| Shakira – Animal City Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
In the first verse, she obviously singing about people receiving better treatment when they have fame and fortune. Then, she goes on to sing that she wants to prevent the "famous" person from getting a big head. In the chorus she goes on to say that people only look out for themselves and for ways to get ahead even if it means stepping on others. That's what she means by "Some are ready to bite you" "They believe you now have everything you wanted And once you have become a star You've got no right to bitch" These lines are about the general public. People think that celebrities have a perfect life and no room to complain. In the next three lines, she tells about how when a celebrity begins to fail or goes on a downward cycle, people will gossip and "feed" from that news. In the next lines she reassures the "famous" person; she tells him/her that they are not fake or "vain" like the other celebrities or industry insiders. Then, she tells of how cutthroat the industry is and that you need to earn your fame. This was at a time when people began to become famous for being famous. These people always lose their fame and/or respect quicker than people whose fame comes from their talent. Which makes this song relevant even now. The last verse is just about how she feels safe with her friend, who is still grounded. |
