- Manimal Lyrics

I'm trying to be civilized and need you girl to realize,
My higher mind runs counter to my procreative self.
Although it's not my doing, nature has it's way insuring
That the species will be fruitful, no matter how I try to fight it.

God's the one who made me like this- understand I'm innocent.
The drive is stronger than I am- I'm just a man, I'm just a man.

She means nothing to me, I swear.
I'm just pulled in two directions by the male condition.
There's no excuses, only reasons for what has brought us here.
I need to make it clear, so you can understand.
It's part of nature's plan. I'm just a man, I'm just a man.

It's hard to do the right thing, the hormones screaming,
Pleading- with the need to seed and no relief because there's always more.
One hundred million daily, manufactured and ready for the journey to conception.
Not unlike a loaded gun.

God's the one who made me like this- understand I'm innocent.
The drive is stronger than I am- I'm just a man, I'm just a man.

She means nothing to me, I swear.
I'm just pulled in two directions by the male condition.
There's no excuses, only reasons for what has brought us here.
I need to make it clear, so you can understand.
It's part of nature's plan. I'm just a man, I'm just a man...

What is the meaning behind Manimal lyrics?


When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Manimal by The Vandals examines the inner struggle between society's demands and one's primal urges, and portrays the latter using the image of a 'loaded gun' signifying the never-ending and strong urge for reproduction. The main components of the lyrics in Manimal are nature, reflection, angst, social commentary and spirituality. At the same time, the song highlights the significance of biological determinism, internal conflict, hormonal influence and innocence and justification. The lyrics talk about mature topics that touch on human biology and natural instincts, thus probably not being suitable for young listeners. The vocabulary used is quite blunt in talking about biological processes and instincts, thus making the song possibly too powerful for the general audience.
