Coming up with the latest trends
'Cause God knows that I can't go out of style
Oh damn just look at me
What a guy, what a sight to see
A mother once said that I had a heart of gold
Oh God here I go again
I should get paid just to walk you down the aisle
(just to walk you down the aisle)
Come on mam just look at me
I'm no doctor, no law degree
But I can tell you right now
No one cares about what you're wearing now
I've got a feeling yeah, I've got this feeling
This is a second nature
I can't say I'd love to hate
The color of your magazine
The balance in your color scheme
Backstage, front page yeah
America just sold its culture for cash
So let's give it back (let's give it back)
So let's give it back, yeah
Oh God here i go again
I'm coming up with the latest trends
'Cause God knows that I can't go out of style, woah yeah
Oh damn just look at me
What a guy, what a sight to see
A mother once said that she loved my smile
No one cares about what you're wearing now
I've got a feeling yeah, I've got this feeling
This is a second nature
I can't say I'd love to hate
The color of your magazine
The balance in your color scheme
Backstage, front page yeah
America just sold its culture for cash
So let's give it back (let's give it back)
Let's give it back
So you want a revolution (revolution, revolution)
So you want a revolution
(So you want a revolution, it doesn't mean a thing)
It doesn't mean a thing
(So you want a revolution, it doesn't mean a thing)
So you want a revolution
(So you want a revolution, it doesn't mean a thing)
It doesn't mean a thing
(So you want a revolution)
Yeah!
If this is what you want
Oh let's give it back
This is a second nature
I can't say I'd love to hate
The color of your magazine
The balance in your color scheme
Backstage, front page yeah
America just sold its culture for cash
So you want a revolution
It doesn't mean a thing
Backstage, front page yeah (So you want a revolution)
America just sold its culture for cash
So let's give it back (Hey [x12])
So let's give it back
Let's give it back
In "Second Nature," Lorene Drive expresses frustration with the pressure to constantly conform to the latest fashion trends. The lyrics highlight the superficiality of the fashion industry and the obsession with appearances, emphasizing the idea that what one wears should not matter as much as who they are as a person. The chorus, "No one cares about what you're wearing now, I've got a feeling yeah, I've got this feeling," suggests that the singer is confident enough in themselves to not worry about their wardrobe or what others think of it.
The song also touches on the commercialization of culture in America, as highlighted by the lyrics "Backstage, front page yeah, America just sold its culture for cash." The artist advocates for "giving back" to a more authentic and meaningful expression of culture, rather than one that is dictated by profit-driven trends.
Overall, "Second Nature" critiques the shallow and often arbitrary nature of the fashion and entertainment industries, urging listeners to focus on what truly matters and to cultivate a more genuine sense of self-expression.
