Three Days Grace – Animal I Have Become lyrics

Three Days Grace – Animal I Have Become lyrics

I can't escape this hell,
So many times I've tried,
But I'm still caged inside.
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself!

So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal!
(This animal, this animal)

I can't escape myself (I can't escape myself),
So many times I've lied (so many times I've lied),
But there's still rage inside.
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself!

So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become!
Help we believe.
It's not the real me,
Somebody help me tame this animal!

Somebody help me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself!
Somebody wake me from this nightmare,
I can't escape this hell!
(This Animal)
(This Animal)
(This Animal)
(This Animal)
(This Animal)
(This Animal)
(This Animal)

So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become!
Help me believe,
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal,
This animal I have become!

This song I think is about the darker sides of us all. He doesn't actually say what the animal is, just that it is inside us all.
I feel that it is an interpretation of all our inner demons. That we know they are there and fear when they are shown. We try to control them, but can't. It is not the way we want to be, but we can't change it. This dark trait will never go away, but we can't accept that it is part of us. No matter what anyone does, it will always show its ugly face.

I don't think this song has any one meaning in particular. You can look at it from a million different ways and still get the same thing: there's something about you that you wish wasn't part of you, and no one can really help you.
But I really love it. My little brother is one year old, and when we're in the car and he's screaming, we turn this song on and he shuts up. Lol. Xp.

This song is about doing bad things you know you shouldn't be doing but you can't seem so stop yourself ever from doing them. You know its not right but still you do it and in doing so you dig yourself a hole you can't get out of. And your inner self the one that was once good is gone now and your evil side has come out and taken over. I can really relate to this song because I act like this all the time and its so hard for me to change my ways.

In my opinion the song is about someone who wants to forget something about their past but no matter how hard they try it's almost impossible, and it's due to that past event it shaped who they are and it's pushing those they care about away (lovers, family, friends. Ect) over all amazing song it's got a deep meaning.

This song to me describes the living hell of suffering with mental illness, you lose control of yourself and do things you never thought you would be capable of doing - to yourself and other people. This song is like someone has gone through a suicide attempt ( "I cant escape this hell, so many times I've tried") and has lost grip on their self control and feel like a monster, an animal. Just like in the video where he smashes up the bar, some people get psychosis and lose grip completely and see monsters in themselves and the people around them.

I love this song. I think its about how, all of us, ever single person, good or bad, has a dark side. An evil side. I mean, for those of you who has seen the vampire diaries, damon is that way, stefan is, and when tyler becomes a werewolf, he is that way too. Hell, even klaus is that way. We all have a dark side in us. An evil side.
