Feeling Lucky
Stripped Emotions: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Jimmy Eat World's 'Feeling Lucky'
Lyrics
There's a chance, one of us will give in soon
There's a possibility that one of us will give in soon.
I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove?
Asking a question may not provide a meaningful answer.
I tried to get mad, but the fever drops
Attempts to get angry, but the intensity fades.
My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops
The heart can't break because it has stopped beating.
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Expressing the loss of a fortunate or positive feeling.
Wanna wrath, take a look around the room
Expressing a desire for anger; observing the surroundings.
It's a dance, tired steps in brand new shoes
Life is like a dance with repetitive steps in new circumstances.
I can only take a guess what morning brings
Uncertain about the future, making guesses about what the morning holds.
If it feels too good, then it probably is
Cautioning that if something feels too good, it might not be genuine.
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Reiteration of the loss of a fortunate feeling.
I follow your sign, wherever it leads I go
Following someone's guidance or signals, even if they lead to uncertainty.
But you turned your back so easily
Feeling abandoned as the person turned away easily.
It tells me everything I need, yeah
Believing that a situation provides all the necessary information.
Waiting for the line to move a foot, yeah
Waiting for progress, but it's slow and frustrating.
Wasting my life on nothing good
Regret over investing time in unproductive or negative pursuits.
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Reiteration of the loss of a fortunate feeling.
I should apt to tie it down or cut you loose
Contemplating whether to secure or let go of something.
It's a trap, and I'm sure I should not move
Perceiving a situation as a trap and being cautious about actions.
When I try to sing along, the needle skips
Struggling to engage or connect, facing disruptions.
I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but the half is friction
Hoping for a positive outcome despite potential difficulties.
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Reiteration of the loss of a fortunate feeling.
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me
Attributing the loss of luck to someone else.
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me, yeah
Reiteration of the loss of a fortunate feeling with emphasis.
