Jungle
The Movement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard that lately
Maybe you've been feeling down and out
cnd it seems that no one understands
What you're feeling down about
Well it can't be easy running in circles
Round and round
When it seems like just yesterday
We were living loud and proud
Now all these faces seem like strangers
Everywhere you look all you see is danger
Wish you could just deal with all this later
But you're a lion
cnd you won't just put up
With this hatred and anger

Yeah I know it's a jungle out there
But don't be scared
Just stay cool and be humble
Yeah I know it's a struggle
But if you're kind you can step inside
When the thunder starts to rumble

I heard that lately
Maybe nothing is what it's supposed to be
It seems like I lost everybody that was ever close to me
I don't know why
But I feel like it was just owed to me
Now I know if I want to reap the harvest
Then first I gotta sow the seed
But it's hard when all these faces look like strangers
Everywhere I go all I see is danger
Wish I could just deal with all this later
But I'm a lion
cnd I won't just put up
With this hatred and anger

Yeah I know it's a jungle out there
But don't be scared
Just stay cool and be humble
Yeah I know it's a struggle
But if you're kind you can step inside
When the thunder starts to rumble

They say love is an island
But life is a jungle under the silence
Cause even over the sirens
We're deaf to the sounds of hunger and violence
cnd then we open our eyelids
cnd look in the mirror, see a pride of lions
We got nothing to hide in
We're all just stardust
Check the science
If I glance over at you
I see nothing but the same thing staring at me
You see, everything is all connected
We're all neglected, we're all rejected
But we're not skipping a beat
Cause we all share the same heart
One love, one soul, one truth
cnd the truth is
None of us are getting out of this alive
So c'mon tell me what you're gonna do

Yeah I know it's a jungle out there
But don't be scared
Just stay cool and be humble
Yeah I know it's a struggle
But if you're kind you can step inside
When the thunder starts to rumble

Yeah I know it's a jungle out there
But don't be scared
Just stay cool and be humble
Yeah I know it's a struggle




But if you're kind you can step inside
When the thunder starts to rumble

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Movement's song "Jungle" speak to the challenges and hardships of life, using the metaphor of a jungle to describe the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the world. The song acknowledges that it can be difficult to navigate through life's trials and tribulations, and people often feel misunderstood and alone in their struggles. The opening stanza conveys the message that running in circles and feeling lost is not easy, especially when the world feels unfamiliar and dangerous. However, the song encourages resilience and strength, comparing the listener to a lion who refuses to succumb to hatred and anger. The chorus reassures that despite the jungle-like nature of the world, staying cool, humble, and kind can help one find their place amidst the thunderous struggles.


In the second verse, the lyrics shift to the perspective of the singer, who shares their own feelings of loss and isolation. The lyrics suggest that the singer believed they were owed something in life and highlights the difficulty of accepting that hard work and effort are necessary to achieve personal growth and success. Just like in the first verse, the singer emphasizes the challenge of facing the unknown and the danger that seems to lurk everywhere. However, their lion-like determination and refusal to accept hatred and anger remain unchanged.


The final verse introduces the themes of love, unity, and interconnectedness. The lyrics point out the contrast between the isolation and violence that pervades society and the deeper truth that we are all connected, like a pride of lions or stardust. The song urges listeners to recognize this interconnectedness and the shared humanity that binds us together. It prompts reflection on the choices we make and asks the listener to consider their role in the larger context of life. The song concludes with the reminder that no one escapes this life alive, emphasizing the importance of embracing kindness and unity in the face of the jungle-like challenges around us.


Line by Line Meaning

I heard that lately
Recently, I've been informed


Maybe you've been feeling down and out
Perhaps you have been experiencing sadness and hopelessness


And it seems that no one understands
It appears that nobody comprehends


What you're feeling down about
The reasons behind your emotional state


Well it can't be easy running in circles
It must be challenging to be stuck in repetitive patterns


Round and round
Continuously and without progress


When it seems like just yesterday
When it feels as if only a short while ago


We were living loud and proud
We were confidently expressing ourselves


Now all these faces seem like strangers
Currently, unfamiliar faces surround us


Everywhere you look all you see is danger
No matter where you turn, danger is apparent


Wish you could just deal with all this later
Desire to address these issues at a more convenient time


But you're a lion
However, you are strong and fearless


And you won't just put up
And you refuse to tolerate


With this hatred and anger
The negativity and hostility


Yeah I know it's a jungle out there
Yes, I am aware that the world can be a difficult place


But don't be scared
Yet, you should not be afraid


Just stay cool and be humble
Remain calm and modest


Yeah I know it's a struggle
Indeed, I understand the hardships


But if you're kind you can step inside
However, if you show kindness, you can find acceptance


When the thunder starts to rumble
During challenging times


Maybe nothing is what it's supposed to be
Perhaps things are not as they should be


It seems like I lost everybody that was ever close to me
It feels as though I have lost everyone who was once dear to me


I don't know why
I cannot explain the reason


But I feel like it was just owed to me
Yet, I have an unwarranted sense of entitlement


Now I know if I want to reap the harvest
Now I understand that to achieve success


Then first I gotta sow the seed
I must put the initial effort


But it's hard when all these faces look like strangers
Yet, it is difficult when everyone appears unfamiliar


Everywhere I go all I see is danger
Wherever I travel, dangers surround me


Wish I could just deal with all this later
I wish to postpone handling these issues


But I'm a lion
However, I am brave and courageous


And I won't just put up
And I will not tolerate


With this hatred and anger
The negativity and hostility


They say love is an island
People claim that love is isolated


But life is a jungle under the silence
Yet, life is chaotic and unpredictable


Cause even over the sirens
Despite the blaring sirens


We're deaf to the sounds of hunger and violence
We remain oblivious to the cries of hunger and violence


And then we open our eyelids
Once we awaken and become aware


And look in the mirror, see a pride of lions
And observe our reflection, recognizing our strength


We got nothing to hide in
We have no secrets to conceal


We're all just stardust
We are all made of celestial matter


Check the science
Consult scientific research for proof


If I glance over at you
If I glance in your direction


I see nothing but the same thing staring at me
I perceive nothing other than a reflection of myself


You see, everything is all connected
You understand that everything is interrelated


We're all neglected, we're all rejected
We are all disregarded and excluded


But we're not skipping a beat
Nevertheless, we continue without missing a step


Cause we all share the same heart
Because we all have the same capacity for compassion


One love, one soul, one truth
We possess unity, a shared essence, and a common reality


And the truth is
And the reality is


None of us are getting out of this alive
None of us can ultimately escape mortality


So c'mon tell me what you're gonna do
Therefore, let me know your intended course of action
