i am in love with what we are
not what we should be.
and i am, i am starstruck.
with every part of this whole story.
so if it's just tonight,
the animal inside, let it live and die.
like it's the end of time,
like everything inside, let it live and die.
this is our last chance
to give me your hand.
cuz our world is spinning at the speed of light.
the night is fading,
heart is racing.
now just come and love me like you're gonna die.
i'm not asleep,
i'm up for the fight.
into the magic.
and i don't want the concrete,
i am alive; comes with the tragic.
so if it's just tonight,
the animal inside, let it live and die.
this is our last chance
to give me your hand.
cuz our world is spinning at the speed of light.
the night is fading,
heart is racing.
now just come and love me like you're gonna die
love like you're gonna die.
this is our last chance
to give me your hand.
cuz our world is spinning at the speed of light.
the night is fading,
heart is racing.
now just come and love me like you're gonna die
not what we should be.
and i am, i am starstruck.
with every part of this whole story.
the animal inside, let it live and die.
like it's the end of time,
like everything inside, let it live and die.
to give me your hand.
cuz our world is spinning at the speed of light.
heart is racing.
now just come and love me like you're gonna die.
i'm up for the fight.

i am alive; comes with the tragic.
the animal inside, let it live and die.
to give me your hand.
cuz our world is spinning at the speed of light.
heart is racing.

heart is racing.
now just come and love me like you're gonna die

This truly is a beautiful song. I think what it's about is pretty simple. being in love, and knowing that nothing lasts forever, when she says "let it live and die" she's telling this boy to love her now, because you're not alive forever.
` This is one of her nicest songs (: it's about being in love && knowing nothing lasts forever . that's why she says 'so if it's just tonight, the animal inside, let it live and die.' she's saying just let it all out before out time ends . x
I think this is about journey of life or a terminal disease experiencer.

"The Author" is Ke$ha herself... she has written all of her own music. Just thought I should tell you

personally i can relate to this song so much. her lyrics are very motivating and inspiring. to me its simply about love, shes in love with this guy who is so right for her in all the wrong ways. she loves the crazyness of their relationship, and how she wants it over what they "should" be
"i am in love with what we are, not what we should be"
shes saying that nothing last forever, but just for this one night she would like one more chance
"this is our last chance, give me your hand"
shes saying that the night is going by too fast and they need to releash the inner animal and they need to embrace it and just love eachother like its the last time they will ever love again
" so if its just tonight the animal inside, let it live and die like its the end of time so just come and love me like were gunna die"
i think this song is so beautiful
I heard this song the day after the love of my life broke up w/ me. I was hanging out with my friends, they had taken me to a club and it came on. I cried right in the middle of the dance floor. I have loved this song ever since. Every time I hear it i tear up. It is so sad and I wished I had heard this song before he broke up with me, so it could have helped me tell him how I feel about him. Maybe it is just a lesson I had to learn the hard way. ily Z!
i don't really like kesha, but i love this song. to me it means to just live in the moment and take chances while you can :)
Simply about being in love and embracing it.
The other side of Kesha.
