Animals

The song 'Animals' by Robots In Disguise delves into the primal and instinctual aspects of human behavior, particularly in the context of nightlife and romantic pursuits. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of individuals preparing for a night out, likening their actions to those of animals in the wild. The opening lines describe a woman in her 'birthday suit,' preening and preparing for a night of 'breeding,' while a man sees himself as a 'stray beast' in the mirror, shaving and getting ready to 'go out on the mating.' This metaphorical language highlights the raw, animalistic nature of their intentions and actions.

The song continues to explore these themes through its portrayal of nightlife interactions. The man, described as a 'cool cat' in skintight jeans, is on the prowl, asking a woman what she's drinking. The woman, on the other hand, is a 'hot b*tch' with a catwalk sway, pouncing and asking if her potential partner is dancing. These descriptions emphasize the predatory and instinct-driven behaviors that often characterize human interactions in social settings, particularly those involving attraction and desire.

The chorus, 'I'm an animal, you're an animal, Animals, are you fit for the kill?' reinforces the idea that beneath the veneer of civilization, humans are driven by the same primal instincts as animals. The song's energetic and provocative lyrics, combined with its pulsating rhythm, create a sense of urgency and rawness that mirrors the themes of instinct and desire. Robots In Disguise use these metaphors to comment on the often unspoken but universally understood aspects of human nature, making 'Animals' a compelling exploration of the wild side of human behavior.
