The band only released one album when Mark and John were involved, No Time At All, in March of 2001. After this they decided to leave the band and head in their own direction. Rickey Shelton joined them and they recorded an album. Their name is rather interesting due to the fact that while they had originally picked the name "Pull", they decided on the name "Course of Nature", which had been a track on the album Cog had earlier released. A few demo tapes later the band joined with Lava/Atlantic Records and nearly had their first album completed in October of 2001. The album, Superkala, was released in 2002. Singles off the album were "Caught in the Sun" and "Wall of Shame".
Wall of Shame was used in the video game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

Caught in the Act
Course Of Nature Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my distance, destination of choice
I'd give anything just to hear your voice
I could have passed you on the street
Without saying a word
Most times, I miss the voice that goes unheard

What if I missed you
You got caught in the sun

What if I did something never to be enough

People everywhere how could I be sure
If it's you that I have been looking for
What would it take for me to be comfortable
With you, with me you're the chosen one

What if I missed you
You got caught in the sun
What if I did something never to be enough

You are there for me
This I hope and pray
Will you wait for me
Or will I be too late this time

What if I missed you
You got caught in the sun
What if I did something never to be enough

Will you wait for me
Or will I be too late this time

You are there for me
This I hope and pray

Overall Meaning

The song "Caught in the Act" by Course of Nature is a beautiful love song about a man's longing for a woman he has never spoken to. The opening lines, "You're my distance, destination of choice, I'd give anything just to hear your voice" speak to the immense longing that the singer has for the woman he has never met. He acknowledges the possibility of having passed her on the street before without saying a word, but still, his desire to hear her voice is all-consuming. The singer goes on to ask what if he missed his chance with her, or what if he did something that would never be enough to win her over. The chorus repeats the question of "What if I missed you?" which highlights the possibility of never knowing what could have been.

The lyrics also express the singer's uncertainty and fear of rejection. He wonders how he can be sure that she is the one he has been looking for and what it would take for him to be comfortable with her. Despite this fear, the singer recognizes the woman's value and acknowledges her importance to him. He prays that she will wait for him and that he will not be too late to be with her.

Overall, "Caught in the Act" is a beautiful love song that speaks to the universal emotions of longing, uncertainty, fear, and hope.
