Walls
The Nature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something has happened to your world
Can you imagine you could
There's too much pressure on you now
Why would you ever throw away
What's been given to you
Wake up and nothing's even there

Now you're falling too far away
It is hard

Sit inside your wall of shame
Believing what's forgotten
You make it hard to find the world
Sit inside your wall of shame
And nothing even matters
What can you say but I'm to blame

When trouble lingers on you mind
You wait, but dig in deeper
There's no more room for honesty
Breathe in the vapors of your lies
Just when you're choking on them
These thoughts are spinning around your head

Now you're falling too far away
It is hard

Sit inside your wall of shame
Believing what's forgotten
You make it hard to find the world
Sit inside your wall of shame
And nothing even matters
What can you say but I'm to blame

Now you're falling too far away
It is hard

Sit inside your wall of shame
Believing what's forgotten
You make it hard to find the world
Sit inside your wall of shame




And nothing even matters
What can you say but I'm to blame

Overall Meaning

The Nature's song "Walls" appears to be about a person who has built walls around themselves due to some kind of a personal crisis they are facing. The lyrics suggest that the person has thrown away the gifts and opportunities that life has given them and is stuck in a deep sense of shame and guilt. The individual seems to have lost touch with the world outside and has become too self-absorbed. The song talks about the pressure that the person is under and how it is causing them to fall further away from reality.


The lyrics are rather bleak and paint a picture of a person who is struggling to cope with their emotions. The wall of shame that the person has built around themselves is keeping them from facing reality and moving on with their life. The song seems to suggest that the only way out of this situation is for the person to take ownership of their mistakes and let go of their guilt.


One interpretation of the song could be that it's a commentary on the damaging effects of shame and guilt. The lyrics seem to suggest that these emotions can be all-consuming and can cause a person to build walls around themselves, shutting themselves off from the world. The song may be urging listeners to confront their feelings of shame and guilt and work towards rebuilding their lives.
