Animals (Commentary)

Joachim Speidel:

"Animals" was a cool track because the writing is very not conventional as well. We looked at human beings without like all the social constructs.

Stuart Brookes:

Yeah, and how if you, if you strip away all that stuff, we're just these, you know, animals, who are these animals with just our basic instincts for survival. You know, we're fighting each other, there's none of those societal rules and things like that.

Joachim:

Yeah, and then we basically exploit the planet, so to speak, for our own benefit and thеn when things go wrong, we turn a blind eyе, basically. It's like, one of the lines was, "We never learn our lesson."

Stuart:

Yeah, we see, we keep making the same mistakes, we see the same, you know, things pop up, but we just keep going and ignore them.

Joachim:

Yeah, it's a very, like, primal song and we added these like, "Ay oh, oh-oh", like little like vocal chants in the drop. And that was like–

Stuart:

Just like crowd mentality kind of thing.

Joachim:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's like the thing that we wanted, like, crowds to be able to sing along, but also give it this more like, tribe, kind of vibe.

Stuart:

Yeah.
