Lyrics
Zoo
Look at the animals Trapped in their cage Look at the animals Bubbling with rage
They’re huffing and fighting They’re yelling and griping They’re shoving and biting It’s so uninviting
Look at the animals Trapped in their cage Look at the animals Bubbling with rage
They don’t even listen A self-imposed prison Such short-sighted vision With non-stop divisions
Look at the animals Trapped in their cage Look at the animals Bubbling with rage
Comments
Very well written. Zoo in life of people being in cages. Strong concept and delivery. I hope to hear your singing and playing.
Great use of an extended metaphor to comment on the craziness of these times. Flows well.
Do you speak French? I’m pretty sure that la rage means rabies, and foaming at the mouth is one of the indicators that a wild animal has rabies. Bubbling with rage seems like a good turn of phrase
Politics seems to be on the minds of many people these days and your approach here is great. I can picture the animals shaking the cages, going crazy, particularly the monkeys. I hope you can get some music for this.
Nice work. And content-wise, we're on the same page! ;)
Great metaphorical writing. I could hear this as a hard rock song. This is well-written. Nice work!
