"Run Through the Jungle" is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in 1970 on their album Cosmo's Factory. Written by John Fogerty, it’s a gritty, swamp-rock track with a haunting vibe, often interpreted as a commentary on the Vietnam War, though Fogerty has said it’s more about the proliferation of guns in America. The song’s driving rhythm, eerie guitar riffs, and Fogerty’s urgent vocals create a sense of tension and danger, like running through a chaotic, untamed jungle.
Lyrics Overview: The song opens with a warning: “Whoa, thought it was a nightmare, Lord, it’s all so true.” It paints a vivid picture of a world gone mad, with lines like “Two hundred million guns are loaded, Satan cries, ‘Take aim!’” and “Better run through the jungle, don’t look back to see.” The imagery evokes paranoia, conflict, and a desperate need to escape.
