The Native Architects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the night night
Kick it on the beach until the firepit hards
Let the sky sky know who you are
What are you seeing, kid?
Is life that you are, who you breath, not what you need, yeah
And you mine my soul
Won't you and go breath the air?
Come with me and down, if you down now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You go to the night where wild things go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Out here in the dark, here we are at the mountains
The freckles on the nose screaming like it's done
And we don't need no heart to tell us that we're home, no
Oh, we will see the end, before we even started
I know that we breathe, I know that we need the violence
So sing it like your favorite song
Feel it pulsing through your blood
Come with me and down, if you down now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You go to the night where wild things go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Out here in the dark, here we are at the mountains
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Feel the wi-wind in my bone
Where will it end we don't know
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Feel the wi-wind in my bone
Where will it end we don't know
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We go to the night where wild things go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We go to the night where wild things go
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Feel the wi-wind in my bone
Where will it end we don't know
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
Feel the wi-wind in my bone
Where will it end we don't know
Still a-way-ay, ways to go
The song "Animals" by The Native Architects speaks about the freedom of spirit and the pursuit of purpose. The lyrics describe the night as a time when the "devil" shines brightly like stars, perhaps representing the potential for mischief or adventure. The lines "Kick it on the beach until the firepit hards/Let the sky sky know who you are" suggest a desire to make a mark on the world, to leave an impression that will endure. The singer asks "What are you seeing, kid?" which could be interpreted as a deeper question about one's perception of life and whether we are simply alive or truly living with purpose.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to embrace their wild side, to go where the "wild things go" and to feel the rhythm of life pulsing through their veins. The lyrics "The freckles on the nose screaming like it's done/And we don't need no heart to tell us that we're home" suggest that we should trust our instincts and intuition to guide us on our journey, rather than relying on external indicators of success or happiness. The song ends with the lines "Still a-way-ay, ways to go/Feel the wi-wind in my bone/Where will it end we don't know/Still a-way-ay, ways to go" which further reinforces the idea that life is a journey and that we should embrace the unknown with open hearts and minds.
