Jingo Jungle

Myth & Roid's 'Jingo Jungle' is a powerful and intense song that delves into the primal instincts of survival and the inherent violence within human nature. The repeated phrase 'I will not hold off' sets the tone for a relentless and unyielding approach to life, where there is no room for hesitation or retreat. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where escape is impossible ('Don't run away 逃げ場はない') and where the only option is to confront the chaos head-on.

The song's chorus, 'ウィーオールアーザジンゴーズ オー オー オー' (We are all the jingoes), suggests a collective identity rooted in aggression and a predatory nature. The use of the word 'jingo' evokes a sense of extreme nationalism and belligerence, further emphasizing the theme of conflict and survival. The jungle metaphor ('ウィーアーインザジャングル') reinforces the idea of a brutal, dog-eat-dog world where only the strongest survive. This imagery is heightened by the call to 'sharpen your fangs' and compete in a deadly game of survival.

The lyrics also explore the darker aspects of human nature, such as the pleasure derived from domination and cruelty ('なぶりたおす味を舐めては'). The song suggests that these violent tendencies are not just a part of the animal kingdom but are intrinsic to human behavior as well. The line 'くいつくすのは けものよりひとのさが' (devouring is more human than beastly) underscores this point, highlighting the inherent savagery within us all. The song's relentless energy and aggressive tone serve as a stark reminder of the primal instincts that drive us, even in a modern world.
