This Heat
The Sound of Animals Fighting Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's making me nervous
How every day feels the same
Meet my phantoms
They never seem to want to go away

So they stay
I found a good place for
Everyone to come and rest
All I ever wanted
Is for everyone I know to come and rest

Meet my phantoms
Meet my phantoms
Meet my phantoms
Meet my phantoms

Hide your body
I tainted your soul
Why are you trying to steal my thoughts before they form
Before I
?????


If everything's fine then why
Hide your body
I tainted your soul
Why are you trying to steal my thoughts before they form

Fall right in
Sure it's more than love and go, than love and go
Beware your pride
Use your time

Use your time
Wasted life
Feel the music change your mind

Where's your body
Where's your soul
Wasted life
Feel the music change your mind

Where's your body
Where's the soul
Sure it's more than love and go, than love and go

Use your time
Wasted time
Feel the music change your mind

Where's your body
Where's your soul
Wasted life





Feel the music change your mind
Feel the music change your mind

Overall Meaning

The Sound of Animals Fighting's song This Heat explores the concept of feeling trapped in a monotonous routine and the desire for some kind of escape. The opening lines of "It's making me nervous / How every day feels the same" convey the singer's frustration with the repetitiveness of their life. They then introduce the idea of their "phantoms," which can be interpreted as their inner demons or struggles, that seem to follow them everywhere and prevent them from finding peace. The repetition of "Meet my phantoms" emphasizes how inescapable they are.


The chorus of "Hide your body / I tainted your soul / Why are you trying to steal my thoughts before they form" speaks to the trust issues and paranoia that the singer is experiencing. They feel as though someone has violated them, and they are now guarding their thoughts and feelings from external forces. The lines "If everything's fine then why / Hide your body / I tainted your soul / Why are you trying to steal my thoughts before they form" show that even if everything seems fine on the surface, deep down, there is a sense of unease.


The song ends with the repetition of "Where's your body / Where's your soul / Wasted life / Feel the music change your mind," which implies that the singer is seeking some kind of catharsis through music. The song seems to suggest that music can be a powerful tool for change.
