Natural
Peter Koppes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it's been a long time that I've been inclined
And now that you're here, my heart stops aching
Ah, it's only natural
So natural to love you
When I look into your deep eyes and you say that you love me
I surrender myself to the pleasure I'm taking
Everybody's left talking to themselves
Everybody's left talking to themselves
All I hear is nothing
I hope they understant where I am
Ah, it's only natural
So natural 'cause I love you
Oh! You make me feel something
When you say that you love me
All my thoughts fade away
Concentration strays
Like a boat leaves a port when its line is breaking
My lips land kisses upon your face
When you say that you love me
And then time won't exist
I'm lost in our kiss
Ascend into space with this love we are making
The opening lines of Peter Koppes's song, "Natural," reveal a sense of hesitation and disbelief towards love. The singer seems to have been hurt before and is wary of falling deeply in love again. However, when the object of their affection tells them that they love them, the singer experiences a rush of emotions that overpower their doubts. The world around them stops, and they bask in the pleasure of being loved. The chorus of the song reiterates that the love they share is natural and effortless.
The second verse sees the singer retreating into their own world, away from the judgments and opinions of others. They savor the moment with their loved one, and all external noise fades away into nothingness. The bridge of the song features the singer expressing how their lover makes them feel something profound. All their fears and anxieties melt away, and they become entirely absorbed in their partner's love. Time seems to stand still as they exchange kisses and create a universe of their own filled with shared love.
Overall, "Natural" depicts the beauty and power of falling in love. Despite initial doubts and hesitations, being loved by someone special can make one feel invincible and transport them to a world of bliss. The song is a testament to the magical quality of love, which can erase all doubts and uncertainties and leave behind a sense of deep contentment and peace.
