英文歌曲：Animal Instinct《动物本能》小红莓

《动物本能》来自爱尔兰的小红莓乐队（The Cranberries）经典老歌，给父母之爱乃生物本能作的注解。一首歌就像在讲一个故事，理解背景才会理解歌词所传达的意义，才不会妄自揣测。

Suddenly something has happened to me as I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed¹. I was utterly² and totally stressed

Do you know you made me cry? Do you know you make me die?
And the thing that gets to me is you'll never really see
And the thing that breaks me out is that always be in doubt

It is a lovely thing that we have. It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal, the animal instinct. Ooh ohh ohh

So take my hands and come with me. We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray. They won't take you away
 
They will never make me cry, no. They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me is you'll never really see
And the thing that breaks me out is that always be in doubt

The animal, the animal, the animal instinct to me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct to me (repeat)
