The song "Animal" by Hundred Waters tells a story of a person who is determined to find someone they care about, but faces many obstacles along the way. The first verse describes how the protagonist cannot walk because of a broken leg, but is still determined to find their loved one. They are willing to go to great lengths, even wading through 40 lakes. However, they face another obstacle when they find that their boat has been taken, along with their ability to speak (as their "tongue" was taken). The chorus is an invitation for someone to follow the protagonist and come inside (presumably to help them in their search). The repetition of "animal" seems to evoke a sense of primal urgency and desire. The second verse describes how the protagonist tries to reach their destination but encounters another obstacle - a closed door. They become frustrated and wonder how they will ever find their loved one. In the end, the protagonist resorts to using a blade to open the door and finally finds the person they were looking for. The song leaves many details open to interpretation, but overall it seems to be a tale of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity.
