Nature_1
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too often and too cold
But you aren't even listening
Cause you are just
Too old to feel an earthquake
Too cool to even care
But you aren't even listening
You are a natural disaster
And I've wanted you too much
And now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
And now I've gotta choose
You're the cause of all this
And I'm sick of trying to please you, yeah
And I'm gonna feel my emotions coming, yeah
Because you're the world
Like a broken dam, you're empty
And all that's left are the sticks and stones
That were built by other people
And it really shows
And you aren't even listening
Cause you are just
Too old to feel an earthquake
Too cool to even care
But you aren't even listening
So why should I?
You are a natural disaster
And I've wanted you too much
And now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
And now I've gotta choose
You're the cause of all this
And I'm sick of trying to please you, yeah
And you're gonna feel my emotions coming, yeah
Because you're the world
The lyrics of Muse's song Nature_1 seem to be about a relationship that is dysfunctional and unsatisfying. The persona in the song feels like they are conforming to someone who is too old and too cool to care, and they do not listen to them. The persona feels like they are in a natural disaster because it's something that they cannot control, and the relationship is causing them emotional pain. The persona is tired of trying to please the other person and it seems like they have been trying for a while, and it's not working. The persona is ready to let their emotions come out, and they know that the other person will feel it too.
Furthermore, the persona compares the other person to a broken dam that is empty, and all that is left behind are sticks and stones. This metaphor suggests that the other person is emotionally unavailable and unable to give the persona what they need. The persona is pointing out that the other person is not listening and is not engaging in the relationship, and this is causing pain.
In summary, the song appears to be about a one-sided relationship where one person is emotionally unavailable and the other person is trying to make it work. The persona realizes that they cannot continue in this dysfunctional relationship, and they must choose between staying in a relationship that is causing them pain or leaving.
