Their live show makes a bit more sense of their name. With their rhythmic layering and huge indie pop riffs, it’s hard to imagine them performing under any other name.
‘The Jungle Giants’ is the brain child of lead singer Sam Hales who originally arranged the band as a solo project, but soon found that there was more to the group. Landing their debut gig at the Brisbane Powerhouse as part of ‘Livespark’ in late 2010, they impressed crowds with their head bopping and exciting live show. The band spent the summer of 2010 writing and recording their self-titled debut EP that was released in 2011.
No One Needs To Know
The Jungle Giants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching all the seasons changing like the reasons why I'm here
And while we go away, the winter is here to stay
But we don't mind the cold
While everybody's sleeping, we're just quietly creeping out of our empty beds
My wheels, turning in the dark, leading me right through the park to where you are
And I guess that you could call them the unlucky ones
Yes, we could meet, and you could park your car speeding down the street
So I won't wake the neighbors with the clicking of my feet, yeah
No one really needs to
No one really needs to
No one really needs to know
No one really needs to
No one really needs to
No one really needs to know
Well you could be fair-weathered, but can this get much better?
I don't need a reason why
Just take a step out to the street
You don't really know defeat, so you can stop and cry
While everybody's sleeping, we're just quietly creeping out of our empty beds
My wheels, turning in the dark, leading me right through the park to where you are
Then there it goes another one for all the people that you came for
And I guess that you could call them the unlucky ones
Yes, we could meet, and you could park your car speeding down the street
So I won't wake the neighbors with the clicking of my feet, yeah
No one really needs to
No one really needs to
No one really needs to know
No one really needs to
No one really needs to
No one really needs to know
And I don't care if this is fair
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know where to go
And I don't care if this is fair
And I don't know where to go
And I don't care if this fair for me
Then there it goes another one for all the people that you came for
And I guess that you could call them the unlucky ones
Yes, we could meet, and you could park your car speeding down the street
So I won't wake the neighbors with the clicking of my feet, yeah
No one really needs to
No one really needs to
No one really needs to know
No one really needs to
No one really needs to
No one really needs to know
The Jungle Giants’s song “No One Needs To Know” is about two young lovers sneaking out at night to meet each other. They don’t want anyone to know what they’re doing or where they’re going, but they’re not really doing anything wrong. They’re just enjoying each other’s company and trying to be together despite the obstacles in their way. The singer describes how he watches the seasons change and how he creeps out of bed when everyone else is sleeping. He talks about the clicking of his feet and how he doesn’t want to wake the neighbors. The lyrics suggest a sense of secrecy and adventure, but also a hint of vulnerability and uncertainty, as the singer admits that he doesn’t know where to go or how to make things fair.
The chorus repeats the line “No one really needs to know” several times, suggesting that the couple is trying to keep their relationship a secret for some reason. Maybe they’re afraid of what others will think or they don’t want to invite unwanted attention. The repetition of the line makes it sound like an affirmation or a mantra, as if the singer is trying to convince himself that what he’s doing is okay. The imagery in the song is simple but effective, with references to seasons, wheels turning, parks, and empty beds. The music has a catchy, upbeat feel that matches the sing-along chorus and the sense of youthful energy and rebellion.

if you call this good lyrics with soul, then there'd be infinite famous bands- anybody can write that garbage.
They got where they are because of their sound ... they could do so much better.

year is 2021: i'm building an alternative-indie-dance playlist ...
I love their sound.
But they aren't famous because their lyrics are shit and generic.
So much soul in the instruments, but where is the soul in the lyrics?
