Human Nature
Soviet Soviet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look around and say (if) that it's worth
Thousand doubts and a dream...
Crazy days with you and last night wrote a message to your boy, it's bad
Take your medicines for the last time, dressing in your room and paint(ing) your nails
Crazy days with you and last night wrote a message to your boy, it's bad
Look around and say (if) that it's worth
Thousand doubts and a dream
Crazy days with you and last night wrote a message to your boy, it's bad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soviet Soviet's "Human Nature" seem to touch on themes of doubt and disillusionment, as the singer looks around at their surroundings and questions whether it's all really worth it. There is a sense of chaos to the verses, with references to crazy days, medicines, and painting nails, all hinting at a certain unraveled mental state. The line about writing a bad message to someone's boy also signals a possible breakdown in a relationship, adding another layer of tension to the song.

In many ways, "Human Nature" feels like an existential crisis put to music. The doubts and dreams that the lyrics reference are universal feelings, as is the question of whether everything we're doing is worth it in the end. The vivid imagery of the verses adds to the sense of urgency and confusion, creating a picture of someone on the edge of a breakdown. Ultimately, the song seems to leave the question of whether it's all worth it unanswered, leaving the listener to ponder their own human nature.
