Welcome to the Jungle
Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox feat. Daniela Andrade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the jungle
We've got fun and games
We've got everything you want
Honey we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got no money, honey
We've got your disease
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees
Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But its the price you pay
You're a very sexy girl
Very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you
Won't get it for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse everyday
Learn to live like an animal
Jungle where we play
Gotta hunger for what you see
You take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
I wanna hear you scream
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
I wanna watch you bleed
And when you're high you never
Ever wanna come down
And when you're high you never
Ever wanna come down
Down, down, down, down
Yeah
...
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
I wanna watch you scream
Welcome to the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle




Wlecome to the jungle
I wanna watch you leave

Overall Meaning

The song "Welcome to the Jungle" by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox feat. Daniela Andrade is a jazz rendition of the original rock song by Guns N' Roses. The cover incorporates soft piano and brass sections, providing a completely different experience from the original. The lyrics talk about the experience of moving to the city, the struggles and the feeling of being overwhelmed. The city is represented as a jungle with the line "Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games." The people are depicted as animals, living and hunting in the city. The line "Learn to live like an animal, jungle where we play" reinforces this point.


The lyrics are highly suggestive, especially when it comes to the description of women. Women are described as "very sexy" and "very hard to please." They are an attraction in the jungle or the city, and they are compared to the bright lights that cannot be easily attained. The line "I wanna watch you bleed" is also highly suggestive and violent.
