(Verse 1)
This house was mine, I knew every board and break
Traced the water stains for goodness sake
But the foundation cracked, the timbers gave a groan
Waged a war inside myself, against my own bones
My silence was a poison, a slow and patient decay
Til you came like a storm from a world away
(Pre-Chorus)
I signed the pact in sterile, blinding white
Left the door unlocked for you that night
Felt a foreign current, a whole new kind of ache
A promise my own biology could break
(Chorus)
Oh, and I’m begging my own body not to fight
This unnatural love in the dead of night
I plead with every cell to learn your name
‘Cause you’re the only reason I’m still in the game
Every heartbeat’s a rhythm that’s out of time
But this unnatural love, God, it has to be mine
(Verse 2)
The mirror shows a stranger where I used to be
Your map is etched right into me
This fragile truce is something I now guard
Every breath a prayer, I pray so hard
You're the medicine and you're the disease, I swear
A beautiful violence hanging in the air
(Pre-Chorus)
They talked of miracles in that blinding white
Never mentioned the terror of the endless night
This brand new pulse, this violent, perfect ache
A promise that my very soul could break
(Chorus)
Oh, and I’m begging my own body not to fight
This unnatural love in the dead of night
I plead with every cell to learn your name
‘Cause you’re the only reason I’m still in the game
Every heartbeat’s a rhythm that’s out of time
But this unnatural love, God, it has to be mine
(Bridge)
I don’t know where you end, I don’t know where I start
They fixed the engine but they broke apart
The person I once was, the one I thought I knew
Now everything I am is tangled up in you
I traded my own blueprint for your beat
A salvation that feels like a bittersweet defeat
(Chorus - Breakdown, vocals strained and cracking with emotion)
I AM BEGGING MY OWN BODY NOT TO FIGHT
THIS UNNATURAL LOVE WITH ALL ITS MIGHT
I'M SCREAMING AT MY VEINS TO LEARN YOUR NAME
YOU'RE THE ONLY DAMN REASON I'M STILL IN THE GAME
EVERY HEARTBEAT'S A CHAOS I CAN'T DEFINE
BUT THIS UNNATURAL LOVE... GOD, IT'S MINE... oh it's mine...
(Outro)
(Sound of a single, slow, amplified heartbeat)
Just... don't reject me.
(Heartbeat fades to silence)
About The Song
"Unnatural Love" uses the emotional core of a recent scientific breakthrough—the successful transplant of a genetically modified pig kidney into a human—as a powerful metaphor for desperate adaptation and survival. Influenced by the raw, soul-baring vocal style of artists like Teddy Swims, the song transforms the clinical event into a deeply personal and volatile love story. The protagonist isn't just a patient; they are an active agent in a profound internal conflict, pleading with their own body to accept a foreign 'savior' that is essential for life. The lyrics frame the organ not as a medical device, but as a new 'lover' their body instinctively wants to reject. This explores the universal human theme of integrating a difficult, world-altering new reality—be it a relationship, a trauma, or a physical change—and the terror and gratitude that come with realizing your survival depends on something you don't fully understand.
Production Notes
Vocals: The performance is paramount. Capture it with a vintage-style tube microphone (like a U47 or C12) for warmth and detail. The vocal chain should be dynamic: light compression (2:1 via an LA-2A) in the verses, but slamming into a more aggressive compressor (like an 1176 'all buttons in' mode) blended in during the choruses. Saturation is key to getting the gritty, on-the-edge-of-breaking sound, especially in the bridge and final chorus.
Arrangement: Begin sparse and intimate. A filtered piano, a deep synth pad, and a low, pulsing kick drum mimicking a heartbeat. Introduce swelling, tremolo-soaked electric guitars in the pre-chorus. The chorus needs to explode with a live drum kit (powerful, roomy snare sound), a driving P-bass, and a prominent Hammond B3 organ to provide a gospel-tinged soulfulness. The final chorus should feel like chaos, with ad-libbed vocal runs and instruments pushed into light distortion.
Mix Automation: Ride the faders. The lead vocal needs to be front-and-center, with reverb and delay throws automated to increase dramatically from verse to chorus. Pan background vocals and harmonies wide to create a huge stereo image. In the final chorus, automate a subtle distortion plug-in on the lead vocal to ramp up the intensity and grit.
Performance Note: The singer must convey a desperate vulnerability. The verses should feel like a hushed, terrified confession. The choruses are pleas that grow into demands. The transition from the quiet bridge into the final, screamed chorus should feel like a complete emotional release—the breaking point of gratitude and terror combined.
