Natural One
The Folk Implosion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the one natural one, make it easy
we can take it inside
where I can love how I like if my woman
whatever keeps me high
yeah, we can take it
good and loose on an endless spree
good because we made it
and when momma's not around there's no telling what we'll do when we're
free
I'm the one natural one, make it easy
we can take it inside
I can have it cause I act like I love it
it's a matter of pride
yeah, we can take it
good excuse on an endless spree
good because we made it
your woman's falling down, you may as well crash with me
when I'm numb natural one
it's the one natural one
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free
when I'm numb natural one
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free
it's the one natural one
that you may
as well crash with me
when I'm numb natural one
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free
it's the one natural one
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free
when I'm numb natural one
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free
it's the one natural one
that you may as well crash with me
The lyrics to The Folk Implosion's song Natural One can be interpreted in multiple ways, but ultimately the song is about giving into temptation and living freely in the moment. The singer is the "natural one" who is willing to take risks, enjoy life's pleasures and take advantage of opportunities when they arise. He is offering himself up to his partner to indulge in these pleasures together, even if it may be considered morally questionable. He acknowledges that when they are free to act without judgment or consequence, there's no telling what they may do, but he wants to fully embrace that freedom regardless.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics stress the idea of numbing oneself from the outside world and giving into desire. The lyrics "when I'm numb natural one, there's no telling what we'll do when we're free" emphasize the power of being uninhibited and allowing oneself to be fully immersed in the moment. As the song progresses, it becomes more alluring, building up to the climax where the singer firmly asks his partner to "crash with me" as they succumb to their impulses.
Overall, the song may appear simplistic in its lyrics, but the melody and the repetition of the phrase "natural one" emphasize a deep-seated urge to live freely and engage in hedonistic behaviors, even if just for a moment.

The expression āone-hit wonderā is a colloquialism, and it is often used to mean āan act which recorded only one song that had widespread appeal.ā The objective history of that song having been a hit is not necessarily a factor in the use of the word āhitā in this context. The requisite characteristics of what qualifies a song as being a āhitā are in themselves ambiguous. And so we say āone hit wonderā and we are being informal and having casual fun with the related concepts.
Yet we can clarify the meaning of āhitā and we can examine objective data that is associated with the song and its provenance.
This song was released as a single on 21-November-1995 (the week after I had turned 26 years old). It peaked at #29 on the US Billboard Top 100 chart. This essentially means that is was one of the 30 most popular songs in America. This qualifies as a āhitā by any reasonable definition.
During the bandās career, the Folk Implosion released nine singles between 1995 and 2003. āNatural Oneā was the only song to even make the primary Billboard chart of 100 songs.
Thus, by an objective measure, we may correctly assert that the band Folk Implosion was a one-hit wonder.

I fucking can't understand for the life of me what the fuck happened to pop music after the 90s. Here I am, pouring out a Zima to the last great decade. Fuck today's shit.

@nachobuttmug9448
There was a brief period in the 90s where songs like this could get radio play. It made it to number 29 on the hot 100.
@bubbagump6934
I think I heard it on Q101 FM Chicago. That was the "alternative" station at the time. Always loved this song. Glad I found it 20 years later.
@chisoxanthony2713
@@bubbagump6934 i guarantee you heard it on Q101 back in the day. I also live in Chicago, then and now, and heard it plenty of times in that station. Miss those days....
@danielgolus4600
1995. When decent music was still on the radio.
@keithpickering1535
I'm about 2 hrs south of Chicago and our radio station wore this song out back in the day...For some reason I and others didn't get tired of it.

These were the good and easy years.
