Natalie
Voodoos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Usually it's me who irritates
You've got the keys to pearly gates
And you're forcing me to feed you grapes
Did you attend a masquerade?
Your head is stuck in outer space
A blank expression on your face
You've lost connection to the human race
Oh, Natalie
Why are you playing those games?
Your own little version of charades
Oh, Natalie
Natalie you're keeping my eyes wide
I won't get any sleep tonight
Cause you're the queen bee of my hive
Or is that some sort of disguise
Natalie well you're my enemy
Tell me when and Ill get on my knees
Re-fill a filthy magazine
I know you know that I'm easy
Oh, Natalie
Why are you playing those games?
Your own little version of charades
Oh, Natalie
The song "Natalie" by the Canadian indie rock band Voodoos is a catchy and upbeat tune, but with deeper lyrical content than one may initially expect. The song follows the story of a person, presumably a man, who is completely consumed by their attraction to a woman named Natalie. The lyrics suggest that while the singer knows that Natalie is problematic and maybe even dangerous to his emotional well-being, he cannot help being enraptured by her. He accuses her of playing games, masking her true intentions behind a faรงade of flirtatious coquetry. The lines "You're keeping me awake" and "You're forcing me to feed you grapes" illustrate how Natalie holds power over him, and how he is obligated to cater to her desires.
