Feels
Emotional Dance of Desire: Raheem Bakare's 'Feels' Unveiled
Lyrics
Don't you go pretending no
Don't pretend or act uncertain.
Or come across uncertain
Being unsure or hesitant is not acceptable.
I can't let you be
I cannot allow you to be.
My downfall ain't fair cos it's my fault
My downfall is unfair, but I acknowledge it's my fault.
(It's all my fault, whoa)
Emphasizing self-blame for the downfall.
But here we are again
We find ourselves in this situation again.
And I can't contain the feeling babe
I cannot control the strong emotions when you're around.
When you're here with me
Expressing intense feelings when together.
I won't and I don't wanna
I prefer not to come on too strong.
Come on too strong babe
Cautioning against excessive intensity.
Cos what I want ain't
Desire doesn't align with actual needs.
What I need, still
There's a disparity between wants and necessities.
Could we act like we never knew
Suggesting pretending as an option to avoid consequences.
What could happen
Reflecting on the potential outcomes of actions.
I been here before I know my way round
Having experienced similar situations before.
But I really could've sworn it wouldn't go down
Surprised that the situation unfolded despite expectations.
Your changing your tune up on me lately
Noticing a recent change in behavior.
And if I pursue you'd only end up
Predicting negative consequences if pursuing the current path.
Hating me, coz we're waist deep (deep)
Acknowledging potential hatred due to deep involvement.
Are we even gonna sleep, be real
Raising questions about the possibility of sleep.
Don't you go pretending no (pretending)
Reiterating not to pretend or be uncertain.
Or come across uncertain
Emphasizing the need for clarity and certainty.
I can't let you be (let you be)
Asserting the inability to let certain behaviors persist.
My downfall ain't fair cos it's my fault
Repeating acknowledgment of personal fault in the downfall.
(It's all my fault, whoa)
Reiterating self-blame for the situation.
But here we are again (here we are again)
Reflecting on the recurrence of the situation.
And I can't contain the feeling babe
Expressing the difficulty in controlling emotions when together.
When you're here with me
Intense emotions experienced in the presence of the other person.
I won't and I don't wanna
Avoiding coming on too strong, emphasizing restraint.
Come on too strong babe
Reiterating the caution against excessive intensity.
Cos what I want ain't
Desire doesn't align with actual needs, echoing a previous sentiment.
What I need, still
Reiterating the disparity between wants and necessities.
Could we act like we never knew
Suggesting the possibility of pretending ignorance to the consequences.
What could happen
Reflecting on the potential outcomes of actions, repeated from line 15.
