Jungle
pablo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No sun will shine in my day today
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
I said darkness has covered my light,
and has changed my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found
Won't someone help me
'Cause sweet life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle
Where the living is hardest
Concrete jungle
Man and woman have to do their best.
No chains around my feet
But still I'm not free
I know I am bound here in captivity
I've never known what happiness is
I've never known what sweet caress is
I'll be always laughing like a clown
Won't somebody help me?
'Cause my sweet life must be somewhere out there to be found
Instead of a concrete jungle
Where the living is hardest
Concrete jungle
A woman has to do her best

Sweet life, sweet life
Concrete jungle
Where the living is hardest
Concrete jungle
Man has to do his best
Concrete jungle
Where the living is hardest
Concrete jungle




People you've got to do your best
Concrete jungle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pablo's song Jungle touch upon the struggles of individuals living in urban cities, particularly the African-American community. The opening lines highlight the absence of a positive influence in the singer's life, with no sunshine or moonlight to brighten his day. The metaphorical use of darkness symbolizes hopelessness and despair. The chorus follows with a plea for assistance to find love and a "sweet life," indicating a longing for a life with purpose and fulfillment.


The verses specifically talk about the struggles of living in the concrete jungle, where individuals do their best to survive in a world filled with hardships. The imagery of being bound in captivity despite there being no chains around the singer's feet symbolizes the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of poverty and lack of opportunity. The line "I've never known what happiness is" speaks to the larger issue of systemic injustice and inequality, where individuals are unable to experience the simplest pleasures in life due to the harsh realities of their environment. The repetition of the plea for help in finding a better life highlights the urgency and desperation of the singer's situation.


Overall, Pablo's song is a reflection of the struggles and hardships faced by individuals in urban areas, particularly those in marginalized communities. The lyrics highlight the need for support and assistance in creating a more equitable society where individuals are not bound by their circumstances.
