Feel
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I cannot get enough
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste
I just wanna feel real love
And life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Robbie Williams's song "Feel" speaks to a feeling of disconnect that many people may experience throughout their lives. Williams is reaching out for someone to hold his hand and help him connect with the world around him. He wants to feel "real love" and to feel at home in his own skin. However, he is struggling to come to terms with the role that he has been given in life.
He speaks of speaking to God, but feeling as though he doesn't understand the plan that has been laid out for him. He is afraid of falling in love and then needing to leave, which he feels is an inevitability. He is constantly running, both from himself and towards a future that he cannot see. Through all of this, Williams is searching for meaning, purpose, and connection.
Overall, "Feel" is a powerful and emotional song that expresses a struggle that many people can relate to. It is a call for connection and for someone to reach out and hold Williams's hand as he navigates the challenges and difficulties of life.

I used to listen to this song when I thought I would be alone forever.
Now I am listening to this song as I am writing my wedding vows.
Hang in there, folks. Love is coming your way.

No, for some people love is not included in their life package. As some products say “ batteries not included”.

This was my mother's favorite song. She passed away in 2020 and I always think of her when I listen to it. If you're reading this, take a time to be with your mother - if you live together -, put her favorite songs on. It worths the moments and the memories, I promise.

May she rest in peace 🙏🏻❤
