Nature Of The Beast
My Darkest Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me release the tension that's taking hold of you
It's only natural to free the animal (inside)
The nature of the beast is, you want it
Nature of the beast is, I do too
Let's unleash and cut the creature loose
Oh, it's the nature of the beast in you
You wrap yourself around me a tightening the noose
Dropped in the cage surrounding the sinful side of you
It's only natural to free the animal (inside)
The nature of the beast is, you want it
Nature of the beast is, I do too
Let's unleash and cut the creature loose
Oh, it's the nature of the beast in you
It's only natural to free the animal (let me fly)
The nature of the beast is, you want it
Nature of the beast is, I do too
Let's unleash and cut the creature loose
Oh, it's the nature of the beast in you
The nature of the beast is, you want it
Nature of the beast is, I do too
Let's unleash and cut the creature loose
Oh, it's the nature of the beast in you
You you
You you
You you
The lyrics to My Darkest Days's "Nature Of The Beast" portray a quite sensual and primal scene between two individuals. The first verse sets the scene with the singer acknowledging that his partner's needs require attention, and that he is aware and ready to relieve the tension that is building. The chorus refers to the "nature of the beast," likening this primal urge to an untamed animal inside both of them, craving release. The second verse dives deeper into this imagery, with the singer feeling as though his partner has wrapped herself around him, almost like a noose, trapping him within her sinfulness. The bridge reiterates this desire for freedom, for both the singer and the listener, to unleash and let whatever is inside them consume them.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a carnal, almost dangerous, desire between two people, both recognizing the untamed nature within themselves and each other, and excited to allow it to take over.
