Animal by Miike Snow Lyrics Meaning – Unleashing the Beast Within Through Melodic Revelation
Lyrics
And I stopped dreaming now
I’m supposed to fill it up with something, something , something
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody I knew before long long long ago
But I’m still trying to make my mind up
Am I free or am I tied up
I change shapes just to hide in this place but I’m still, I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah I slip
I’m still an animal
There is a hole and I tried to fill up with money, money , money
But it gets bigger ’til your hopes is always
Running, running, running
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody of who could be strong
Tell me if I’m wrong
And now I’m pulling your disguise up
Are you free or are you tied up
I change shapes just to hide in this place but I’m still I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip
I’m still an animal
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I’m still, I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
I’m still an animal
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I’m still, I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
I’m still an animal
I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I’m still, I’m still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip, yeah I slip
I’m still an animal
