Animaltronics
Shadrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's your time to shine
The operator says you've got to keep them in line
The problem is that you're alone
No one to keep them away
You check the camera
Eyes dart at the time
The room is getting colder
There's something hiding in the dark and it wants you as its prey
You're running out of power
Because you can't stand up to these animaltronics
Nearing the final hour
Oh no, you can't stand up to these animaltronics
Your palms are sweaty
Your fingers are numb
The beating of your heart is just as loud as a drum
You hear their footsteps down the hall
Along with nursery rhymes
One's in the closet
The other's outside
They're inching ever closer and they know where you hide
The fox is coming out to play
You shut the door just in time
You can't control the shadows
Oh no, you can't stand up to these animaltronics
You're swinging from the gallows
Because you can't stand up to these animaltronics
You hear their wheezes and moans
Gargled noises come from the phone
Why won't they just leave you alone?
Unless they think your cover's been blown
So you'd better play dead
So you'd better play dead
Your arms are tired
Your vision is crossed
You haven't kept control of all the power you've lost
The clock is slowly ticking down
You're almost out of the game
You lost your focus
The leader is gone
Maybe if you're careful you can hold out 'till dawn
If only you could tweak the odds
And not be subject to blame
You're running out of power
Because you can't stand up to these animaltronics
Nearing the final hour
Oh no, you can't stand up to these animaltronics
You can't control the shadows
Oh no, you can't stand up to these animaltronics
You're swinging from the gallows
Because you can't stand up to these animaltronics
You're running out of power
Because you can't stand up to these animaltronics
Nearing the final hour
Oh no, you can't stand up to these animaltronics

Clean off the cobwebs
Get rid of any lingering doubts or fears
It's your time to shine
It's your moment to show your abilities and potential
The operator says you've got to keep them in line
The person in charge expects you to control and manage the situation
The problem is that you're alone
The challenge is that you have no one to support or help you
No one to keep them away
No one to protect you from the dangers
You check the camera
You constantly monitor the surroundings
Eyes dart at the time
You anxiously keep track of the minutes passing
The room is getting colder
The atmosphere becomes tense and unsettling
Sending chills up your spine
Making you feel scared and apprehensive
There's something hiding in the dark and it wants you as its prey
An unknown threat lurks in the shadows with the intention of harming you
Your palms are sweaty
You are feeling nervous and anxious
Your fingers are numb
You are losing control or dexterity in your hands
The beating of your heart is just as loud as a drum
Your heartbeat is fast and intense, causing further unease
You hear their footsteps down the hall
You perceive the presence of the animatronics approaching
Along with nursery rhymes
Accompanied by eerie and unsettling sounds
One's in the closet
One of the animatronics is hiding in the closet
The other's outside
Another animatronic is positioned outside the room
They're inching ever closer and they know where you hide
The animatronics are slowly getting closer, aware of your hiding place
The fox is coming out to play
The specific animatronic named 'the fox' is about to make its move
You shut the door just in time
You manage to protect yourself by closing the door at the last moment
You can't control the shadows
You are unable to manipulate or influence the dark, uncertain elements around you
You're swinging from the gallows
You are facing imminent danger and potential harm
You hear their wheezes and moans
You perceive the unsettling sounds the animatronics make
Gargled noises come from the phone
Strange, distorted sounds are heard from the telephone
Why won't they just leave you alone?
You wonder why the animatronics keep persisting and harassing you
Unless they think your cover's been blown
Unless the animatronics suspect that you have been detected or exposed
So you'd better play dead
Your best strategy is to pretend to be lifeless and motionless
Your arms are tired
You are physically exhausted
Your vision is crossed
You are struggling to see clearly or focus
You haven't kept control of all the power you've lost
You failed to properly manage and conserve the limited power supply
The clock is slowly ticking down
Time is running out gradually
You're almost out of the game
You are nearing the point of losing and being defeated
You lost your focus
You became distracted or lost concentration
The leader is gone
The person in control or charge is no longer present
Maybe if you're careful you can hold out 'till dawn
If you are cautious and vigilant, you might survive until morning
If only you could tweak the odds
If only you could alter the chances or circumstances in your favor
And not be subject to blame
And not be held accountable or responsible for the situation
