Natural
Yahzarah AKA Purple St. James Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anglo Reptillian,
Wrist watch radio titters
She waltzes her way
Through the aerodrome
Powdering conversation
With pigeon Indo
She catches her plane
To petty sun white

Two tone heaven

Chorus ~
It's only natural
You should be where you want
So ordinary

Sixteenth year
Was just the worst
Ooh wee Holy Mary
She had a picture of Patty Hearst
A kinda revolutionary

Chorus ~ x 4

You're sipping pool side babe
With a gun
You took some chances

They're only laughing in the sun
Where the sunshine dances

Overall Meaning

The first line of the song, "Anglo Reptillian, wrist watch radio titters" is quite abstract and open to interpretation. However, some have suggested that it may refer to a person who is disconnected from reality, perhaps even living in a fantasy world. The mention of a "wrist watch radio" could indicate a reliance on technology or a desire to block out the real world. The following lines describe a woman moving through an aerodrome, engaging in superficial conversation and catching a plane to a paradise-like destination. This could be interpreted as a search for escapism or a desire to leave behind a mundane reality.

The second verse introduces the idea that the 16th year of the singer's life was particularly difficult. The mention of Patty Hearst, a controversial figure who was kidnapped and then became involved with her captors' political cause, could suggest that the singer herself feels like an outsider or rebel. The chorus repeats the idea that it is "only natural" for one to want to be where they desire, even if it is considered ordinary.

The final verse paints a picture of relaxation and pleasure, with the singer observing someone sipping a drink by the pool with a gun. While this may seem contradictory, it could represent a sense of rebellion or danger that accompanies a carefree lifestyle.
