I Eat Cannibals
Total Coelo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal, it's incredible
You bring out the animal in me, I eat cannibals
What can you do? You're in a stew
Hot pot, cook it up, I'm never gonna stop
Yum, yum, gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum
I eat cannibal, feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal, it's incredible
You bring out the animal in me, I eat cannibals
I like spice, tasty and nice
Looks trim, vitamin, forget the dietin'
Mmm, such a dish, I can't resist
Healthy recipe, what you got it's good for me
All I wanna do, is make a meal of you
We are what we eat, you're my kind of meat
Got a hunger for your love, it's what I'm speaking of
(Hot pot, cook it up, I'm never gonna stop)
Gonna cook it up
(Yum, yum, gee it's fun, I'm banging on a drum)
Give the world a bone, I can take it home
(Looks trim, vitamin, forget the dietin')
I can take it home
(I eat cannibals)
I eat cannibal, feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal, it's incredible
You bring out the animal in me, I eat cannibals
Roast it, toast it, you're the one I'm boastin'
Eat me, eat you, incredibly delicious too
Gourmet, flambe, serve you up an entrée
In-take, home baked, you're the icing on the cake
I eat cannibals
(Eat me, eat you, incredibly delicious too)
It's incredible
(Gourmet, flambe, serve you up an entrée)
You bring out the animal in me
(In-take, home baked, you're the icing on the cake)
I eat cannibals
(Can't stop, biting on the chop chop)
I eat cannibals
(Roast it, toast it, you're the one I'm boasting)
The song "I Eat Cannibals" by Total Coelo is a playful and cheeky portrayal of romantic desire. The metaphors used in the lyrics liken the singer's hunger for love to a craving for human flesh: "I eat cannibal, feed on animal / Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals." The suggestion is that the singer is willing to consume and devour their lover in a display of overwhelming passion. The chorus repeats this image, with the addition of the line "You bring out the animal in me," further emphasizing the primal nature of the situation.
The second verse presents a more lighthearted and comical tone, with lines like "I like spice, tasty and nice / Looks trim, vitamin, forget the dietin'." The singer seems to be suggesting a preference for a more exotic and adventurous type of love, one that is not constrained by social norms or expectations. The chorus repeats, and the bridge adds a new layer of imagery, with lines like "Roast it, toast it, you're the one I'm boastin' / Eat me, eat you, incredibly delicious too." Here, the implications of cannibalism are expanded to include a mutual consumption of each other, suggesting an intense and all-consuming relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "I Eat Cannibals" are a playful and flirtatious take on the theme of romantic desire, using cannibalism as a metaphor to portray the singer's overwhelming appetite for love.
