WE ARE MATCH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And none of them are guys
We're not going to the store
Tonight we're doing welluntil we're good
I've got a bottle in one
Don't act like you were born in 81
Your feathers on the floor
Though you're educated more
And have some fun!
Give me your voices until they break us down
Release the horses, let me show you how
We're just some animals
They don't love us all
Downtown
Bottles like Pandora Boxes
Jobs are like formal excuses
For us to wait until the weekend
Party like it was a way of living
Will there always be a difference?
Will there always be a difference?
Will there always be a difference?
Between who you are
And who you are drunk?
Give me your voices until they break us down
Release the horses, let me show you how
We're just some animals
They don't love us all
Downtown
To buy any food
When we go out
Downtown
When we go out
Downtown
"We Are Match" is a French alternative rock band that has released many popular tracks. The lyrics of their song "Animals" depict the desire to party hard and enjoy life to the fullest, despite the societal pressure of conforming to norms. The first two lines, "I've got a lot of friends coming in, And none of them are guys," convey the plans for a girls' night out. The singer is not interested in going to the store and would rather party hard. Moreover, the lyrics suggest that they are already in a good mood ("tonight we're doing well until we're good") and are enjoying their party.
The following lines, "I've got a bottle in one, Don't act like you were born in '81," represent a sense of youthfulness and the desire to stay forever young. The lyrics affirm that one should not act like they are old and instead focus on enjoying life. The next line, "Your feathers on the floor, Though you're educated more," is metaphorical and implies that they are carefree and living life as wild animals, disregarding societal expectations of maturity and education.
The chorus, "Give me your voices until they break us down, Release the horses, let me show you how, We're just some animals, They don't love us all, Downtown," signifies the need to let loose and enjoy life to the fullest despite societal expectations. The lyrics suggest that the partygoers are like animals living in the moment, not caring about anything else. The way they live their life, however, is not accepted by society as they prefer to let loose and party. The song tries to capture the essence of living life carefree and having fun without any restraint.

In the urban city center
Bottles like Pandora Boxes
Alcohol bottles are similar to the mythical Pandora's Box, bringing both good and bad outcomes
Jobs are like formal excuses
Employment is often used as an excuse for a lack of fun and excitement
For us to wait until the weekend

Will there always be a difference?
Will there forever be a distinction between our sober selves and drunken selves?
Between who you are
The differentiation between your true self
And who you are drunk?
And the person you become when you consume alcohol to excess
To buy any food
To purchase any form of sustenance
When we go out
When we venture outside
Downtown
In the urban city center
When we go out
When we venture outside
Downtown
In the urban city center
