Natural Feelings
Embracing Natural Feelings: Seeking Definition Beyond Fear
Lyrics
What you love is the definition of what you fear, what you fear, what you fear
Love and fear are interconnected; what one loves is also feared.
What you love is the definition of what you fear, what you fear, what you fear
Repetition emphasizes the theme that love is linked to fear.
What you want, everything you can't see, everything you can't be, everything you don't need
Desire encompasses things invisible, unattainable, and unnecessary.
What you want, everything you've got until you've got me, then everything I'm not, oh no
Desire shifts when someone/something is obtained, revealing imperfections.
I can't blame you, you can't blame me, these are natural feelings
Mutual understanding of being unable to assign blame for natural emotions.
A definition isn't what we need, but definition is what we seek
Contradiction between not needing definitions and actively seeking them.
My blood is beating my heart
Symbolic statement about intense emotions affecting the singer.
What I love, what will never be enough, going up, going up, going up
The singer's pursuit of love, knowing it will never be fully satisfying.
What I love, what will never be enough, going up, going up, going up
Reiteration of the insufficiency of what the singer loves.
What I want, everything I can't see, everything I can't be, everything I don't need
Similar desire as earlier verses, focusing on the singer's wants.
What I want, everything I've caught and no longer free, and that's where it stops
Realization that possessing what's desired may restrict freedom.
I can't blame you, you can't blame me, these are natural feelings
Acceptance of mutual inability to assign blame for these natural emotions.
A definition doesn't set me free, in a cage looking for the key
Recognition that seeking definitions doesn't bring freedom, but rather confines.
My blood is beating my heart
Repetition of the impact of intense emotions on the singer's physical state.
My blood is beating my heart
-My blood is beating my heart
-My blood is beating my heart
-I'll keep looking for another
Continued search for something else, possibly suggesting dissatisfaction.
Question with no answer
Posing a rhetorical question about an unanswerable inquiry.
I'll keep looking for another
Reiteration of the ongoing quest for something different.
You'll keep looking for another
Implying that others, like the singer, are also searching for alternatives.
Answer when there's no answer
Highlighting the struggle of finding answers in the absence of clear solutions.
Is there love without a lover
Raising a philosophical question about the nature of love without a lover.
What you love, reach your arms out, grab what's near
Encouragement to reach for what's close, suggesting the pursuit of love.
