Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
It's the animal instinct in me [Repeat x2]
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
It's the animal instinct in me [Repeat x2]

he basically dated me for his selfish reasons..
he was getting over his ex.. who seemed ideal.. perfect..
:| he saw some of her in me......
and i cant believe i cant get over him.
To me, this song is about going by my animal instincts even though I might doubt them. And currently, all I need is to abide by them.
We will change reality"
Nice :)
I don't know if that is what she's refering too, but it's my interpretion.
It's when you just KNOW some things that go on in your lives. It's when you know what he/she thinks, when you know what's going to happen, you are so connected to this person, you can feel whatever he feels..
It can also describe mother/child relationship.
And so they are on the run and she is praying they wont catch her and take them away.
so yes i think its about a mother protecting her young as some of you said.
thx alot for the comment. i think i get it now. i think i no wat ur talking about wen u say - "it's just that love between a mother and a child is so intense that she's terrified every moment that somehow she'll lose her baby. it's irrational in many ways. " -. i can relate it to my mom..omG..lsnn to this song after reading ur comment really makes a huge difference in the way i feel it...
All the best raising up ur baby and njoy ur animal instinc ;)
