[@postmortem7581]

This song is based on The Island of Dr. Moreau, a book by H. G. Wells, who also wrote War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man. It is a book about animals being surgically transformed into humans, and after the doctor who maintains their humanity dies, they begin to revert back into the animals as which they began, gaining their primal urges back as well as they lose the part of them that remembers the rules imposed upon them by the doctor. The humanised animals were unable to smile and the doctor who had "vivisected" them, as the book says, had difficulty giving them proper hands and feet. At the end of the book, when the protagonist returns to civilisation, his trauma causes him to suspect all of humanity, even himself, to possibly be these vivisected animals. Edit: Terribly sorry about the run-on sentences. Not sure how better to structure this. Also, Oingo Boingo's No Spill Blood is about the same book, but has a much different musical tone.

[@3CA1]

Years later and this song still gives the most immaculate vibes.

[@NotTimSoStopAsking]

I know the common association with this song is The Island of Doctor Moreau, but it also reminds me of Frankenstein. The line about "five fingers to black hooves" can be related back to how, when introduced to the idea of God and creation, Frankenstein's monster sees himself in Lucifer more than in Adam. Later on the line "And my bones go cold, when I see that room" can be related back to the monster's "upbringing", spying on/learning from the human inhabitants of a small (presumably one room) cottage through cracks in the walls, learning to love and later hate that cottage because of the people living inside it. To me, this sounds the way the confrontation between Victor and the monster in the mountains sounds- the monster introducing Victor to his "zoo" of dysfunctional emotions, experiences and ideas about humans and society, an amalgam of human knowledge and philosophy without any actual humanity behind the application. (This MAY be a reach, though.)

I did some digging and found that this song is loosely based off a book and the story of this "crooked man" and the "boy" is quite chilling yet sad. So let's look at the meaning in each line: Put your hand down boy - you the listener is the "boy", and are also confused as to where you are or how you got there Welcome to my zoo - the location is a type of attraction/freak show Put your head inside My big black wild - he is letting you in his head, to tell you his thoughts while I can still help you - you may be in some form of danger See the snake baboon Funky, chic and smooth - inhabitants of this "zoo" are of a peculiar type Honey can you spy - you should be on guard The divine ape-swine - these animals are chimeras, a combination of two different species Cause he can see you - it's actually you who are being watched and not the other way around I’m a man, I’m a twisted fool - He's claiming to be a man My hands are twisted too - but his physical appearance is warped and twisted into something else Five fingers to black hooves - a faun type of creature I’m a man - the creature insists he's a man again he and does so repeatedly in the chorus almost like he's trying to convince himself or trying to prevent himself from forgetting it. don’t spin me a lie - He was lied to. Maybe this is why he's a "twisted fool" ? Got toes and I can smile - Trying to prove he can do "human" things. I’m crooked but upright - "crooked" is referring to his crooked physical appearance of half man/half beast. "but upright" shows that he's a actually an innocent person. And all I ever want is just a little love - "love" in this sense means to be recognized as a human being I said in purrs under the palms - he's now talking to the other members of this "zoo" now but in hushed purrs, trying to remain hidden under the palms - so he too is on guard for there are other bigger threats out there. And all I ever want is breaking me apart - the conflict in his mind is slowly driving him insane. I said to the thing that I once was - you, the "boy" is the thing that he once was. The human that he once was. To the left now boy - around the bend, in a hidden place Underneath the moon - this line signals that its at night but also a transition from the current time to a distant time in memory. By the thick tan sand And the tall thin grass - illustrates a type or eerie calmness. One more thing for you - we finally arrive at the revelation of why you are here. See the distant flume - you can actually see "it" approaching in the distance. In the sleepy dunes - sleepy dune because you may enter or leave this place while in a state of drunken stupor. possibly from being drugged and dragged there. Makes my nerves clench close And my bones go cold - this place strikes so much fear in him that the very sight chills him to the bone and makes his mind freeze in terror. When I see that room - that "room" is the place where he was first taken to, experimented on and was turned into a beast. This whole time he had been telling you that the inhabitants of this zoo are actually people who had been twisted and turned into animals. He had been losing his mind/humanity as he is struggling to remember who he was as a man. All this time, through a lulling melody, he's been guiding you to the very room where this all began to show you that the danger here is that you are next.

[@teclinsoro4523]

that’s such a good explanation, thank you!!

[@zenthiat2292]

Ohhhh interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@chloesibilla8199]

i mosty agree but there are some buts i think are still left up for interpretation. for one , it think two black hooves is referring to a goat , showing that he's "cloven hooved" . and 'dont spin me a lie' is also him insisting he's a human and you cant tell him otherwise. that last bit im unsure of with sleepy dunes , and the room being a place where the speaker was experimented on , but i love the story you wove from this song and i cant unhear it now.

[@Meccarox]

Thanks for the explanation.

[@loganschrader7568]

@Mae I'm a little late to this but maybe because he welcomes the boy to the zoo? And saying that they're watching him too.

[@amandamc6569]

ugh their music just makes you wanna do such bad ass shit. I wish their music was on breaking bad

[@ryleelewis9751]

originally Black Mambo was gonna be called Crystal Meth cuz he got some kind of inspiration from Breaking Bad. I read it in an article like right after Zaba came out!

[@aubreyalm0nd]

I freaking love this album. Got it for Christmas and couldn't be happier.

[@ConkShow]

i don't know why, but when i play this song. i imagine myself dressed up classy, driving a bmw down the highway at night.

[@AM-gf7zv]

+ConkShow I imagine the BMW drive itself and I own BMW :D

[@a.fakename1686]

I imagine a creepy American Horror Story style abandoned zoo with a child molestor luring children to their doom. THAT IS WHAT I GATHER FROM THE LYRICS

My wife introduced me to glass animals when we met in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with her and this band at the same time. Our wedding song was toes to dance to lol but it meant so much to us, our guests thought we were crazy. Nothing but love for glass animals

[@gisselleayala8092]

Am i crazy or are there eyes blinking in the letters?

[@sierrajade4587]

Definitely not crazy.

[@samricklovermore1206]

Dude all of Glass animals music is so strange but great;~; same with Alt-j honestly my favorite song by Glass animals is Poplar st! It's so good!

Skyler Mullins ah geez glass animals and alt j are my favorite bands but i think i prefer glass animals honestly

[@aquaittahlil8717]

What a creative comment section. One of my favorites. I've never commented this much before, trying something new. Looking for good, benevolent, and thought-provoking interaction

[@whitehorse8558]

Aquait Tahlil well, you'll find that here.

[@lettuceprime4922]

And neither one of them commented for another year

[@Setloth]

I know other people already mentioned it, but the Island of Doctor Moreau is a super intriguing book, and I think it’s worth the odd read. Plus you get to think more about the lyrics of this song.

[@SleepyWeasel]

Ok Ok... I admit it, it's one of them songs that get under your skin. This beat has the fluidity of a serpent gliding through the undergrowth. Nice.

[@slightly4374]

this song scares me so much. i kept thinking somebody was saying my name but im alone. it felt like somebody was watching me but at the same time i was completely lost in a jungle at in the dark and i keep hearing mysterious sounds. i got the feeling of somebody putting a knife up to my throat. Long story short, this terrifying tune gives me the feeling of certain death. amazing Edit: I posted this a year ago and wow I sound insane. I don’t remember the whole knife thing. I’m glad some people found this somewhat entertaining lol

[@hariscapo]

Glass Animals getting recognition lately... Ahhhh Taken 3 was so ahead of everyone :D

[@Mad.maiden.miriam]

Usually when a song reminds you of someone you don't want to think about, you change the song, but with this song, it's too good to never listen to again, even if it reminds me of the past

[@tysinbrazelljr7765]

You guys have to know what you where doing when composing these lyrics.. these sounds... leaves feeling that are other worldly. I am literally on full blown acid trip and this song is just inasane to say the least . The sounddss... just.. listen....

[@sandytorres8711]

I was heavily under the influence when i discovered glass animals too and i agree that they made this music specifically for psychedelic trips!! I couldnt get out of my chair that day i swear these songs lap danced on me and it made my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard

[@marjineptune5259]

Wait til it becomes real. Keep tripping! 😂

[@tianahayes7244]

[@ashlangarcia3325]

I can’t explain the feeling every time I hear this song.

[@scrappyknees]

Zaba is one of my favorite albums so far, it makes my mind feel like CRTV static. Just how music should

[@tasfiazahin7572]

Listening to this song reminds of the multiplicity of human personality and duality in human nature. People are grafted from different aspects of experience in their lives, but there always seems to be a balance: two sides of the same coin, almost always visible in himans. What you see in one person is the opposite elsewhere. The gentility of angels fade to warlike hysterics when in hell; its like this song just subtly tries to explain that humankind is something that it itself has yet to recognize; manmade but still a part of nature. Mechanical and organic. Damn this song makes you think.

[@AnahoretaAmbiverta]

"Taken 3" put it to my ear at first listening. ;) My repeat button is on fire now. :)

[@tommekkeuhh]

sounds like alt-j and that's a compliment ;)

[@NIKESTARTING11]

You could imagine my joy when I found out about Glass Animals yesterday on two geltabs. Holiest nearly dismantled my brain, Gooey turned me into pooh bear and Toes had me bring out my blacklight. Now I'm a couple bucks poorer but two albums richer. Astonishing sound.

This is? Such? A calming song? Like?? It's great??? Makes me so sleepy????

[@runawaysuccess8055]

Put your hand down, boy Welcome to my zoo Put your head inside My big black wild while I can still help you See the snake-baboon Funky, chic and smooth Honey can you spy The divine ape-swine 'Cause he can see you I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted, too Five fingers to black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright And all I ever want Is just a little love I said in purrs under the palms And all I ever want is breaking me apart I said to the thing that I once was I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers to black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright To the left now, boy Underneath the moon By the thick tan sand And the tall thin grass One more thing for you See the distant flume In the sleepy dunes Makes my nerves clench close And my bones go cold When I see that room And all I ever want Is just a little love I set in birds into the pond And all I ever want Is breaking me apart I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers, to black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright

watched taken 3 but knew it was them straight away from the opening credits. Such distinctive styles
