- Natives LyricsI'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Up on the side of the field I see a city with lights
I touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she's not alive
I am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hide
Still reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
Her world is waiting for me, a world that I rarely used
I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Up on the side of the field I see a city with lights
I touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she's not alive

I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go

So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night, I'm f*cking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, the lyrics of 'Natives' by Blink-182 express very strong emotions which are reflected through the metaphor of the 'bastard child' going through a conflict with himself and longing for liberation. The words reveal that the person feels he is completely cut off from the world at the same time he wants to escape from the norms and find his own way, even if it means he decided not to go back home and be alone forever. Pain, love lost, and despair are the words that Natives mostly brings to the listener's mind, along with the reflection and solitude that they entail. Along with that, the songwriter also gives prominence to the fight for one's identity, the craving for freedom, and the inner turmoil that comes with it.
