Miike Snow – Animal

Posted: November 12th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: music | Tags: , | 1 Comment »

In addition to my recent classical music kick, I’m also really obsessed with Miike Snow right now, especially his song “Animal,” which I’m hearing all sorts of places. The song is creative and infectious, but the lyrics really speak to me, and I’m pretty sure it is because they are so gosh darn easy to relate to. Listen to it, you’ll love it. The video is really cool too.

Miike Snow – Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)
Miike Snow – Animal (Peter Bjorn & John Remix)


There was a time when my world was filled with darkness, darkness, darkness
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 to 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
Or 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

[Instrumental break:]

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 x2
