Some Kind of Nature
Gorillaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some kind of soul
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of goal
Some kind of majesty
Some chemical load
Some kind of metal made up from glueSome kind of plastic I could wrap around you
The needy eat man-mades
They wear phony clothes
They sit with our picture up until they grow old
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of goal
Some kind of majesty
Some chemical load
Well, me, I like plastics and digital foils
Could wrap up the sound and protect the girls
From the spiritual poison we expel at night
Like phony clothes but I really like might
Some kind of nature
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Come from within us
Oh Lord, forgive me
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of gold
It's got to come and find usAll we are is dust
Some kind of metal made up from glue
Some kind of plastic I could wrap around you
The needy eat man-mades
They wear phony clothes
They sit with our picture up until they grow old
Some kind of nature
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Come from within us
Oh Lord, forgive me
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of gold
It's got to come and find us
All we are is dust
The lyrics of "Some Kind of Nature" by Gorillaz featuring Lou Reed is a commentary on the relationship between humans and their environment. The song describes the exploitation of nature, the use of artificial materials, and the disregard for the natural world. The lyrics criticize the human tendency to prioritize material possessions and desires over the planet's well-being.
The lines "Some kind of nature, some kind of soul, some kind of mixture, some kind of goal, some kind of majesty, some chemical load" suggest that although humans have something beautiful and unique inside them, they are also filled with harmful chemicals and pollutants. The metaphor of "some kind of metal made up from glue, some kind of plastic I could wrap around you" depicts the artificial and synthetic materials that humans use and surround themselves with. Furthermore, the line "The needy eat man-mades, they wear phony clothes, they sit with our picture up until they grow old" highlights the detrimental consequences of artificiality and the superficiality of consumerism.
The song emphasizes the need for humans to reconnect with nature, to recognize its value and preserve its beauty. The lyrics "All we are is dust" suggests that humans are nothing compared to the vastness and importance of the natural world, and that the planet will continue to thrive and endure without human interference.

[Chorus: Lou Reed]
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of gold
Some kind of majesty
Some chemical load
[Verse 1: Lou Reed]
Some kind of metal
Made up from glue
Some kind of plastic
I could wrap around you
The needy eat man-mades
They wear phony clothes
They sit with barbiturates
Until they grow old
[Chorus: 2-D]
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of gold
Some kind of majesty
Some chemical load
[Verse 2: Lou Reed]
Well, me, I like plastics
And digital foils
To wrap up the sound
And protect the girls
From the spiritual poison
You spill at night
Like phony clothes but
I really like mine
[Chorus: Lou Reed and 2-D]
Some kind of nature
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Come forth within us
Oh Lord, forgive me
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of gold
It's gonna come and find us
All we are is dust
[Verse 3: Lou Reed, 2-D and Both]
Some kind of metal, some kind of metal
Made up from glue, made up from glue
Some kind of plastic, some kind of plastic
I could wrap around you
The needy eat man-mades
They wear phony clothes
They sit with barbiturates
Until they grow old
[Chorus: Lou Reed and 2-D]
Some kind of nature
Some kind of nature
Some kind of soul
Come forth within us
Oh Lord, forgive me
Some kind of mixture
Some kind of gold
It's gonna come and find us
All we are is dust
