"Animal I Have Become" is the first single from Three Days Grace's second studio album, "One-X". Unlike most singles, "Animal I Have Become" wasn't released in stores, and only had one track.

The video, directed by Dean Karr, features singer Adam Gontier as the main character. Gontier is seen looking into mirrors, and other reflective objects, seeing himself as a monster. Gontier has stated that while addicted to the painkiller OxyContin, he had become abusive and angry and had no idea who he was anymore. He wrote "Animal I Have Become" while in rehab for his addiction. [ [http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Lowdown/2007/03/30/3871210-ca.html CANOE - JAM!

Music Video

The music video for "Animal I Have Become" features a man (Gontier) walking through various places, including a street where he pushes through everyone in front of him, as well as seeing his reflection as a monstrous entity with deathly eyes and a gaping hole with menacing teeth for a mouth twice. It ends with him meeting a woman in a bar, only to find her looking just like the monstrous entity. He then proceeds to overturn a table and throw a chair at a mirror. The man finds out it was all a dream. During the video, clips of the band playing are featured.
