Some Kind Of Nature
Gorillaz & Lou Reed 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 glue
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 us
All 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 (Feat. Lou Reed) seem to discuss the complexities and contradictions of the modern world. The first verse references various materials, both natural and synthetic, and hints at a sense of confusion or uncertainty about how these materials come together to form the world we live in. The second verse seems to delve into the human condition, with a focus on the idea of "the needy" who consume man-made products and wear "phony clothes" as they seek to find meaning or purpose in their lives.
As the song progresses, the lyrics begin to speak more broadly about the nature of humanity itself. The repetition of the phrase "some kind of nature" suggests that there is a fundamental aspect of human existence that can't be fully understood or quantified. The line "all we are is dust" implies a sense of impermanence or mortality, as if the human experience is ultimately fleeting and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, "Some Kind Of Nature" seems to be a meditation on the complexities and contradictions of modern life, but also on the fundamental nature of humanity itself. The lyrics suggest a certain amount of ambiguity or uncertainty about these topics, as if the singer is searching for deeper meaning or understanding but ultimately coming up short.
