Double Nature
Mustasch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born a believer, I walk alone
Can´t find a place where I feel at home
Well I´m crazy, but I am sane
I´m guilty, but not to blame
This is my nature, who I am
If you don´t like it, here I stand

I wanna keep it, though I eat it
Shove it in my mouth
I can't control my evil
I, I wanna keep it, though I eat it
Have a bigger bite
I love you baby, though I hate you
I'm a double nature!

Now a heretic, I have become
I've lost my faith in God and man
I am a demon, free from sin
But there´s no angel who lets me in
My wheels are rolling, they´re rolling fast
Straight outta Hell, away from my past

I wanna keep it, though I eat it...

Now here´s a warning, some final words
Turn me down, and you´ll burn, burn...
I am awakened, I never sleep
My eyes are bleeding, I´m a freak
I´m short of patience, don´t mean no harm
I´m just a guy with a burning heart





I wanna keep it, though I eat it...

Overall Meaning

The song “Double Nature” by Mustasch explores the inner workings of a person who accepts and embraces their contradictory and conflicting nature. In the first stanza, the song talks about the singer’s belief and inclination to walk alone but he/she doesn’t have a place where they feel at home. This suggests that the person is finding it hard to identify or resonate with the people, places or communities around them. The next line suggests that the person acknowledges their mental instability but, in their own way, they justify it as being sane. Furthermore, the person also feels guilty but is not willing to accept blame or accountability for it, stating that it’s who they are. The stanza finishes with the singer declaring that if others don’t like them for who they are, they won’t change to please them.


The second stanza reveals that the singer is a heretic who has lost their faith in God and man. They consider themselves a demon, free from sin but there is no angel who will allow them into the heavens. The singer’s reference to their past indicates that they have had a difficult past and their wheels are turning quickly to escape it. They know their nature is contradictory but they do not want to give it up because it is a part of them.


The chorus of the song talks about the conflicting nature of the singer, referencing their love and hate for someone and acknowledging their double nature. The last verse of the song serves as a warning to those who might come close to the singer, highlighting their intolerance towards disapproval and how they are a person with a burning heart.
