Natural Born Sinner
In This Moment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"So when they continued asking him
He lifted up himself, and said unto them,
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her"

Listen closely, to what I'm about to say
I think I've heard just about enough of your hypocritical ways
Don't try to stop me now
Don't you make a sound
You've built yourself up oh so high just to tear me down

I'm so tired of you telling me
How to live and what I should not be
And I'm so tired of you telling me
What to do and what I don't believe
And after all that you're telling me
Why is it hate and only you can see
And I'm so sick of you telling me that I will burn
I will not be free

This is my song
My red crusade
What will I say?
What will I do?
Maybe it's fear that leads your rage
Maybe you're me and I am you

So go ahead and point your fingers
Tell me who to love is it him or her?
When will you see this is who I am
S-i-n-n-e-r
Natural born sinner

I'm not gonna change
Stay out of my way
I don't need you to understand
That I'm already saved
Maybe you should stop, question all your pain
Can you look me in my eyes and say we're not the same.

Did you really think by pushing me
I would become what you want me to be?
And did you really think by hurting me
I'd open up and just hand you the key?
I know you're scared and don't understand
This is my life, this is who I am
What I do know is come judgement day
Before the lord can you say the same?

This is my song
My red crusade
What will I say?
What will I do?
Maybe it's fear that leads your rage
Maybe you're me and I am you

So go ahead and point your fingers
Tell me who to love is it him or her?
When will you see this is who I am
S-i-n-n-e-r
S-i-n-n-e-r

So go ahead and point your fingers
I'll love who I want, whether him or her
When will you see that God made me a
S-i-n-n-e-r
Natural born sinner
Go ahead and point!
S-i-n-n-e-r
S-i-n-n-e-r

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of In This Moment's Natural Born Sinner are a direct biblical reference to a story in which a group of men brought a woman accused of adultery to Jesus, asking if they should stone her to death, in accordance with the law. In response, Jesus famously said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," a sentiment that is echoed in the song's lyrics. The song tackles themes of hypocrisy, judgment, and acceptance, with lead singer Maria Brink singling out those who would try to impose their beliefs and standards on others.


Brink sings about feeling tired and sick of people telling her how to live and what beliefs she should hold, asserting that she is a sinner and a natural born one at that. She challenges those who would try to condemn her and asks them to question their own pain and biases, saying that she knows who she is and that she will not change to please others. The song features heavy guitars and pounding drums, with Brink's vocal performance ranging from intense screams to more melodic passages.


The lyrics of Natural Born Sinner are not only a response to religious judgment but also a broader commentary on societal norms and expectations. Brink seems to be saying that she refuses to conform to traditional ideas of what is "acceptable" behavior or belief and instead embraces her own identity, even if it means being labeled a "sinner." Ultimately, the song is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance and a challenge to anyone who would seek to impose their will on others.

MiseryTV

First of all, the lyrics to this song are sadly true. I believe she's talking about the Church.
"So go ahead and point your finger
Tell me who to love is it him or her?
When will you see this is who I am?
S-I-N-N-E-R"

"When will you see that God made me a S I N N E R?"
So, obviously she believes in God, but she disagrees with the church because of their anti-homosexual attitude. 

Maybe I have the wrong idea of this song, please let me know! :)
I love this song because of the lyrics, same with Out Of Hell and The Fighter.

I don't know how I keep finding metal bands that have so much to say about Christianity that is 100% spot on. Growing up this way left irreparable damage and I love Maria for giving me a chance to scream about it. I know that come judgment day I can say that I followed love.

+Mariah Butler God cannot be blamed by the faults mortal men and man made interpretations, God is God and will not be mocked, but man is man full of sin and hypocrisy to be judged before His Great White throne.. Blame man for what is wrong in religion and not God who is just...for each one must work out their own salvation b4 the Lord with great fear and trembling. In this Moment rocks though, they found me when I was in a very dark place, their music saved my life.
