Discussion on Three days grace song The animal I have become
Lyrics
I can’t escape this hell
So many times i’ve tried
But i’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
So what if you can see the dark inside of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
I can’t escape myself
So many times i’ve lied
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Some what if you can see the dark inside of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)
So what if you can see the dark inside of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
this animal i have become

“Villains with a conscience have this sad realization of who they are, and the monster they’ve become — there’s a sense of regret. So at the end of these movies there’s a dramatic resonance that really stays with the audience.” —Thomas Haden Church (who played the part) on Sandman in Spiderman – 3
