The song's use of metaphors and evocative imagery to describe a passionate relationship can be a great way to learn more nuanced and poetic language.

[English]
Hiding awayTurned into pray
Like we're animals
Yeah, we're loving like we're animals
We know it's too late
I'm bleeding but it feels right
Hunting the game
We're flying through the night like we're animals
Yeah, we're loving like we're animals
We're not here to break no hearts, just let it go
'Cause every single touch don't mean a thing
And every time you're calling out my name
We know that it's just not to be alone
'Cause every single touch don't mean a thing
And every time you're calling out my name
We know that it's just not to be alone
We're loving like we're animals
Like, like we're animals (we're animals)
An-an-animals (an-an-animals)
Like we're animals (like we're animals)
Under my skin, it's killing us but it feels right
I'm ready to sin, baby, take a bite like we're animals
Yeah, we're loving like we're animals
We're not here to break no hearts, just let it go
'Cause every single touch don't mean a thing
And every time you're calling out my name
We know that it's just not to be alone
'Cause every single touch don't mean a thing
And every time you're calling out my name
We know that it's just not to be alone
We're loving like we're animals
Like, like we're animals (we're animals)
An-an-animals (an-an-animals)
Like we're animals (we're animals)
Save your sorrows
Save them for tomorrow
'Cause in the wild we know
'Cause every single touch don't mean a thing
And every time you're calling out my name
We know that it's just not to be alone
'Cause every single touch don't mean a thing ('cause every single touch)
And every time you're calling out my name
We know that it's just not to be alone
We're loving like we're animals
Like, like we're animals (we're animals)
An-an-animals (an-an-animals)
Like we're animals (we're animals)
