“Eat you alive” refers to sex. While some suggest it refers to rape, it is more likely that Maroon 5 composed this song about consensual, yet still aggressively physical, sex.
The word “animals” is used throughout this song to invoke the sense of primitive, animalistic sexual desire and physical attraction.
In the music video, the female continually dodges her pursuer’s advances, though he stubbornly continues to close in on her, enticed by her allure.
Many animals have an extremely heightened sense of smell that helps them find sexual partners, food, etc. Again, the animalistic quality of human sexual desire is the theme here.
Maroon 5 refers to sexual intercourse here.
The drug simile is appropriate, since sexual desire can also be addicting.
Singing from the male pursuer’s perspective, he suggests that no matter what kind of sexual life the female chases, she will always come back to him due to the intensity of their shared sexual attraction. The male in the video is far more convinced about their sexual attraction than the female.
Whatever the male tries to do to forget the female and leave her in the past, his desire for her never fades.
This intense desire gives the female a significant degree of control over the male.
Regardless of the shortcomings of the female’s personality, the male is convinced that the animalistic sexual experiences between the two of them are enough to keep their sexual relationship going strong.
The word “beast” also refers to the physical, animalistic sexual characteristics of the male.
