Feel Like Living
Embracing Life's Radiance: Hothouse Flowers' Anthem
Lyrics
It took a long time, a long time
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
It came to me when I needed it so bad
Realization or insight received at a crucial moment of need.
A long time, a long time I wasn't waiting
Acknowledging a prolonged period of not expecting or anticipating something.
I wasn't down with what I had
Discontent with the current state of affairs.
Let me start, let me start at the beginning
Expressing a desire to narrate from the starting point.
When I first set eyes on you, I knew that you'd be the one
Recognition of someone as a significant person upon first sight.
Be the one that makes me feel like living
Attributing the ability to feel alive to a specific person.
You're the one that makes me feel
Reiterating the impact of the person on the speaker's emotions.
When you speak, when you sing
Highlighting the positive influence of the person's words and singing.
I see beauty shining down on everything
Perceiving beauty in everything due to the influence of the person.
'Cause your heart is still so pure
Emphasizing the person's enduring purity of heart.
You're as precious as the day that you were born
Comparing the person's preciousness to the day of their birth.
Let me start, let me start at the beginning
Repeating the desire to start the story from the beginning.
When I first set eyes on you
Recalling the initial moment of setting eyes on the person.
I knew that you'd be the one
Affirmation of the person being perceived as 'the one.'
Be the one that makes me feel like living
Attributing the feeling of living to the presence of the person.
You're the one that makes me feel
Reiterating the person's impact on the speaker's emotions.
You're the one that makes me feel like living
Reaffirming the person as the source of the speaker's vitality.
You're the one that makes me feel
Restating the emotional impact of the person.
The grass is always greener, the sun will always shine
Expressing a belief in the allure of other possibilities.
The sky is always clearer, just 'cos you're alive
Highlighting the constant positivity due to the person's existence.
Just 'cos you're alive, just 'cos you're alive
Repeating the affirmation of life connected to the person's existence.
You're the one that makes me feel
Reiterating the person as the source of the speaker's vitality.
You're the one that makes me feel like living
Affirmation of the person's role in making the speaker feel alive.
