Mother Nature
Copyright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young girls get practice
Under the blackness
Outside the axis
Of Christian praxis

The sermon's malice
The silver chalice
Are not so sacred
As what is naked

You can't control it, no
Don't want to save my soul
Well come on
Let's rock and roll

It's my nature to take of what I see
Every creature knows the longing to be free

Deep in the city my father named me
With words so pretty my mother shamed me
Without much pity the teachers blamed me
But could not tame me

Above the steeple the owl looks down
At the holy people in their flowing gowns
As the censer waves the frankincense north and south
As the priest puts the bread in the people's mouths

Mother Nature must have made a man like me
Every creature knows to take of what it sees
Some want the preacher to show them what to be
But I look to nature and I'm longing to be free

Mother Nature is beautiful to me
Every creature knows to take of what it sees
Some want the preacher to show them what to be
But I'm made by nature and I'm longing to be free

Cause it's in my nature
It's my nature
Mother Nature

Overall Meaning

The song "Mother Nature" by Copyright speaks about the inherent nature of man and how it relates to the outside world. The opening lines suggest that young girls get used to the darkness of the world, away from the mainstream religious practices. The sermons and rituals of Christianity are trivial compared to the true beauty of the natural world. The singer goes on to say that you can't control the inner nature of someone, and they have no interest in saving their soul. This leads to the catchy chorus of "let's rock and roll," indicating that the singer is not interested in conventional ways of living.


The next verse speaks more personally about the singer's upbringing. He was born in a city and had to face harsh societal norms that he did not appreciate. He was often shamed, blamed and not understood, but it could not change the essence of his being. The next four lines speak about a bird's eye view of a church and how the holy preacher and the congregation go through their religious motions. They burn incense, wave censors, and priests put bread in people's mouths. Through these practices, they want the preacher to show them who they should be, but the singer looks to Mother Nature, knowing it's in his nature to be free.
