Feelin' Again
Rekindling Emotions: John Hiatt's Journey of Rediscovery in 'Feelin' Again'
Lyrics
I thought I had to cut off from my head down to my toes
Feeling like needing a complete change or overhaul, possibly emotionally or mentally.
But heaven knows that I was wrong, I'm feeling again
Despite previous beliefs, there's a realization of experiencing emotions once more.
Holding my breath and holed up in this cheap motel, I feel like hell
Feeling terrible while staying in a low-cost motel, possibly indicating emotional distress.
I'm holding my own heart, I'm feeling again
Embracing emotions by acknowledging one's own heart and feelings.
When I get that feeling like a bass drum
Experiencing a strong, intense sensation akin to a bass drum beating.
Pounding til my head is numb
Intense and relentless pounding leading to a numbing sensation in the head.
Electric onion peeling within
Feeling an intense, internal sensation akin to peeling layers, possibly indicating deep emotional introspection.
I got that feeling again
Experiencing a familiar emotional state once more.
(I got that) Feeling again
Repeated confirmation of experiencing a known feeling again.
(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
-And all those nights just kill a billion brain cells
Referencing nights of excess that have taken a toll on mental faculties.
Now I'm swelling up inside with teeth and nails, I'm feeling again
Feeling a surge of aggression or tension internally.
From the bottoms up I put the top down on this town
Starting afresh by reconfiguring life from the bottom to the top.
And drove it around till I passed out, I'm feeling again
Driving around until losing consciousness, potentially indicating escapism or avoiding emotions.
When I get that feeling like a bass drum
Recurrence of the intense sensation, similar to a bass drum.
Pounding til my head is numb
Continued pounding leading to numbing of the head.
Electric onion peeling within
Intense and internal emotional experience, likened to peeling layers.
I got that feeling again
Reiteration of experiencing a familiar emotion once more.
(I got that) Feeling again
Repeated affirmation of feeling a known emotion again.
(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
-Morning comes like Catholic guilt, wilted lettuce bar
Morning arrives with a sense of guilt and reminders of past mistakes.
The family farm on false alarms, I'm feeling again
Reference to familial ties disrupted by false alarms or misunderstandings.
Holding on to fear and lust and hate, now it's too late
Holding onto negative emotions like fear, lust, and hate, realizing it's too late to change.
To spin the wheel, it's drink or feel, I'm feeling again
Confronted with the choice between drinking to escape or feeling emotions.
When I get that feeling like a bass drum
Recurrence of the intense feeling likened to a bass drum.
Pounding til my head is numb
Continued pounding leading to a numbing sensation in the head.
Electric onion peeling within
Intense internal emotional experience, akin to peeling layers.
I got that feeling again
Reiteration of experiencing a familiar emotion once more.
(I got that) Feeling again
Reaffirmation of feeling a known emotion again, emphasizing its recurrence.
(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
-(I got that) Feeling again
