Second Nature

In 'Second Nature,' Stalking Gia delves into the complexities of love and the comfort it brings amidst personal turmoil. The song opens with a sense of vulnerability, as the artist expresses feelings of exhaustion and anxiety. This sets the stage for a narrative where love becomes a sanctuary, a place of security in a world that often feels overwhelming. The lyrics, 'I'm at the height of my anxiety / I know you love me / But I'm just searching for security,' highlight the duality of seeking solace in a partner while grappling with internal struggles.

The recurring theme of memories and their tangible impact is vividly portrayed through lines like 'Memories come around / And run their fingers through my hair.' This personification of memories suggests a deep, almost physical connection to the past, which intertwines with the present and future. The artist's plea, 'Don't say another word / If it's not what I want to hear,' underscores a desire to preserve the sanctity of this love, avoiding any negativity that could disrupt the fragile peace it provides.

The chorus, 'If it feels like a dream, then it is one / Keep on, keep on, keeping on / Loving you is second nature to me now / I can't stop,' encapsulates the essence of the song. Love is depicted as an instinctual, almost automatic response, akin to a second nature. This unwavering devotion is further emphasized with the lines, 'I found religion in your eyes / Don't you leave me behind now / Swear I found heaven in your eyes,' elevating the partner's presence to a divine level. The song beautifully captures the idea that true love becomes an intrinsic part of one's being, offering a sense of completeness and unwavering support.
