Jungle
Strawberry Lace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Need some time to feel like myself
(Need some time to feel like myself)
Keeping up a facade, I'm getting sick of acting juvenile
Stuck here when I'd rather be somewhere else
Don't push this further I can't take it anymore
Collapse in on myself, there's no one left to ignore
Tired of being a fake
But I hope I make it out in one piece
Open up your eyes
Allow the pain to subside
Take it in my stride
And let my two halves collide
And let my two halves collide
And let my two halves collide
Can't handle the way that things are changing
Wish someone would help me up
(Wish someone would help me up)
Rearranging my destination
Can't tell where I'll end up
Pinned down by the hands of nostalgia
Didn't think it would but it found ya
Stuck in my ways forever
I'll never switch, it's a pointless endeavour
One day I'll crack under the pressure
But I'll have you to treasure
It's okay, I'll always remember
Open up your eyes
Allow the pain to subside
Take it in my stride
And let my two halves collide
And let my two halves collide
And let my two halves collide
The song "Jungle" by Strawberry Lace is about feeling lost and stuck in the past while trying to maintain a facade of being okay in the present. This feeling is expressed by the lines "Can't handle the way that things are changing, Wish someone would help me up, Rearranging my destination, Can't tell where I'll end up". The singer wants to be alone for a while to find themselves again and not feel like a fake, acting juvenile all the time. They feel pinned down by nostalgia and fear they will crack under pressure one day. Still, they hope they make it out in one piece and can let their two halves collide.
The chorus talks about being open to experience pain, facing the truth, taking it in stride, and letting their two halves collide. This means accepting who they are, both the happy and the sad parts, and facing the world as a real person instead of pretending to be someone else. The lines "But I'll have you to treasure, It's okay, I'll always remember" can be interpreted as finding comfort in memories and relationships amid the chaos.
Overall, "Jungle" is a song about wanting to break free from the constraints of the past and fear of the future to become a more authentic version of oneself. The lyrics express the universal feeling of being lost, but they also validate the idea that it's okay to feel vulnerable and fall apart sometimes.

But I'll have you to treasure
I have someone dear to me that I can hold onto
It's okay, I'll always remember
Even if things get tough, I'll always remember the good times
And let my two halves collide
Bring together my two different sides of myself
And let my two halves collide
Unite my conflicting personalities
And let my two halves collide
Find balance in my life and within myself
