Second Nature
Utópia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something tells me when something's wrong
Seems like it's been such a long,
Long time since I felt that one
You have your ways and I have my ways
And like the back of my hand I know it
And I don't have to try to make you show it
'Cause it's second nature to me now
Something's taken hold of me somehow
'Cause it's second nature to me now
Nobody must explain to me your way of communication
Give me the time to understand
I always come around
I have my ways and you have your ways
And we need no elaboration
We can just enjoy that sweet sensation
The song "Second Nature" by Utopia is a beautiful love song that speaks about the sense of understanding that one person can have towards another. The lyrics describe how the two people in a relationship have their own unique ways of communication and understanding, and yet they are still able to connect with each other on a level that is almost instinctual. The singer asserts that this connection has become such a natural part of their relationship that it is now "second nature" to them.
The song is written in a very poetic style, with metaphors and subtle imagery that evoke a sense of depth and introspection. It speaks to the idea that true intimacy and understanding can only come from a deep recognition of another person's essence, and that this recognition can only come from a place of love and acceptance.
Overall, "Second Nature" is a beautiful testament to the power of connection and love in a relationship, and a reminder that even when things seem difficult or uncertain, there is always a way to find common ground and move forward together.
