I have listened to this song hundreds of times since it was released, but it just struck me that optimism is a purely human phenomenon. The ability to anticipate future events is typically considered something animals are not capable of. At least in part, I think this song is a warning to not let the human in you die and allow the animal to take over. If that happens, then humans as a whole are simply dinosaurs roaming the earth.
