[Intro] [Verse 1] Somebody’s screaming out Somebody’s knocking out Somebody’s calling out come hear it again Street bells are ringing out Young girls are singing out Boys are building up to be men You’ve got the love Then here comes the blood last The father the mother the sister the chain Sweet inspirations Or a cold hearted nations baby The young man the brothers the killers explain [Chorus] Oh Jungleland They call you home sweet home You make me feel so sad to leave here all alone But there is a kid called Hope And he’s holding out his hand He sees the Northern Lights Above this highrise land Oh Jungleland Oh Jungleland Oh Jungleland [Verse 2] In the city get out the city pretty quick I’ve got a prayer I wanna sing it to you Here little children forget the wild things But no one listens cause nobody cares When you’ve got the love drugs And you’ve got the long nights You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven Here comes summer here comes violence Over your shoulder the soul boy explains [Chorus] Oh Jungleland They call you home sweet home You make me feel so sad to leave here all alone But there is a kid called Hope And he’s holding out his hand He sees the Northern Lights Above the highrise land [Bridge] But blood is thicker than water But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands Unto the Devil a daughter When my love sings it’s an angel song she sings it [Instrumental] [Prechorus] Don’t look back never look back Don’t look back never look back Don’t look back never look back Don’t look back never look back Don’t look back never look back Don’t look back never look back Don’t look back [Chorus] Oh Jungleland You make me feel so sad To leave here all alone Oh Jungleland You make me feel so sad [Outro] You got the love drugs You got the long nights You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven You got the love drugs You got the long nights You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven You got the love drugs You got the long nights You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven You got the love drugs You got the long nights You got the heartbeat that come on take me away Aah! Come on to take me away [FADE OUT]

La chanson parle d'une ville, un endroit à la fois vibrant et désolant, où l'on perçoit des cris et des rêves perdus. Elle évoque les contrastes de la vie urbaine, entre les espoirs d'une jeunesse pleine de promesses et les réalités souvent difficiles de la violence et de la solitude. Il est question d'une quête d'amour, d'espoir et d'évasion, incarnée par un enfant qui tend la main et qui rêve de jours meilleurs. Le contexte renvoie à une réflexion sur la société moderne, où les défis et les désillusions coexistent avec des souvenirs d'innocence et de joie. Dans ce paysage, le cœur humain aspire à une connexion profonde, même face à l’adversité. C'est une peinture de la lutte humaine, où la lumière de l'espoir brille malgré l'obscurité ambiante.
