Animal
Minimalist electro-pop fused with alternative R&B; the foundation is a hypnotic looping piano riff over a deep synth bass and relentless four-on-the-floor beat. Stark, processed vocals flow intimately atop glitchy synth textures, tension rising through layers until a cathartic, harmonically rich finale.

Lyrics
(Intro)
Waking shape... a foreign room...
Light bleeds in, a chemical bloom...
The phone's alive... a cold blue truth...
(Verse)
Woke up in my clothes, that's a bad sign
Taste like ancient dust and cheap red wine
Light from the window stabs like an old grudge
My skull feels like a drum that a tired roadie has to judge
I made big promises last night, felt so profound
Now I'm just searching for a piece of solid ground
Yeah, I was so clever, had the perfect take on it all
Now I can't even look at my own face on the wall.
(Pre-Chorus)
And the screen of my phone is a hole in the sky
Reflecting the image of some other guy
Was I a prophet? Was I a king? Was I a fake?
For every single promise that I was born to break...
(Chorus)
There is an animal, living in the dark of me
Comes out to dance when I don't wanna see
And I say "never again," yeah, I swear it on my life
Then the phone buzzes "Friday?" and it sharpens up the knife
Yeah, there is an animal, crying from a broken cage
It writes the lines and I just turn the page
And I'm tired of the fever, but I'm terrified of the cure
'Cause the animal is the only thing that's pure
(Is it pure? Is it pure? Tell me is it pure?)
(Verse 2)
Okay, wait, put it together, see the flashes in the black
Obvious evidence of a planned attack
On my own damn sanity, a stranger with my name
Sent a hymn out to my boss to try and explain the rain
My search history's a poem that I don't know how to read
Planted a hundred dollars just to watch it grow a weed
Am I generous or am I just another failed wanna be?
It’s a beautiful disaster, it's a brutal little scene, woo!
(Pre-Chorus)
And the screen of my phone is a hole in the sky
Reflecting the image of some other guy
Was I a monster? Was I a saint? Was I the cure?
Just a whisper in the static, so damn insecure...
(Chorus)
There is an animal, living in the dark of me
Comes out to dance when I don't wanna see
And I say "never again," yeah, I swear it on my life
Then the phone buzzes "Friday?" and it sharpens up the knife
Yeah, there is an animal, crying from a broken cage
It writes the lines and I just turn the page
And I'm tired of the fever, but I'm terrified of the cure
'Cause the animal is the only thing that's pure
(Is it pure? Is it pure? Tell me is it pure?)
(Bridge)
Maybe I'm afraid of the silence
So I fill it up with violence...
Maybe I just need the chaos to feel
Like any single part of this shit is real...
They say to find your center, but my center is a spinning light
And the morning's just the price I pay for winning at the night...
Is that a crazy way to think in 2025?
To need the fall just to remember that you're still alive?
(Final Chorus)
There is an animal, living in the dark of me!
Comes out to dance when I don't wanna see!
And I say "never again," yeah, I swear it on my life!
Then the phone buzzes "Friday?" and it sharpens up the knife!
Yeah, there is an animal, crying from a broken cage!
It writes the lines and I just turn the page!
And I'm tired of the fever, but I'm terrified of the cure!
'Cause the animal is the only thing that's pure!
(Outro)
Changing my shape again...
(Tell me is it pure?)
Changing my shape again...
(Living in the dark of me)
Changing my shape again...
(Tell me is it pure?)
Changing my shape...
