Animal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are the victim
The victim of my love
I dangle up on rooftops
Before I push you off
I stand at the headlights
Looking for a corner where I can't be found
With a goddess in my right eye
Watching every lover on the battleground

[Pre-Chorus]
You're hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle
If I am alone
Make me a stranger
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)

[Chorus]
I'm an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal

Hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)

[Verse 2]
Isolation makes me hungry
Will you stay here till I sleep?
You'll return home in the morning

But you never really leave
I keep the memories alive
The weight upon my shoulders felt so divine

With a goddess in my right eye
Watching every step I take before I die
[Pre-Chorus]
You're hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle
If I am alone
Make me a stranger
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)

[Chorus]
I'm an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal
Hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)

[Post-Chorus]
I become an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal

[Bridge]
Let me become an animal
Let me become an animal
'Cause when you are an animal
You lose control

[Pre-Chorus]
You're hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle
If I am alone
You make me a stranger
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)
[Chorus]
I'm an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal
I become an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal
Hunting for love
Killing for pleasure
Lost in a concrete jungle (He-lay)

[Outro]
I'm an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal
I become an animal, animal
Hunting for an animal, animal (Ho, ho)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Released on January 24, 2019, “Animal” is the first single from her album, A Different Kind of Human (Step II).

It was first teased on January 21, where a snippet of the song was sent to those subscribed in her messenger. More was revealed on the 22nd when she sent 6 different other snippets of the instrumental randomly to those in the messenger, leaving it to them to piece it together.

On Instagram, Aurora writes: “ANIMAL for me is a very ironical song. It’s raw because we are raw, it’s sensual because nature is sensual. It’s wrong and strange because the world is wrong and strange. It’s free because we should be free. There is a lot of things I hate about us, (next to all the things I love) and part of me hate the industrial part of the music industry. And that is exactly why the song had to sound the way it did. Because it’s a way for me to make. A bit fun of it. Still Aurora, but with elements form that world. For me, It amplifies the irony in all of it. The world we all have mixed feelings about. Because it’s so easy to show people something horrible, something deep and we still choose what we want to see. And that is the must fun thing with it all.”

I love you all so much 🌿🦚🧡 it’s so amazing to see how well you a understand that I do not belong in a box. And neither do you. You are all just how you want to be today. Tomorrow may be different. 🌿🦚🔮 it’s all making me feel very alive, and excited. Because you have no idea how different my next step is. And that. That excites me – a lot. ANIMAL for me is a very ironical song. It’s raw because we are raw, it’s sensual because nature is sensual. It’s wrong and strange because the world is wrong and strange. It’s free because we should be free. There is a lot of things I hate about us, (next to all the things I love) and part of me hate the industrial part of the music industry. And that is exactly why the song had to sound the way it did. Because it’s a way for me to make. A bit fun of it. Still Aurora, but with elements form that world. For me, It amplifies the irony in all of it. The world we all have mixed feelings about. Because it’s so easy to show people something horrible, something deep and we still choose what we want to see. And that is the must fun thing with it all. You are all apart of this strange world, and we have so much lovely things to do. But I cannot continue before I really acknowledge all the things we can change – and that is a big thing for me. Of course – focuses on the positive. But see all the negative and know that you can do something about it. We can do so much. Again, I will go and celebrate with some tea. And rice puffs covered in chocolate. I love you all. I would not be here without you.
