Totally Natural Lyrics
Look at his hand move!
Check out the shape of his hips as he goes!
Well he's totally natural!
Well actually he's a white ghost
Performing in a video.
He's totally natural! (he's only an actor)
He's so beautiful to see,
But something's lost underneath,
Enter the wounded animal,
Refuse the medals they bestow
Shake a hand, take a bow
It's so au natural
(He's only an actor)
(He's on the screen...)
The chains lie broken one by one
Of the molten- sod illusion of a broken home
It's a street fight, it's a Friday night alone
It's a bottle that's warming on the shelf
It's feeling just inches away from death
It's a street, it's an icicle
It's a panic attack, it's only an act, yeah.
Check out the shape of his hips as he goes!
Well he's totally natural!
Well actually he's a white ghost
Performing in a video.
He's totally natural! (he's only an actor)
But something's lost underneath,
Enter the wounded animal,
Refuse the medals they bestow
Shake a hand, take a bow
It's so au natural
(He's only an actor)
(He's on the screen...)
Of the molten- sod illusion of a broken home
It's a street fight, it's a Friday night alone
It's a bottle that's warming on the shelf
It's feeling just inches away from death
It's a street, it's an icicle
It's a panic attack, it's only an act, yeah.

hehe what a great song..telling us that the ppl on TV are not real..and that they have all these problems because they try to make themselves seem prefect on the outside while they're dying on the inside...great great song =)
What's with the last stanza?
yea whenever i hear "hes only an actor", im always like "yea, celebrities are really fake and we dont need to look up to them". b/c the real people we should look up to are right in front of us, not on the movie screen. i have no clue about the last stanza
The last stanza describes the reality underneath the act. Loneliness, alcoholism, suicide, death, panic/anxiety. That is the real scenario, despite outward perfection.
Sorry, but I don't think this song is about a literal actor. I do believe if you look past the obvious text you will see that they are talking about an actual person. Maybe a friend, maybe an enemy they feel sorry for, maybe even themselves. People are fake and even the best of us sometimes don't have our shit together.
either way this song kicks ass. especically the whole "the chains lie broken one by one..." part. its masterfully written.
is it just me or could this song possibly be written about elvis presley? elvis was infamous for shaking his hips on television, and in his later years turned to drugs and alcohol.
