The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Lions And Tigers And Bears" by the artist "Todrick Hall"

Contents

The song "Lions And Tigers And Bears" is a touching ode to a mother's love and devotion. Todrick Hall utilizes metaphors of wild and dangerous animals – lions, tigers, and bears – to convey the depth and strength of maternal feelings.

The heroine of the song, facing inevitable signs of aging – weight gain, gray hair, fatigue – does not lose her strength and determination to protect her child. She is ready to fight any enemy, whether it be a real animal or life's adversities.

Phrases like "I'd fight a bear underwater for my boy" and "I'll rip all the stripes off every tiger" emphasize the boundless nature of her love and willingness to make any sacrifice for her child.

While she acknowledges that she is not omnipotent ("But if you see a spider, honey / Then what else are friends for?"), she promises to always be there and support her child in any situation.

The song celebrates not only maternal love but also strength of spirit, courage, and dedication. It reminds us that even in the face of fear and difficulties, true love can overcome any obstacle.

Whoa, whoa

Confidently, I did the thing

A woman like me should never do

I stepped on a scale

And thought "What the hell?"

Cause honey that scale was mighty rude

So I've gained a little weight

Mama's hair's a little gray

And my strength just ain't the same

But believe me when I say

I'd fight a bear underwater for my baby

Bring on a lion, I'm not frightened

They can't take me

I'd tear the stripes off any tiger

You just call me and I swear

I'm right there and I'm not scared

Of lions and tigers and bears

Whoa, oh, whoa

A wolf or a fox, please

A big jabberwocky

You just gotta knock on your mama's door

I'll fight through the fire

But if there's a spider — well honey

That's what your friends are for!

I know sometimes we don't agree

But I'm always on your team

And if somebody's ever mean

If they try to take a swing

I'm gon hit that gangster lean

Somebody hold my earrings

Let me get that Vaseline

Cause they gon have to go through me

I'd fight the real Loch Ness monster for my baby

I'd slay the dragon and I'll drag 'em

Cause I'm crazy

I'd scare the stripes off any Kalidah

You just call me and I swear

I'm right there and I'm not scared

Of lions and tigers and bears

Whoa, oh, whoa
