How It Feels
Journey of Solitude: Embracing Loneliness in Slowly Slowly's 'How It Feels'
Lyrics
I just like the card don't mind what you get
I appreciate simplicity and don't care about the outcome.
I know you want a moment that we can forget
A desire for a memorable moment that can overshadow difficulties.
1964, 1998 - something bout a close call, little twist of fate
References to specific years, implying significant events or memories.
Just get in the car, you better watch that tongue
A warning to be cautious with words while entering a situation.
I know how it feels to be alone
An understanding of the feeling of loneliness.
Do you know how it feels to be awake every night for 10 fucking years in a coma?
Expressing a prolonged period of wakefulness and emotional distress.
In an orbit of lies just waiting for the sun to pour over?
Being surrounded by deceit, waiting for a hopeful change.
And I told them to you in the hope someday I would believe them
Sharing truths with the hope of eventually believing in them.
You say I don't know how it feels? Baby I know how it feels
Challenging someone who claims ignorance of a shared emotional experience.
I have felt it every single time when you go to smile & drop your eyes
Experiencing a familiar emotional pain when someone avoids eye contact while smiling.
Mansions in the burbs, silence in the rooms
Contrasting a luxurious exterior with a silent and empty interior.
I just heard you praying at the bottom of the pool
Discovering vulnerability or desperation through prayer in unexpected places.
Just get in the car, you better watch that tongue
Reiterating the warning about being careful with words in a repeated scenario.
I know how it feels to be alone
Reaffirming the familiarity with the feeling of loneliness.
Do you know how it feels to be awake every night for 10 fucking years in a coma?
Continuation of the expression of extended wakefulness and emotional distress.
In an orbit of lies just waiting for the sun to pour over?
Remaining in a cycle of deception, awaiting a positive change.
And I told them to you in the hope someday I would believe them
Repeating the act of sharing truths with the hope of self-belief.
You say I don't know how it feels? Baby I know how it feels
Challenging the disbelief in the shared emotional experience.
I have felt it every single time when you go to smile & drop your eyes
Recurrence of the familiar emotional pain during specific actions.
I know how it feels
Reiteration of the understanding of the feeling of loneliness.
