Tauren Wells - Supernatural Lyrics
Lyrics
I've been so numb
I don't know the last time
I felt a freedom that brought me to life
Words just don't work, don't know how to describe
The way I'm feelin'
What am I feelin'?
You got me rockin' like the ocean
Got me caught up in the moment
You're the only reason
For this supernatural feeling
It's more than just emotion
There is something taking over
You're the only reason
For this supernatural
Was down at the bottom so long I forgot
You've got the love that takes me to the top
Now that I'm floating I don't want to stop
The way I'm feelin'
What am I feelin'?
You got me rockin' like the ocean
Got me caught up in the moment
You're the only reason
For this supernatural feeling
It's more than just emotion
There is something taking over
You're the only reason
For this supernatural
You're the only reason
For this supernatural feeling
Supernatural, supernatural
Supernatural, Your love is
Supernatural, supernatural
Supernatural, Your love is
You got me rockin' like the ocean
Got me caught up in the moment
You're the only reason
For this supernatural feeling
It's more than just emotion
There is something taking over
You're the only reason
For this supernatural

Meaning & Inspiration
Tauren Wells' "Supernatural," from the *Hills and Valleys (Deluxe Edition)* album released on June 23, 2017, profoundly articulates a spiritual awakening that transcends mere emotion. The song opens with a raw confession of being "numb," experiencing a profound disconnect and a forgotten sense of freedom and life. This initial state resonates deeply with the human condition apart from divine grace, a sentiment mirrored in Scripture where humanity often finds itself adrift or "dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1). The artist describes being "down at the bottom so long I forgot," an echo of the psalmist’s cry from deep waters, where despair can become a suffocating norm (Psalm 69:2). This vulnerability sets the stage for the dramatic transformation that unfolds, painting a vivid picture of a soul yearning for something more than what earthly experiences can offer.
The pivot arrives with the emphatic declaration that "You're the only reason" for this profound shift. This central tenet unequivocally points to God as the sole source of this supernatural experience. The change is not incremental or self-willed; it is an immediate, overwhelming force, described as being "rockin' like the ocean" and "caught up in the moment." This powerful imagery captures the irresistible draw and joy found in God's presence, reminiscent of being filled to overflowing, where "in your presence there is fullness of joy" (Psalm 16:11). The song clarifies that this is "more than just emotion"; it’s "something taking over." This distinction is crucial, elevating the experience beyond fleeting sentimentality to a genuine spiritual encounter, a work of the Holy Spirit who indwells believers and produces fruit that is undeniably divine (Galatians 5:22-23). The freedom felt, which "brought me to life," perfectly aligns with the promise that "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom" (2 Corinthians 3:17) and the life-giving truth of Christ's redemption (John 8:36).
The journey from the bottom to "floating" and being "taken to the top" illustrates the restorative power of divine love. It’s God's boundless affection that lifts individuals from spiritual stagnation and despair into a realm of peace and purpose that defies worldly understanding. This love is not earned but freely given, transforming a once-numb existence into one vibrant with life, a testament to God's relentless pursuit and salvation, even "while we were still sinners" (Romans 5:8). The repeated affirmation, "Your love is supernatural," serves as a powerful anchor, reinforcing that this experience is entirely a gift from above, beyond human capacity to create or comprehend. It’s a divine embrace that encompasses, energizes, and elevates, inviting every individual to experience the transformative power of a God whose love indeed "surpasses knowledge" (Ephesians 3:19). "Supernatural" ultimately stands as an inspiring anthem for anyone seeking authentic freedom and joy, reminding us that such profound encounters are not only possible but are the very essence of a life lived in communion with our Creator.
