Second Nature Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Refrain]
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da, dum (Dum)
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da, dum (Dum)
[Verse 1]
It's when you're close enough to touch
I've forgotten the point
My train of thought destroyed
It's when you're loud enough to cut
In and through all the noise
My train of thought destroyed
[Chorus]
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
[Verse 2]
It's when you're close enough to love
I move without a void
My train of thought destroyed
And when I tell you it's because
I've known you well before
My train of thought destroyed
[Chorus]
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
[Bridge]
Soon you'll realize, too
How it, it aligns you
Ought to know, know the
Know the truth
[Refrain]
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da, dum (Dum)
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, dum
Da-da-da-da-da-da, dum (Dum)
[Chorus]
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
[Refrain]
The refrain uses repetitive and rhythmic sounds to set a contemplative tone. This creates a musical backdrop that evokes a sense of inevitability and natural flow, mirroring the song's theme of second nature.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Clairo describes the impact of being close to someone. The presence of this person is powerful enough to disrupt her thoughts and focus. The idea of a "train of thought destroyed" signifies how overwhelming and consuming this connection is, making everything else fade into the background.
[Chorus]
The chorus reinforces the idea of destiny or "kismet" taking hold. Clairo likens the experience to the natural process of sap flowing from a cedar tree, emphasizing that these feelings are instinctive and unavoidable. The phrase "second nature" highlights how deeply ingrained and effortless this connection feels.
[Verse 2]
The second verse builds on the theme by discussing the intimacy of being close enough to love. Clairo expresses that this proximity allows her to move without feeling empty or lost. She hints at a deep, possibly pre-existing connection with the person, suggesting a sense of familiarity and destiny that disrupts her thoughts in a profound way.
[Bridge]
The bridge introduces the idea of realization and alignment. Clairo suggests that over time, the listener will also come to understand and accept this natural alignment. The emphasis on knowing the truth reinforces the inevitability and authenticity of these feelings.
[Refrain]
The refrain returns, providing a rhythmic and meditative anchor for the song. Its repetitive nature continues to echo the theme of inevitability and the natural flow of emotions.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the powerful impact of the person on Clairo's thoughts and emotions. The metaphor of sap flowing from a cedar tree is used again to emphasize the natural, effortless nature of this connection, reinforcing the song's central theme of second nature.
