- Tiger Lyrics

The city is a jungle, you better take care
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe it you better beware of me

I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner and try not to scream, it's me

I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
The city is a prison, you never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows and you'll see the shape, of me

I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights

I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

And if I meet you, what if I eat you, I am the tiger
I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
Tiger, tiger, tiger

What is the meaning behind Tiger lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, ABBA's song 'Tiger' conceives the tiger metaphorically as an urban just us presence of danger and to some extent with the resulting fear and feeling of being trapped in an unfriendly locale. The lyrics depict the city as a jungle, a nightmare, and a prison, thereby stressing the persisting impression of being hunted and not being able to flee from the threatening presence that is likened to the tiger with yellow eyes, which signifies the fear and danger that a person might face in the city. Tiger lyrics underline the main themes of an angst, despair, solitude, social commentary, and anxiety. On the other hand, the song accentuates fear and danger, predation and entrapment, and hopelessness. The lyrics bear the marks of fear and danger typical to a city setting and though the younger ones may not nicely relate the themes, they would surely benefit. However, there is nothing that might be considered as a strong deterrent for the very young to listen to the song like obscenities, nudity, and drug use at worst parental guidance its suitable for older kids.
