I Feel the Light
Chasing Shadows: Embracing the Darkness in 'I Feel the Light' by Magical Powers
Lyrics
I don't like when you leave
I experience discomfort when you depart.
I like it when you stay
I enjoy it when you remain.
Please stay
A plea for you to stay.
When you leave you take a part of me
When you leave, a part of myself goes with you.
So just take the whole thing
Suggesting that it's preferable for you to take everything when you leave.
I'll go back to where I came from
Expressing a willingness to return to my origin or a familiar place.
Sequestered in my room
Describing being isolated in my room, a place where I feel secure.
I'm safe there
Emphasizing the safety I feel in seclusion.
Don't you wish you'd seen me sooner?
Reflecting on whether it would have been better if you had encountered me earlier.
I wonder how we got here
Expressing curiosity about how our current situation came to be.
Tell me things I shouldn't know
Requesting disclosure of information that I perhaps shouldn't be aware of.
Your smile fades from big to small
Noticing the diminishing size of your smile.
Running straight toward the flame
Describing a reckless move towards something potentially harmful.
Manic and misplaced
Characterizing a state of heightened energy and being out of place.
Empty weight
Feeling a sense of emptiness or lack of substance.
No reason to go there but I do
Acknowledging there is no logical reason to go to a certain place, but doing so anyway.
I wonder how we got here
Reiterating curiosity about the current situation.
Holding words in my nose
Holding back words or feelings, possibly due to hesitation or fear.
Pig lays in the sun
Painting a picture of a pig lying contentedly in the sun, suggesting a contrast to one's own state.
And you call and it's fine
Receiving a call, and everything seems okay.
Harrowing
Describing something distressing or agonizing.
I feel the light
Experiencing a revelation or a sense of clarity.
Fawning
Expressing admiration or affection, possibly in an exaggerated or insincere manner.
For something I can't find
Longing for something that remains elusive or cannot be found.
