I am in love,
With what we are,
Not what we should be.
And I am,
I am starstruck.
With every part,
Of this whole story.
So if it's just tonight,
The animal inside,
Let it live and die.
Like it's the end of time,
Like everything inside,
Let it live and die.
This is our last chance,
In your hands
'Cause the world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come to love the life we're gonna die.
Oh oh [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kesha/animal.html ]
I'm not asleep, I'm up for the fight
Into the magic.
And I don't, want the concrete.
I am alive.
Comes with the tragic.
So if it's just tonight,
The animal inside,
Let it live and die.
This is our last chance, in your hands.
'Cause the world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come to love the life we're gonna die
Oh
Oh
Oh
This is our last chance, in your hands.
'Cause the world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come to love the life we're gonna die. Oh.
For me, i believe this song is about an awakening, or a calling to someone, asking them to at least live this night with them without constraint or fear. It about letting go of the fears and repercussions just to enjoy the moment and memory to come because life is short. Take risks and love.

I believe that the song animal is a metaphor expressing how a sexual relationship might have been for the artist. Many people can relate to this meaning because most people have sexual interactions like the lyrics in this song.

Unleash all your inside, live what you want to be, like an animal. What ever it takes, it takes. Live and death are just a second.
