Anton Ewald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretending it ain't tru.e
And how can I grow stro.o.ng
Without that smile I kne.w
There's a tattoo on my heart, saying
This belongs to yo.u
I tried deny it a.ll, but
The more I try the more
So baby hear me out just one more time
Lets make it turn from black to white
Been holding back without a reason why
But I´m change it all tonight
I wanna lose my control
So we can get it, get it right
by the morning
My love for you is s.o.o.o
Na Na Natural so natural
I wanna lose my control
So we can get it, get it right
by the morning
My love for you is s.o.o.o
Na Na Natural so natural
Happy hungry eyes
Let's paint the world in blue
I wrote this song for yo.o.u
And every word I say is true
So baby hear me out just one more time
Lets make it turn from black to white
Been holding back without a reason why
But I´m change it all tonight
I wanna lose my control
So we can get it, get it right
by the morning
My love for you is s.o.o.o
Na Na Natural so natural
I wanna lose my control
So we can get it, get it right
by the morning
My love for you is s.o.o.o
Na Na Natural so natural
What I feel is real
Let love take the wheal
What I feel is real
What I feel

Put your hands up
Let love take the wheal
Lets go
Oho…
I wanna lose my control
So we can get it, get it right
by the morning
My love for you is s.o.o.o
Na Na Natural so natural
Na Na Natural so natural
To me
To me
To me
In "Natural," Anton Ewald seems to be opening up about his feelings for someone who's left an indelible mark on his heart. He asks himself how he can go on pretending that everything is okay and making himself grow stronger without the other person's love. It seems to be a classic case of heartbreak, where Anton's been trying to deny his feelings for the person, but the more he does so, the more he longs for them. The tattoo on his heart that says "this belongs to you" is a powerful image that reinforces how deeply he feels for the person. He confesses that he's been holding back for no reason and that he wants to make things right, so they can turn from "black to white." He wants to lose control and let love take the wheel because it feels natural to him.
The chorus of "Natural" is catchy and emphasizes Anton's desire to let go and lose his control over his emotions. He wants them to get it right by the morning and is confident that his love for the person is real and natural. He emphasizes that fact with a playful expression of "na na natural so natural," which adds to the joyful tone of the song. The bridge of the song is a call for him to be vulnerable and honest about his feelings, asking the other person to put their hands up and let love take the wheel. The song itself is upbeat and suggests a sense of liberation and freedom that comes with being honest about one's emotions.

No me canso de ver este video de Natural, me gusta su voz y como baila y se desempeña en el escenario, todo un pop star. Se le extraña en Melodifestivalen. Desde México lo escucho
SlamB
He deserved to take part on Eurovision! GO ANTON

This doesn't come close to Begging but it's still a fun song. His voice sounds strained though.
Can't wait to see him perform New Religion tomorrow, btw!
Hedvig Jeansson Rahm
I think he sang better in this song, but begging was more of a song I like. New religion was not that good in my opinion
ESC Steph
@Hedvig Jeansson Rahm Really? I loved New Religion.
Saxaren
@ESC Steph He wasn’t even singing in new religion. A bit embaresing for him..
ESC Steph
@Saxaren I'm not sure which performance you're referring to but if it's the encore, he clearly so overcome with emotion at qualifying so of course he struggled with singing. If you're referring to the first performance, you can hear the backing track a bit at the end which is far quieter than the rest of the time which proves he was singing the rest of the time.
