I feel like this song is written about being in the midst of a depression, where you really only feel like a bare animal and not a human capable of processing thoughts and emotions. So instead of enjoying life and the full spectrum of human emotion, the singer feels numb and robotic. It also feels like the singer is going through a personal awakening because of a recent breakup, and she's learning more about herself and the way her emotions affect her, possibly questioning her own humanity in the midst of it all.
