Katy Perry roar is about the females and males in our species experimenting with a new social order. In the old order males were the leaders and females were the followers. But Katy is singing about a certain male, who although she spits on as "her enemy" who pushed her past the breaking point, in the long run, that one man was giving the steering wheel in her head back to her. In the past men never did this because it's preferable for women to be not in control so that your civilization can out-breed the enemy. If the woman doesn't want to have lots of kids then it doesn't matter, they don't decide those things. Women want to have more equality and power and control, and they're beginning to realize that it takes a lot of fight to get there and you have to choose the path where nobody helps you. In this world men are expected to persevere and deal with hardship while women not. These roles are reversing for better or worse. In many species the females are much more violent than the males, so perhaps we may need to re-learn that the number of wars we experience now won't be anything compared to when the females have their finger on the 'kill um all' button. The end of the video, where she "wins" and tames the lions. Is she prepared to do battle with the next ones? Only time will tell how this strategy plays out over the next few hundred years.
