Animal I Have Become Lyrics

Cover art for Animal I Have Become lyrics by Three Days Grace

He's tried to deny his darker impulses. He wants to avoid letting his anger drive him; he wants to deny his impulses for revenge and quell the rage that he feels inside of himself. He has tried to deal with some ever-present problem that plagues him but can't win no matter how much he tries. He doesn't want to believe that he's being driven to the darkside.

But then when he says, "So what if you can see the darkest side of me?" he is, in effect, letting his dark side shine through. He is obeying his impulses. They're taking control of him DURING the song and he's telling everyone "fuck you, I don't care if you judge me" even though he himself occilates between wanting to deal with his problems and letting his animal urges take control of him, since that seems to be the simplest, most efficient way to deal with things. The rage he feels empowers and fuels the "animal" he feels he is becoming.

That's exactly what I feel when I hear this song. You are definitely right. Everyone has a monster inside! Great Song!

Idiot. It's about addiction.

@HatedEnemy Do you know why he wrote this song?
