Jungle
X Ambassador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's too long living in the same old lives (yeah)
I feel too cold to live, too young to die (yeah)
Will you walk the line, like it's there to choose? (Yeah)
Just forget (oh Lord) the wit, it's the best to use
(Oh Lord, said oh Lord, I said oh Lord)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (oh Lord)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
I lost my mind, in the city of lights (yeah)
In the backstreets buildings and the neon lights (yeah)
When I heard the thunder, I could feel the rain (yeah)
It's the same to me, just a different name
(Oh Lord, said oh Lord, I said oh Lord)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, said oh Lord, I said oh Lord)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle (yeah)
Ain't no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle (oh Lord child)
Won't you follow me into the jungle
The lyrics of X Ambassadors' "Jungle" tell the story of someone feeling stuck and dissatisfied with their mundane, everyday life. They feel disconnected from the world around them, finding themselves too young to give up and die, but still feeling too cold to live. At this point in the song, the singer summons the listener to follow them: "Won't you follow me into the jungle?" They're looking for an escape, urging the person to join them in the wild, lawless wilderness where the streets are free of gods, and they can let loose and be themselves.
The second verse talks about the city, and how it led to the singer losing their mind amidst the neon lights and towering buildings. But when they heard the thunder and felt the rain, it was a moment of clarity for them—the realization that it was all the same, just with different names. This realization further fuels the urge to escape to the jungle, where they can live outside of societal norms and limitations.
Overall, "Jungle" is a song about living unapologetically, pursuing one's own desired life path despite the obstacles that may stand in the way. It speaks to the human desire to break free from conformity and find true freedom in the face of life's challenges.
