The Animal I Have Become

*Note: I wrote this blog in October but couldn’t post it because of Horrorfest III. I am aware that things have changed on Supernatural, but I wanted to leave it the exact same way I wrote it.*

I thought this would be a great opening to a great song:

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

This song is amazing. It has these chords that constantly run through your mind. The music is almost like a pulse and so hypnotic. It bugs me that I can’t explain better how much I love this song.  I just LOVE IT!

This song was created by the extremely handsome Adam Gontier.

He’s so attractive that I can’t help flashing his picture every time I talk about his talents. Anyways he wrote the song while he was in rehab for his addiction to OxyContin (a pain medication). He wrote it as he felt that he was losing himself during the addiction. He stated that “he had become abusive and angry and had no idea who he was anymore.”

It was super popular when it came out, being number one for over 7 weeks. Some of you might recall from an earlier post that my ex-boyfriend had lent this CD to me. Well I knew of Three Days Grace long before that because of this song and Pain; the two most popular of the album.

The music video is also amazing. He has this crazy, wild, black beast that he is trying to fight and overcome. It’s crazy!!! And it reminds us:

And that “Wild Thing” isn’t always good.

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 darkest side 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, this animal)

I can’t escape myself
(I can’t escape myself)
So many times i’ve lied
(So many times i’ve lied)
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side 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 have become
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 darkest side 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 have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)

And now with Dean having become a Demon (sad I know) on Supernatural, the song makes me think of him.
