Andrew Ripp's 'Animal' is an energetic song about breaking free from fear and embracing a new, empowered life. The lyrics describe taking troubles to a riverside and coming alive, symbolizing a spiritual or personal renewal. The repeated declaration 'nothing is impossible' and the resolve to never go back or give up convey a message of hope and determination. The song's imagery of running like an animal suggests a wild, unrestrained freedom. While not explicitly Christian, the themes of overcoming fear and finding strength resonate with faith-based encouragement.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've been no stranger to these faces
Fear is a monster; it's so relentless
Keep having dreams of breaking walls down
I see them crumbling; the sky is endless
I took my troubles to the riverside
I drank the water and I came alive
My heart is beating like an animal
Oh, nothing is impossible
I'm never going back again; I'm never giving up
Load up the guns; I'm gonna run like an animal
Wide open spaces
No limitations; it's like a first kiss
I'm made for running with the horses
Don't try to stop me; you know it's pointless
I took my troubles to the riverside
I drank the water and I came alive
My heart is beating like an animal
Oh, nothing is impossible
I'm never going back again; I'm never giving up
Load up the guns; I'm gonna run like an animal
Stronger than I've ever been before
There is so much more inside of me
My lungs are filling up
Must be something in the air I breathe
That puts the fire in me
I cannot get enough
(Mountain high; valley low)
(I'm gonna run wherever I go)
(All I see, all I know)
(I'm gonna run wherever I go) Mountain high
(Mountain high; valley low) Valley low
(I'm gonna run wherever I go) I'm gonna run
(All I see, all I know)
(I'm gonna run wherever I go) I'm gonna run
My heart is beating like an animal
Oh, nothing is impossible
I'm never going back again; I'm never giving up
I'm never going back again; I'm never giving up
I'm never going back again; I'm never giving up
Load up the guns; I'm gonna run like an animal
