This was the first 3DG I heard, and I've been a fan ever since, the deep personal meanings from every single song are evidence of Gontier's incredible song writing. 'Somebody get me through this nightmare' - He's asking for help during the rehab, describing the withdrawal symptoms as a 'nightmare'. 'But there’s still rage inside' - He's angry at himself for getting this way. 'So many times I’ve lied' - Drug users often deny the truth of their addiction. 'I can’t escape myself' - Saying he can't stop himself. 'Somebody help me tame this animal' - Again, asking for help to overcome his addiction, using the 'animal' as a metaphor for his current state.

'Help me believe, It’s not the real me' - He's asking for help, to fight his addiction and make himself believe that he can change.

'No one will ever change this animal I have become' - no one can change the past and what he's done.

This becomes very evident when looking at the chorus: Animal I Have Become Lyrics by Three Days Grace from the One-X/Live at the Palace album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more: I. The song is about how he's not in control anymore, that the drugs have left him uncontrollable, irritable and 'not the real him'.
