The Animal Lyrics

I agree with the werewolf theory 100% because how can i refute what the guy who wrote it said. lol But i also kind of feel that the theory about a werewolf can easily be related to someone who is extremely angry to the point of no control. Imagine a large male in this instance who feels a need to be violently aggresive and is always feeling it like a drug. Possibly the origin of the werewolf in mythology (even though im probably dead wrong) and so the werewolf becomes a part of movies like underworld and then into pop culture like "The Animal" But this is just my thoughts on the whole thing in general :) Great song nevertheless.

Song Meaning

On one episode of C.S.I. (Las Vegas), Gil Grissom says that "werewolf" has its roots in an Old English word for "serial killer", if I recall correctly. (C.S.I. has gotten things wrong before, so I can't say for sure that I believe it. I do find it a little hard to believe that the concept would have existed when the dialect was spoken.)
