Feel
Embracing the Echoes: Unveiling the Sentiment Behind 'Feel' by Bombay Bicycle Club
Lyrics
I can feel it now that you've gone
The speaker senses a change or emotional shift now that the person they're addressing has departed.
I have made you all that I want
The speaker has centered their desires and wishes around the departed individual, making them the primary focus.
I know you're keeping to your own sound
Acknowledgment that the person is following their own path or interests.
You're running out of sight when the light goes down
The person tends to disappear or distance themselves when circumstances become difficult or when things get dark.
Said you'll be waiting 'till the night's done but there's no one
The person promised to wait until a specific time but didn't fulfill that commitment.
And the world went on but I always knew you'd come
Despite the absence, there was a belief or expectation that the person would return.
Just one feeling, just one feeling
Repetition emphasizes the importance of a single, particular emotion or feeling as a pivotal indicator.
Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-I can feel it coming so clear
The speaker anticipates an imminent arrival or occurrence, feeling it strongly.
I can feel you already there
Feeling a sense of presence or existence even before the actual arrival or manifestation.
And I can see you with my eyes shut
Imagining or perceiving the person even when not physically present.
You're running in my head and I can't keep up
The thoughts of the person are dominating the speaker's mind, making it hard to keep pace.
Said you'll be waiting for the next one
Similar to line 5, a promise to wait for a future event that wasn't upheld.
But I always knew, I always knew you'd come
Despite past occurrences, there was always a belief or expectation of the person's return.
Just one feeling, just one feeling
Repeated emphasis on the significance of a single feeling as a determining factor.
Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Our love was long so long
Expressing that the love shared was prolonged but ultimately forgotten or left behind like an old, disregarded song.
And then forgotten like an old song
Comparing the forgotten love to something that fades away and loses significance over time.
You said your life went on
Confirmation that the person moved forward in life despite the relationship ending.
But I always knew I always knew you'd come
Despite their departure, there was always an expectation or belief in the person's eventual return.
Just one feeling, just one feeling
Reiteration of the significance of a singular feeling as a determinant of knowledge or understanding.
Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
-Just one feeling, just one feeling
-Just one feeling, just one feeling then I know
