Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let you back into my head
Yeah, black-black black and blue beat-up
High off everything you said
Oh, Chelsea morning with the devil in my eyes
Where it's not so bad
I can't be mad at white, white lies
You flip me like a domino
Got your hands all over my body
But you're actin' like you don't want me
Yeah, if you want me, let me know
You're terrifin', beautiful
Like a thunderbolt through my body
It's enough to make me feel supernatural
Yeah, baby I feel supernatural
Oh, what a shame
Your spirit never left
Possessed me like a demon
Made the worship at your bed
Oh, yeah, I must be outta my mind
Any cause to watch you crash
Just one last line
If you want me, let me know
You flip me like a domino
Got your hands all over my body
But you're actin' like you don't want me
Yeah, if you want me let me know
You're terrifin', beautiful
Like a thunderbolt through my body
It's enough to make me feel supernatural
Supernatural, I feel untouchable
I'm unstoppable (yeah baby, I feel supernatural)
I'm supernatural, hey
Supernatural, I feel untouchable
I'm unstoppable (yeah baby, I feel supernatural)
I'm supernatural, hey
I do believe (I do believe)
That's the old me (that's the old me)
I'd never leave (I'm gonna be), yeah
I do believe (I do believe)
That's the old me (that's the old me)
I'd never leave (I'm gonna be), hey
Supernatural, I feel untouchable
I'm unstoppable (yeah baby I feel supernatural)
I'm supernatural, hey
Supernatural, I feel untouchable
I'm unstoppable
I'm supernatural
The lyrics of Barns Courtney's song Supernatural describe the singer's complicated and destructive relationship with a lover. The song starts with the singer inviting this person back into his mind, despite being hurt in the past, and feeling beaten up and high off their words. He describes the person as having the devil in their eyes and being capable of telling "white lies" that he can't be mad at. The chorus suggests that the singer wants to be wanted by this person, even if they are not treating him well. He feels captivated by their touch and beauty, but also frustrated by their mixed signals, and can't help but feel supernatural around them.
The second verse continues with the theme of being trapped in a relationship with someone who possesses him like a demon. He admits that he must be out of his mind for putting up with it, but can't help being drawn to the person's destructive presence. In the chorus, the singer declares that he feels untouchable and unstoppable when he is with this person, but also acknowledges that this feeling might come from his old self, before he was hurt by them. The repetition of "supernatural" throughout the song implies that their relationship is otherworldly and dangerous, yet the singer can't help but feel drawn to it.
Overall, the song explores the paradoxical feeling of being both powerless and invincible in the face of a toxic relationship, and how it can make someone feel supernatural.

One last time
For the final time
Let you back into my head
Allowing you to occupy my thoughts again
Yeah, black-black black and blue beat-up
Feeling emotionally bruised and battered
High off everything you said
Feeling euphoric from your words
Oh, Chelsea morning with the devil in my eyes
Having a sinister aura while feeling vulnerable
Where it's not so bad
Finding solace in unpleasant circumstances
I can't be mad at white, white lies
Unable to get angry at deceitful but harmless lies
If you want me, let me know
If you're interested in me, say so
You flip me like a domino
You have an unpredictable impact on me
Got your hands all over my body
Feeling physically connected to you
But you're actin' like you don't want me
Despite being intimate, you're not showing interest
You're terrifin', beautiful
You're awe-inspiring and gorgeous
Like a thunderbolt through my body
Having an electrifying and powerful effect on me
It's enough to make me feel supernatural
Your presence makes me feel invincible and beyond human
Oh, what a shame
It's unfortunate
Your spirit never left
You're still affecting me
Possessed me like a demon
Having an intense hold over me
Made the worship at your bed
Submitting to your will
Oh, yeah, I must be outta my mind
Realizing that I'm not thinking logically
Any cause to watch you crash
Willing to do anything to see you fall apart
Just one last line
One final interaction
Supernatural, I feel untouchable
Feeling invincible and beyond human
I'm unstoppable (yeah baby, I feel supernatural)
Feeling like nothing can stand in my way
I'm supernatural, hey
I have a powerful aura
I do believe (I do believe)
I have faith in something
That's the old me (that's the old me)
That's who I used to be
I'd never leave (I'm gonna be), yeah
Never abandoning my beliefs
Supernatural, I feel untouchable
Feeling invincible and beyond human
I'm unstoppable
Feeling like nothing can stand in my way
I'm supernatural
Having a powerful aura

Watching Barns go slowly from alternative rock vibes in Attractions of youth, to a bit more pop focused in 404, to whatever the hell this is, has been a fun ride

@Jessica Hannah what a sweetie, ha ha. it's sad, but I guess it makes sense a manager has to keep him on track xD
aazhie
absolutely agree. "Whatever the HELL this is" sounds like a great title for one of his songs xD
Real Lil Tubby
It’s a mix between Alternative and Pop Rock. It’s an amazing whirlwind that I love.

Ah, what a ride. I saw him the first time at a small venue with a beat up guitar and no one else, just him. Stripped down to his boxer briefs lol. Blew me away then, and watching him grow has been something else. I had a bit of adjustment with some of the changes but I so admire and respect his songwriting, arrangements, vocals, and mostly his absolutely POWERFUL concerts. I've been to several shows now, whenever he's within range, and always introduce younger family members who become instant fans! "Wow, he's AMAZEBALLS! How come we've never heard of him?"
He's always been right there with his fans after the shows, whether it's hugs/autographs, or dinner/cocktails. We've invited him and he immediately shouted "HELL YEAH!" Unfortunately, tour manager pulled him from that one or whomever it was in charge of "get on the damned bus or get left behind".

@Liam McMillan that’s what a lot of people say when artists change. Give it a chance
Rowan Minney
Just saw this live recently! He puts on a truly fantastic show, probably the best concert I've ever been to.

Saw him in Music City a few years ago. Phenomenal show and he brings so much enthusiasm. His opening act, The Hunna, are still my favorite opening act I've ever seen.
