Feelin' Alright
Rediscovering Self amidst Emotional Turmoil
Lyrics
Seems I got to have a change of scene
Desire for a change of environment or circumstances
Every night I have the strangest dreams
Experiencing unusual or unsettling dreams regularly
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Feeling confined or trapped by what could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
Left alone, isolated, as it appears
I got to leave before I start to scream
Feeling the need to leave before reaching a breaking point
'Cause someone locked the door and took the key
Sense of being locked out or denied access
You feelin' alright?
Inquiring about someone's well-being
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Expressing personal discomfort or unease
Yes, you feelin' alright?
Asking again about the other person's state of mind
I'm not feelin' that good myself
Reiterating own discomfort
Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Feeling taken advantage of or deceived
And even now I sit and I wonder why
Reflecting on past events with confusion and regret
That when I think of you I start myself to cry out
Emotional pain triggered when thoughts turn to the person
I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry
Deciding not to waste time on emotional distress
Gotta stop believin' in all your lies
Realizing the need to stop believing in the other's falsehoods
'Cause there's too much to do before I die, hey
Awareness of pending tasks or ambitions before life's end
You feelin' alright?
Checking on the other person's well-being again
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Reaffirming personal discomfort
You feelin' alright?
Not feeling well, addressing a young woman
I'm not feelin' too good, little girl
Advising caution in comprehending the speaker's words
Don't get too lost in all I say
Warning against fully believing everything said
Yeah by the time I really felt that way
Reflecting on a past time when the emotions were genuine
But that was then, and now you know it's today
Recognizing the difference between past and present feelings
I can't get off, I guess I'm here to stay
Feeling stuck in the current situation without a way out
'Til someone comes along and takes my place, yeah
Anticipating someone else taking over the speaker's role
With a different name, oh, and a different face
Expecting a replacement with a different identity
You feelin' alright?
Reiterating concern for the other's well-being
I'm not feelin' that good myself
Restating personal discomfort
You feelin' alright?
Checking again on the other person's condition
Hey, not feeling that good myself
Expressing significant personal unease
Woah, not feelin' alright
Strongly indicating personal discomfort and distress
Yeah, not feelin' that good myself
Reaffirming intense personal discomfort
Oh, woah, I'm not, well I'm not feelin' good myself
Struggling with personal well-being, suggesting turning away
You can turn away, feelin' alright I'm not feeling too good myself
Encouraging the other person to feel alright despite personal distress
