Three Days Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
And help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell

(This animal, this animal, this animal
This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
And we believe it's not the real me




Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Three Days Grace's song "Animal I Have Become" speak to the struggle of feeling trapped in one's own mind and body. The singer is desperate for help to escape the nightmare of his own thoughts and feelings, as he feels like he has no control over himself. The repeated line "Somebody help me tame this animal I have become" emphasizes the idea that the singer feels like an animal, wild and uncontrollable, and needs help to regain his humanity.


The chorus of the song explores the fear that, even if someone were to see the "darkest side" of the singer, no one would be able to change him. The implication is that the singer is deeply troubled and perhaps even dangerous, but that this is a part of who he is, and he cannot be easily "tamed" or changed. The line "And we believe it's not the real me" hints at the idea that the singer may be struggling with mental illness or some other internal strife; he does not want to be defined by the "animal" he has become.
