juha Järvelä / drummer Jouni Yli-Rantala / guitarist Mirko Honkanen), they can reach grunge-rockers and metal fans alike.
After releasing two EP´s Revengine put out their debut album “Why Follow Road So Narrow” on 2014 in collaboration with producer Ari Laurila (known from Apulanta / Klamydia / SubUrbanTribe). From that album, a psychologically multilayered music video “EOL” was directed and it was extremely well received. On early 2018 the fresh and heavy pounding single ’Lust’ was released from their upcoming album.
Revengine is a band that are at their best when seen live and the feeling of their music can be experienced. Today, an extensive touring history of more than a hundred shows has refined the band’s character even further.
Second single release ’Diminish’ from the upcoming album is out on August 16th.
From Human To Animal
Revengine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It took some damage when i punched you in the face
I feel as i´m walking in a London mist
I gotta find a place to hide from my disgrace
Defaced myself before humanity, can´t bare the consequences
I advanced my state of devolution from human to animal
I´ve lowered my status from human...to animal
I´ve gone from human to animal, my furr isn´t there yet
From human to animal, my fangs are in place
From human to animal, someone tell me what i am!
From human to animal, someone tell me what i am!
I think i feel no shame anymore; even i mark my territory in your bech
Or when i released you from your personal war, i gotta find a place to hide from my disgrace
Defaced myself before humanity, can´t bare the consequences
I advanced my state of devolution from human to animal
I´ve lowered my status from human...to animal
I´ve gone from human to animal, my furr isn´t there yet
From human to animal, my fangs are in place
From human to animal, someone tell me what i am!
From human to animal, someone tell me what i am!
Remember a time when we came down from the trees?
Intelligence was on our side until it was time for us to breed
Empires fell, they turn into dust (dust to dust)
Science has found the reason why...
ALL BECAUSE OF SOMETHING CALLED LUST
Defaced myself before humanity, can´t bare the consequences
I advanced my state of devolution from human to animal
I´ve lowered my status from human...to animal
I´ve gone from human to animal, my furr isn´t there yet
From human to animal, my fangs are in place
From human to animal, someone tell me what i am!
From human to animal, someone tell me what i am!
...someone tell me what i am
The lyrics to Revengine's song "From Human To Animal" convey a strong sense of regret for actions taken in the heat of the moment. The first two lines reveal that the singer has hurt himself before getting into a fight and causing harm to someone else. The imagery of walking in a London mist suggests isolation and the need to escape responsibility for what has happened.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "from human to animal," emphasizing the transformation that has taken place in the singer's mind. The idea of devolving from human to animal is a poignant one, as it suggests that the singer has lost something essential about their humanity in the process. The repetition of the phrase "someone tell me what I am" further underscores the confusion and sense of loss that the singer is feeling.
The final verse brings in themes of evolution and the fall of civilization. The idea that lust is what ultimately led to the downfall of humanity is a controversial one, but the song seems to be suggesting that unchecked desires can lead to disastrous consequences. Ultimately, the singer's actions have caused them to become something they do not recognize or understand, and they are left grappling with this new identity.

My grandfather who I wish I could hug so bad was a huge nature man and gave us such a respect for nature and animals. Wild animals belong in the wild and they need to be left there for their own sanity and happiness. We were raised where it was the ocean and the woods. I’ve seen dolphins , fox , chayotes , bore , snakes , crocks .. just so many animals because now I live on a lake. I’m so glad that I was raised the way I was
