23. Savages
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp18MKR3ooQ Film: Pocahontas Best lyrics: Beneath that milky hide, there's emptiness inside/ I wonder if they even bleed/ They're savages, savages/ Barely even human. This song, sang by Ratcliffe and the Native Americans is probably one of the most barbaric and truthful songs that Disney have ever produced. It just shows the ignorance as well as the fear of the unknown that can drive someone in completely the wrong path of what it is to be (not even a good person), but a human being. This is a really powerful message and the lyrics do not only contain strong and bold imagery, but they also provide a lot of truth for how our ancestors acted, and sadly, how some people still act today.
