Imagine the electric hum of a city at dusk, infused with the untamed spirit of the wild. "Animal" is a vibrant, pulsating synth-pop track that feels both deeply sensual and fiercely defiant. AURORA's signature ethereal vocals glide over a landscape of shimmering, almost industrial electronics, creating a sound that's both polished and raw.

A subtle synth breakdown or bridge that introduces a moment of contemplative space, highlighting the 'wrong and strange' aspects of the world before returning to the powerful main theme.
