Animaltronics
Shadrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clean off the cobwebs
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
Sending chills up your spine
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

And not be subject to blame
And not be held accountable or responsible for the situation

No, Foxy's the one who's gay.
