Here we go again
I kinda want to be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid you're never satisfied
Here we go again
We're sick like animals, we play pretend
You're just a cannibal and I'm afraid I won't get out alive
No, I won't sleep tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's getting heavy and I want to run and hide
I want to run and hide
I do it every time
You're killin' me now
And I won't be denied by you
The animal inside of you
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Hush, hush, the world is quiet
Hush, hush, we both can't fight it
It's us that made this mess
Why can't you understand?
Whoa, I won't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tonight
Here we go again
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting?
(Here we go again)
(Here we go again)
(Here we go again)
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
About This Song
"Animal" is a darkly seductive electro-rock anthem that explores the dangerous allure of toxic relationships through vivid predator-prey metaphors. The song captures the intoxicating cycle of desire and destruction, with lyrics depicting romantic partners as cannibalistic creatures who consume each other emotionally while being unable to break free from their destructive pattern. Musically, it features Neon Trees' signature blend of new wave synths, driving rock rhythms, and Tyler Glenn's urgent vocals that perfectly convey the song's themes of obsession and desperation. The track stands out for its bold use of animalistic imagery to examine how passion can strip away human civility, making it one of the band's most memorable explorations of love's darker impulses. Its infectious energy and provocative themes helped establish it as a defining song in Neon Trees' catalog, showcasing their ability to craft catchy yet emotionally complex alternative rock.
