The story behind the song

"Animal I Have Become" delves into the raw honesty of confronting one's darker self. Lead singer Adam Gontier wrote this track while in rehab, reflecting on a period of addiction where he felt abusive, angry, and lost, no longer recognizing who he was. It's a powerful realization that change was necessary and that he needed to seek help. This song, which appears on their album One-X, captures the intense struggle of grappling with an inner beast and the journey toward reclaiming oneself. It plays like a visceral expression of internal conflict and the hard-won decision to break free.
