Intro :(x2) We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees We are blisters on the earth We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds In the meadow And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves When we don't want to live alone So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes And be born again [Refrain :] Pretend that you're alone now And everything's gone Just animal reflex There's no one looking on Forget about fashion Forget about the law Pretend that you're alone now I wonder what I'd do, if I could wake up every morning With a clean slate I'd burn through the cities, I'd tear through the towns Cos there's no deals to make So break out of the cages, the delicate structures We cling to all our lives Cos we are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees When we were trying to fly Pretend that you're alone now And everything's gone Just primal desire No right and no wrong Forget about the future Forget about blame Pretend that you're alone now Pretend that you're alone now Instrumental :| | She's not waiting for tomorrow And she has no love in her eyes Oh no, I wanna come down right now But oh no, I wanna get out right now Pretend that you're alone now And everything's gone Just animal reflex There's no one looking on Forget about religion Forget about shame Pretend that you're alone now No numbers in your phone now There's nothing going on Just primal desire No right and no wrong Forget about fashion Forget about fame Pretend that you're alone now Pretend that you're alone now Pretend that you're alone now

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de solitude et de retour aux instincts primaires de l'être humain. Elle aborde le besoin de se libérer des contraintes sociales et des attentes extérieures, invitant à une forme de renaissance personnelle loin des jugements. Il est question de vivre l’instant présent, de se détacher du passé et des préoccupations futures pour retrouver une connexion authentique avec soi-même. Dans ce contexte, elle semble aussi explorer les luttes internes que l’on traverse en essayant de trouver sa place dans le monde. C'est une invitation à abandonner les faux-semblants et à se confronter à sa vraie nature, malgré les difficultés.
