Do You Ever Feel
Lost Moments: Nostalgia and Reflection in Colony House's 'Do You Ever Feel'
Lyrics
Meet me at the corner church
Invitation to meet at a symbolic place, the corner church, where their journey began.
Where everything started back when
Reflecting on the past and the origin of their experiences.
We were all kids full of ideas
Nostalgia for carefree childhood with dreams and ideas.
Chasing all our dreams down the interstate
Chasing dreams in the fast-paced journey of life.
Let's drive into the city
Suggesting a journey into the city, a new phase of life.
And count up all these buildings
Counting buildings, metaphor for assessing life's complexities.
Then name them after problems
Naming buildings after problems, acknowledging challenges.
We never saw existing
Recognition of unforeseen difficulties.
(Do you ever feel, do-do you ever feel like)
Introspective question about feeling lost or disconnected.
Do you ever feel like you're out of time?
Feeling like time is slipping away, a common existential concern.
(Do you ever feel) like you're losing touch?
Expressing a sense of losing connection or relevance.
(Do you ever feel) like it just doesn't mean enough?
Doubting the meaningfulness of actions or pursuits.
Do you ever feel, do-do you ever feel like
Repetition of the questioning, emphasizing uncertainty.
Do you ever feel like I do, I do?
Confirming shared feelings of disconnection and uncertainty.
Call me when you get my message
Request to be contacted when the message is received.
I'm sorry that it's taken so long
Apologizing for the delay, acknowledging the passage of time.
But you know how life goes
Acceptance of life's speed, especially as one ages.
It's faster when you're older
Reflecting on the accelerated pace of life with age.
Let's go bend an elbow when you're home
Proposing a meeting to share experiences and laughter.
And laugh about the river
Recalling shared memories, possibly positive ones by a river.
Or complain about the news
Expressing a commonality in complaining about worldly issues.
We can cry about your mother
Sharing emotional pain, possibly related to loss.
And everyone else that we lost too soon
Mourning those departed prematurely.
(Do you ever feel, do-do you ever feel like)
Reiteration of the introspective questioning.
Do you ever feel like you're out of time?
Reemphasizing the feeling of running out of time.
(Do you ever feel) like you're losing touch?
Reinforcing the sense of losing connection or relevance.
(Do you ever feel) like it just doesn't mean enough?
Affirming the perception that things lack sufficient meaning.
Do you ever feel, do-do you ever feel like
Repeating the questioning, seeking understanding.
Do you ever feel like I do, I do?
Restating shared feelings of disconnection and uncertainty.
Like I do, I do
Repetition emphasizing the commonality of these feelings.
Like I do, I do
-(Like I do, I do)
Further emphasis on the shared experience of feeling lost.
(Like I do, I do)
-(Do you ever feel like)
Reiteration of the introspective question.
(Like I do, I do?)
Reaffirming the shared nature of feeling lost or disconnected.
Like I do, I do
Repetition underscoring the universality of the emotional experience.
Like I do, I do
-Do you ever feel like
Posing the question again, probing the listener's feelings.
Like I do?
Asking directly if the listener ever feels the way the singer does.
Oh, do you ever feel like, do you ever feel like
Reiteration of the question, seeking validation or understanding.
Like you're out of time?
Returning to the theme of running out of time, a sense of urgency.
(Do you ever feel like)
Reemphasizing the shared emotional state.
(Like I do, I do?)
Repeating the question with a plea for shared understanding.
Do you ever feel, do you ever feel like
Posing the question once more, exploring the feeling of losing time.
Like you're losing time?
Expressing the fear or reality of time slipping away.
Like it just doesn't mean enough?
Reiterating the idea that things may lack sufficient meaning.
Like I do, I do
Final repetition, underscoring the shared emotional experience.
