Believe Me Natalie Lyrics
This song is, in a literal sense, about a girl with aids, but beyond that it is about everyone At some point in their lives everyone is this girl, or at the very least, knows someone who is this girl
Natalie could be your best friend from high-school who isn't ever going to leave the crappy little town you both were born in.
Natalie could be a person you hardly knew who moved to a big city and realized he/she would rather be back home, but can't face the difficulties that would come with it
Natalie could be the girl you met and fell in love with but won't come out her shell and open herself up to you
Natalie could be a middle aged man stuck in a dead-end job as he watches the essence of his life slip thorugh the hand he once thought held a tight grip on his dreams
Natalie could be the person you constantly worry is slipping down the wrong path in life, and throwing away all their potential, even at a tender age
Natalie is everyone Everyone has a no turning back point in their life, to do something, or to wilt Everyone has massive potential and beauty, symbolized by the arch of roses above them Everyone has friends, family, whomever telling them they can never do it, never change, never be something special Everyone has someone too, who believes and dreams for them And everyone must take advantage when ever they have achance to disco

This is an amazing song, itself. It's beautifully written actually. The Killers mentioned in a magizene that "Natalie" is a studio-54 dancer who gets diagnosed with AIDS. "Listen Natalie This is your last chance to find A go-go dance to disco now
Forget what they said in Soho Leave the oh-no's out And believe me, Natalie Listen Natalie This is your last chance"
Why is it so terrible that the song is about a woman with AIDS? Thats life, you know. If it is infact about AIDS, instead of being unhappy about it, why dont you look at it as a song that is encouraging someone to use their time wisely and not let things slip away from them? Because that basically is what it is.
SOHO is an area of New York, it stands for "SOuth of HOustin street". And yes, studio 54 is in SOHO.
yeah hes right. its southern houstin
yeah hes right. its southern houstin
You're right about SOHO but wrong about Studio 54's location. It was on 54th Street uptown.

love this song
what futurfaildnovlist wrote about the song is truly beautiful
especially:
"Natalie could be a middle aged man stuck in a dead-end job as he watches the essence of his life slip through the hand he once thought held a tight grip on his dreams"
I love how The Killers have sad lyrics but their music still sounds so happy so you have to really think about it... I love this song, and after reading what pinup said, well, that just makes me sad.
Beautiful lyrics...
I totally agree bleedingmaskarah...how do they do that?! this song is so beautifully mellow, i love it.
pinup77 is right - the arch of roses was an actual arch of roses in the club
this is the first song i've heard of written about some one w/ my name and spelled the same way too! pretty cool!! lol i'd never really understood it tho....
