Animal Secret (feat. JoBo Gamer)

Autumn J's song 'Animal Secret (feat. JoBo Gamer)' delves into the concept of therianthropy, a belief or feeling that one is spiritually or mentally connected to an animal. The lyrics express a deep sense of freedom and euphoria that comes from embracing this animalistic side. The repeated references to feeling high and free suggest a transcendental experience, where the protagonist feels liberated from the constraints of their human form. This duality of being both human and animal is a central theme, highlighting the struggle and joy of living with this unique identity.

The song uses vivid imagery to convey the physical sensations of this transformation. Lines like 'I could feel my ears, my nose and my feet' and 'I can feel my paws in the mud' paint a picture of a person who is deeply in tune with their animal side. The midnight setting, with the moon reflecting on the trees, adds a mystical and almost primal atmosphere to the narrative. This setting amplifies the sense of freedom and connection to nature that the protagonist feels, further emphasizing the theme of escape from societal norms and expectations.

However, the song also touches on the isolation and misunderstanding that can come with this identity. Phrases like 'Euphoria, but I'm a freak' and 'This body I'm trapped in' reveal a sense of being out of place in the human world. Despite the joy and freedom that come with embracing their animal side, there is also a poignant longing for acceptance and understanding. This duality of euphoria and alienation makes 'Animal Secret' a compelling exploration of identity, freedom, and the human-animal connection.
